And now I've just discovered there's a bootleg of the show on Youtube so that's exciting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDmo4QTvc_w Were such a fantastic live band. It's beautiful & as you say transcendent but also heavy and love them a lot.

Saw Michael Gira, Isis, High on Fire, Thrones, Justin Broadrick and I don't even recall all who else. Couldn't afford a hotel so we slept in the park one night and next to the merch stands another. Thanks for the heads up on the new Mogwai!

I missed my granny's funeral to go to Supersonic '08. Genuinely the most pleasant festival experience I've ever had, just such an interesting selection of bands, incredibly chill atmosphere, in a great venue. Far as I remember I ended up in a Eurohotel halfway across Brum, shared with my cousin & it was about £20 a night. Even paying for a minicab on the way back it was far cheaper than anywhere else.

Yeah, it had a really nice feel, reminded me of this community social centre/arts & music venue I went to sometimes at uni that used to put on these bizarre shows with BYOB or tinnies sold out of multipacks and cheap vegan food. I saw Bong play there before they'd released anything, playing between a couple harsh noise acts. Long since closed due to licensing issues (maybe not so surprising given the above), and surely nothing to do with the expensive new flats being developed nearby. Temples Festival in Bristol had a bit of that vibe, though on a larger scale. Sad that that all ended badly, I went in 2015 and it was fantastic.

Standing for the NIP gets her kicked out of the party and they never have to explain why they've done it. Putting this through the courts makes it a matter of public record, and keeps it in the news longer.

Guavanaut posted:It's a well known fact that the 1990s ran from at least November 9th 1989 to September 10th 2001, when history remembered that it hadn't actually ended. Actually I think at one point I dated the Cultural 90s as running from the first episode of Seinfeld (mid 89) to the last episode of Friends (mid 04), but on reflection the 12 good seasons of The Simpsons are actually a better match both culturally and chronologically. I've never thought of the British equivalent start and end points but I feel like Red Dwarf to The Office is in the right area?

Eh, I know some people claim it's 8 (and real sickos claim it went to poo poo the moment they moved the animation to Korea) but for me season 12 is definitely the point where it went off the boil. As a general aside I always find that the complaints people have about seasons 8-12 or so actually apply considerably more to their alleged golden age (too many shoehorned-in cameos, Homer being really dumb, too much reliance on pop-culture references). Mind you That 90s Show remains my favourite episode because of just how angry it makes that sort of person so my opinion is as always mostly spite-based.
