It's pretty wild they keep taking people's money and there's complete radio silence from the press and other outlets.

Of course Jello Biafra has high blood pressure - he's been upset about something or other for nearly 50 years!

Get well soon!

It's 25 years this month when The Strokes started recording Is This It. 25 years prior to that the Pistols were playing the 100 Club. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Ironic that Steve is starting to look like the late Queen.

I've never seen Don't Look Down. At this point, I can get by without watching a film about parental loss.

I stopped watching the recent Titanic documentary when lots of people were going to hit the sea. No need. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Apparently The Sundays have recorded new music and nobody told me.

(Record Store Day re-issues postponed to coincide with new material later this year.)

I remember the last LP I bought at that time was the Judgment Night soundtrack. The vinyl was so thin it was almost a flexidisc. It was CDs from then on. Still bought 7"s as they never seemed to have the quality issues.

These ยฃ5, no frills CDs prove labels are still obsessed with trying to game the charts but there has to be artist buy-in too.

Sympathy for the acts who can't afford to play the game.

At this point, a cultural boycott of the US would be appropriate.

I'm sorry but we will only be listening to The Kinks and watching re-runs of The Good Life until the situation changes.

Mary Chain supporting Alice Cooper was the double bill I didn't see coming.

For over 25 years, the good folks at LiveNirvana.com have been saving #Nirvana and Kurt tapes and videos for posterity.

New for Xmas 2025 is a previously unheard gig from Hawaii in 1992.

Pop music still getting released on 7" is a smashing thing.

Word on the street is that Morrissey has got a new label.

In return he's OK-ed some future Smiths releases, starting with a live album for Record Store Day.

Good choice! ๐Ÿ˜† So you can either respond to the DM I sent you a while back or let me know if I need to send another. (Being genuine about the offer BTW)

LOL. Either would be a possibility! Let me know which you'd prefer.
