I went to London to see them do their second ever live show way back when '05 or '06 at the Underworld-. It was fun & quite novel, except Axis of Perdition had to withdraw as the support band meaning I've never been able to see them live and that is sad. Then they started playing all the time and the last time I saw them I fell asleep. Which makes it the second show I've ever fallen asleep at.

I remember them saying they could never play live with any regularity because they were just so metal and heavy and they did occasional shows with the bass player from Napalm Death and then boom, put a band together and touring!

Everyone is entitled to their own tastes. That thing is extremely out of my taste range. I've found that pretty much every human being I've met likes Queen, though. That's like common ground.

They should ostensibly claim not to support it, but do literally nothing to prevent it and then blame the Tories for the breakup of the Union.

Guavanaut posted:Is it even piracy if you're downloading anarchist music? Most of the local acts of that inclination normally run on a pay-what-you-want basis. Where do old Chumbawamba records fall. They're absolute pain to get hold of these days, even on P2P sites and such, nevermind youtube. I know I lost a few songs of theirs I had to a dying hard drive and I can't find them again at all.

I was listening to Prowler In The Yard as you posted this, neat coincidence. Also, talking about Scott Hull, the last Agoraphobic Nosebleed EP was loving tremendous. Sludge good enough that Eyehategod could have put it out. Pochoclo posted:Everyone is entitled to their own tastes. That thing is extremely out of my taste range. Hi, I think Queen are rank rotten, nice to meet you! Plus the whole breaking the cultural embargo on South Africa & continually denying it was a big deal was super lovely.

Sorry Corbs I love you but you dropped the ball here bigstyle. Join Labour For Indy. Labour needs more pro-independence voices, the SNP needs more criticism from the left.

I have to say, in all my life, you two are the first people I ever find that don't like Queen. Maybe brits are more likely to not like them? Prophets in their own land and all that.

I haven't paid for music, tv "boxsets", films, or video games since like 2004. I pirate basically everything. Sometimes I'll buy books hardcopy, but more often rip them from bookzz. Ama.

I still buy lots of music and will actively look for ways to buy music I've downloaded/pirated that wasn't available to buy at the time. I mean, if it means some arthritic ex-punk can buy another pint, that's my good deed for the day done.

I pay for Netflix and Google music because it's easier than pirating, and the money involved is negligible to me. If there's something more esoteric I'll pirate it, but that's less and less necessary these days

I think for me it's mostly that i can't stand the content-as-servive model. When i want an album i want it on my computer in a universal format like mp3 so i can quickly and easily play it anywhere on almost any device, without needing login credentials or proprietary apps. For sure there are certain places where you can do this for a limited amount of content, but frankly it's just easier to hit up a torrent site or soulseek. I got sick of having my poo poo spread across itunes, amazon, netflix, wherever. Now i just have a biggass folder called "movies" and everything just works.

forkboy84 posted:We won't vote for independence though. The fundamental economic questions that scared folk towards the status quo in 2014 still remain, even while the UK's own economic future is murky as gently caress. Something would need to change in the next 18 months, Brexit would have to be exceptionally bad. The fantasy that the North Sea oil is going to pay for everything has been pretty thoroughly dispelled by the last few years too. As an outsider, my money's on Leave just because nationalism seems to be on the rise everywhere, but the economic case is arguably even worse than it was in 2014, even with Brexit. It certainly doesn't seem likely that Sturgeon can promise to keep the pound this time if she wants to remain in the EU.

How is it compared to London with regards to safety, public transport, and quality of life in general? It's an attractive option for the post-collapse to me because they speak english there, and also cheap real estate (compared to London).

It's an attractive option for the post-collapse to me because they speak english there, and also cheap real estate (compared to London). Extremely safe in comparison to London. Public transport is ok up until midnight at least, but it's a much smaller city than London and you're never far from a taxi on a night out. Real-estate could only be considered cheap in comparison to London, the real problem is availability of housing stock in the city due to out perverse resistance to vertical construction. Overall, cool city, extremely liveable, good banter to be had E: for comedy's sake https://www.thejournal.ie/dublin-city-survey-new-york-london-and-paris-2618828-Feb2016/%3Famp%3D1

The people who cynically campaigned for Leave to work on their populist credentials while secretly hoping for Remain deserve some blame too.

Yeah, Davey Pigfucker made a horrible mistake in mortgaging the country to hold his party together so he could stay PM while complacently assumed we'd never commit suicide, but I'm not letting all the others responsible get away with it. Gideon, BoJo, Gove, loving Tony Blair sticking his oar in despite him being pure poison, and while I don't think he half-arsed it Corbyn did do a pisspoor job of getting his message out, which is the main theme of his time as leader. A whole lot of blame to go around really. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Mar 13, 2017 |

It is fairly telling that the SNP were regarded as to the left of Labour at the last election, yet have done basically nothing to protect Scotland from austerity and have basically been standard neoliberal gits.
