For some reason I don’t see much ratioing on bad British tweets. Perhaps the UK is less keen on a pile-on, or at least, getting personally involved in one.

I have grown to hate the buskers that play near me. Mainly because I have now had to listen to Motherfucking WONDERWALL AND HALLELUJAH being butchered for hours on end. It's always the same songs too. It's driving me loving insane and I can't wait till winter comes and they stop being able to play music.

Bagpipe buskers were the loving worst. It's kinda funny the first time you hear the theme from Star Wars played on them but after a few hours it becomes a form of torture.

What gets me is buskers with a backing track that makes up 90% of the song and them just doing a bassline or something.

There is an old man in Belfast who has played Hava Nagila and two other tunes that I can't name (but know every note of now) on the fiddle all day at the same spot for about 15 years. There were videos uploaded of the old Primark building burning down last year and in some of them you could hear him fiddling away in the distance. He does a full bow when you put money in his case without breaking stride at all. I think that's an art form in itself tbh, especially given his age crispix fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Aug 17, 2019 |

If you've got a fiddle and something is on fire it is entirely proper to use it.

Could the UK...like...not exit the EU and keep strength against Russia-China instead of doing what they want which is to weaken the west through nationalism/racism/etc.? Is that, like, an option for security-safety-strategy reasons to say "Mmm...maybe not a good idea."

Wearing headphones and playing my own music takes me into the prozone layer. Also gently caress the warped tracks on some of the tube lines making that horrible resonating sound.

I feel like "Russia and China want to destroy The West and we have to fight that by not being nationalist or racist" is giving me a little aneurysm.

You'd think that but apparently the obvious security and economic benefits of staying in the EU and keeping things stable are weirdly unimportant to the right. (It's true that many on the left would want to change things up radically in our own way but that's clearly not what's driving the great majority of Brexit sentiment)

I once passed a 'busker' who literally just had a laptop with itunes and some big speakers attached, which I thought was pretty bold lolcrispix posted:Grumpy Whenever I get the train over to Edinburgh I'm reminded of how awful most bagpipe players are because gently caress me, they are everywhere in the old town. You only get them occasionally in Glasgow, and even then usually when they're there for a wedding or something (there seems to be one perpetually stationed outside of Oran Mor at the end of Byres Road). Don't get me wrong, they're impressive when they're played well, but even then you sort of start going mad after about 15 mins.

Artyg, a true legend. Once played with Deep Purple, spent his time busking full drunk outside Wellworths. There's now a plaque where he used to be, hes dead now. He was that well known. His death was in the Irish Times too: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/busker-with-a-free-spirit-and-heart-of-gold-1.987735 And Pink Panther man. He played the flute, and only knew one tune that gave him his name. He would play for HOURS. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Aug 17, 2019 |

Used to be a guy in Belfast round the back of the Hi Park that played the saw. Was inoffensive and fairly talented. Same place the bible thumper used to stand in full sandwich board roaring about the gays. I often wondered if they had some agreement about who was taking the spot when. Worst busking ever though is the low loving effort panpipe posse who play 'my heart will go on' on endless loving loop. It's got to be franchised in some way because there are millions of 'em and I've seen different groups doing this in several cities.
