Oh hi Mark.

What did Nick66 get banned for? That whole saga during the Achtung Baby remaster / rerelease was pretty epic. Guy got so much hate for speculating it wasn’t going to be a remaster and then even more hate when confirmed he was right.

Reservation Dogs just cemented itself as one of my all time favourite shows. Beautiful finale and I can’t wait to rewatch from the start. Other stuff I’ve watched and liked in recent times: The Bear: worth all the hype and like Res Dogs a show that loves to stop the plot and just let us be...

So can we start referring to him by his prison ID instead of 45 now?

Don’t forget Peggy Sue.

I finally read Surrender over the last couple of weeks, and one line that stood out to me was him acknowledging he is only 1/4 a musician and he needs his 3 band mates to be a complete musician. After listening to Pride, I’m not interested in 2/4 of a musician when I could be listening to a...

Very much agree with the pro-Boxer and SWB sentiments here. The former a true modern classic and the latter the progression I’d been waiting for since. This isn’t as good as those two, too early to see how it stacks up to High Violet and TWFM. But to me it’s not as “grey” as HV (something I...

Judging by Charles’ expression throughout I think he felt the same. The man does not inspire respect the way his mother did. It’s easy enough to ignore the Royal family most of the time and treat them as a tourist attraction. But the pomp and pageantry today just feels so undeserved in this...

Agree on it being a grower. Tropic Morning News didn’t grab me as a single but I really enjoyed it here. Once Upon a Poolside is yet another stellar opening track, listening on headphones it felt like Matt had his arms wrapped around me. Overall, no one song particularly jumped out at me, but...

The Wire. About to go through it again myself. You’d get 100 different responses to this from 100 different people, but ignore them and watch The Wire.

Great read Cobs. Spent longer reading it than I have listening to this project and I don’t see that ever changing. I love U2, but side projects without all four of them have never interested me. And listening to live performances over the years is a much better way of experiencing how they...

Isn’t this by original design? So the less populous states don’t get pushed around by the larger states, they all get equal representation in the Senate? The lads who created this system of government had probably assumed that all Senators would govern in good faith, but that’s another discussion.

So it sounds pre-Taylor? Man, his death hit me the hardest since Bowie. Wish they’d release footage of the LA tribute show. From what I read the two shows are comparable to U2’s Slane Castle shows after Bono’s dad passed, the first a wake and the second a celebration.

I’ll hang my head in shame on that. Went back and watched it again a couple of years later and it finally, definitely clicked with me. Night and cocksucking day.

Meanwhile I went to see Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate, Jack’s Mannequin) do a solo show and had a great night. Feels like it’s the same crowd coming back every 3 years. Had the vibe of a group of old friends singing along with the pianist as he belts out some favourites. He’s even put...

2022 sadly saw the end of Better Call Saul, Atlanta, Better Things and more, but 2023 bringing the goods right out the gate with The Last of Us. I played the game on release and honestly felt the plaudits were overdone. Sub-Metal Gear Solid stealth gameplay and a top tier video game story is...

Probably is time for another civil war. Elected leadership are either out for themselves or hamstrung by the first group, and there’s nothing United about this collection of states any more. Could the country just be split horizontally through the middle and y’all call it a day?

1 here. Merry Christmas!

Ah well, can’t win them all.

Shame about Australia, but that was a tough draw. Come on England.

Problem is that his personal pastry chef is an enabler, always shouting out, ”here come the buns” so Bono’s all like, “got to get you into my mouth”. You think he’s sticking to the diet but then he shows up remorseful with crumbs around his mouth, all he can say is, “I’ve just seen a pastry”.

Does the extra money go to the artist? Or is Ticketmaster cutting out the middleman and scalping tickets directly? Tickets to shows like Swift’s may have to go to a lottery system eventually. Live8 in the UK and the (good) Led Zep reunion did this. Ideally with ID required at the gate to stop...
