Re. live music chat. Polysics upstairs at Manchester's Star and Garter was as brilliantly insane as it was incomprehensible. For a similar experience most weekends I recommend JT Soar in Nottingham. A former potato merchant in a yet to be gentrified corner of the city, holds about 40 people, open floor and you bring your own beer. Frequently gets into trouble with local residents for deafening, thundering math rock emissions. From the scant footage I've seen so far, Flaming Lips had the most impressive set at Glastonbury. Although I do love me a bit of on-form Grohl.

I think Mr Adequate makes some good points. It's like, why would I go to the pub when it's cheaper to buy a couple six packs and drink them in a darkened room at home? Don't have to queue that way and no danger of some pissed up geezer trying to tell you how he feels about immigrants when you go for a slash (as long as you stay away from the bathroom mirror).

Lifeglug posted:I was there for that and I gained infinite amounts of respect for Daphne and Celeste for not only turning up to what was going to be an absolute shitshow, but actually performing a couple of songs. I was at Leeds that year. IIRC they were scheduled between Slipknot and RATM? Basically the worst possible slot for them, and it ended in the inevitable. I also vividly remember something like the wall of death, but no-one was on stage and we were just throwing bottles at the opposite line about ten metres away. Not sure how that happened!? kecske posted:it opened again in january Do Fabric still have the floor? I haven't been for ages, but I've got fond memories of 3-hour Scratch Perverts sets finishing when the club gets shut down at 7am and getting the first tube home. My membership is still going, I should probably head back there soon. It's weird - I'm a bit of a shut in if I'm honest, work in IT, all the usual stuff. But going out and dancing to music I like is just so freeing, I love it. The whole spectrum - I've done two weeks in Ibiza which were loving amazing, still go to Fabric / MoS on occasion, have been to Latitude for the last couple of years (HAIM were brilliant live) and am really looking forward to Arnocorps visiting Camden in August. The whole spectrum of music (well, except for Jazz) is great, but live is even better. You don't have to get in the pit (and I don't as much as I used to), but it's just so much fun to let it all go. To the point that I wrote my "free" essay in A-level General Studies about how dancing is this transcendental experience which frees everyone and lets you let go, maaaaaaaaaaaan Here's a very good video example of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RkyxNa2W9o Mr Adequate - what music do you actually like? It might be that it's just more conducive to being listened to recorded, rather than live. OFC gigs aren't necessarily for everyone, but I don't think I've seen anyone have a bad time at a gig.

forkboy84 posted:Eh. There's been a strong left wing voice in the SNP for literally decades now. Like, Alex Salmond, Kenny MacAskill & some other current big hitters in the party were expelled in the early '80s by Gordon Wilson (fitting to be talking about him today with him having just died). It didn't amount to poo poo, even after they all came back. Sure, they wore Labours clothes but they've gone no further than that. It bewilders me that people can look at 10 years now of the SNP in government, with supposedly centre-left leaders in Salmond & Sturgeon, & convince themselves that poo poo would somehow change post-independence. They'll continue being firmly opposed to anything radical. Oh I agree, but others do still convince themselves of that.

So Michael Eavis has told everybody at a live Q&A that he asked Corbyn when he's going to get rid of Trident and he said 'as soon as I can'. So now we get to have another round of damaging articles about that particular topic. I mean I understand the guy is clearly pro-Corbyn and anti-nuke, but why do we have to do this every time? In terms of pressing issues facing this country whether or not we have nuclear weapons comes way down the list.

It's brilliant as well because "As soon as possible" is typical politician speech that can mean whatever the listener wants it to. Of course this means the Mail and friends will just here "Jeremy Corbyn is a sissy that doesn't want to kill innocents".

As a recent convert, and someone who has been critical of his attempts to dance around the nuclear issue in the past, I'm relatively relaxed about this. I mean, its certainly not helpful, but attacking him over his stance on nukes hasn't really worked so far, and puts quite a few people off (bloodthirsty thumbmen excepted). And given how many well-judged moves he's been pulling off lately, the occasional gaff is to be expected. And to be fair, we don't know what Corbyn actually said: Eavis was paraphrasing him and probably playing to the crowd for cheers.

The same few things get dragged out against Corbyn every time, I kind of wonder if the public is getting a little numb to the standard attacks against him by now anyway. I imagine that's part of the reason the Daily Mail/Sun headlines the day before election day didn't really gain traction despite being overwhelmingly venomous.

Corbyn's position has (at least for as long has he's been leader) always been that he wanted to move to a nuclear-free world and will get rid of Trident as part of that. "As soon as possible" definitely falls in line with that.

Comrade Cheggorsky posted:oh dear lol. What's oh dear about it? Come on. He's anti-nuke. This is not news to you, me or anyone who has paid attention to British politics in the past 2 years. Of course he's going to try to talk the party around on the issue, and & then he's going to try & talk the country around. That's who he is. It's about as uncontentious a statement as he can make but of course you have idiots who'll get in a flap over it. We know he won't use the nuclear deterrent, therefore it no longer works as a deterrent therefore there's no loving point having it. Plank Sanction posted:Re. live music chat.

I like a good small venue, completely the best way to see music. Was lucky enough to buy tickets to see Manic Street Preachers at King Tuts in Glasgow in 2010 or there abouts. Rampacked, 300 people, and it was a blast. Setlist wasn't what I'd have picked, didn't matter one jot because the experience was loving tremendous as you just don't get to see bands who are that big in great, small venues like that very often. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Jun 25, 2017 |

Not really, it's just irritating when even allies keep bringing it up when all it does is give the right wing press ammunition. Especially if said ally then goes out of his way to make sure a private conversation gets splashed all over the Daily Mail the next day. Plus we shouldn't get too cocky. Corbyn's popularity had steadily fallen to rock bottom thanks mainly to a sustained press assault. Now we're out of election mode that's going to be our regularly scheduled programme from now on, and there's nothing to suggest it won't start to erode his support just like it did before.
