Yeah, when I need one I buy one from eBay for about $8. Sure it’s probably a bulk licence that’s been setup on a stolen credit card, but in all my years of doing this I’ve never had one of these licences revoked.
There are bands I wish I got to see live, but not many who I wish were still creating music - because bands generally break up when the members change and grow apart and they can no longer make the music they came together to make.
Just like a once great TV show that jumps the shark, we should applaud when a band decides that their creative race is run and they call it quits.
On that, I wish I’d seen (or even knew about) The Dillinger Escape Plan in their day. I wish I’d seen RATM live.
Edit: I just remembered another one. I saw this little domestic band, Horace Bones, play one of the smaller rooms at a festival once. Their set was absolutely amazing, and while their one album is good, it’s not like the live experience they put on that day. They played one or two more shows after that festival then disappeared, just ghosted their socials etc. I still have their tshirt from that gig.
I’m a bit younger than you but I remember measles was something recent when I was a kid, but it also wasn’t something that any of my contemporaries caught. This is what happens when you spend 40 years telling everyone that their opinion matters; your opinion doesn’t mean shit when it goes against verifiable scientific research.
Because I have multiple doors in my house which lead outside. I normally take my shoes off when I come inside, but sometimes I come in one door and then want to leave via a different door only to realise my shoes are at the other end of the house.
The same company has been harassing for the better part a year now wanting to buy a property I don’t own. I have filled a DO NOT CALL registration, I have blocked their numbers multiple times, I have told them to stop calling and to remove my name from their list, and now I’m getting maybe 1 or 2 calls a day and multiple...

Our crows seem entirely uninterested in the idea of a friendship. They will hang around talking to each other and waiting for a time to grab food, but they aren’t interested in coming to get it. The [Australian] Magpies will happily be your friend if you need them. I used to like them up along our fence and hand feed them one by one.
I swear Domino’s pizza is the best calorie to dollar ratio here. You can get a pizza that’s probably more than your daily calorie requirement for under $5 if you buy something like a Hawaiian at lunch time.
Just checked and a deep pan pepperoni is over 1200kcal and is AUD7 (USD4.60).
I think there’s a lot of value in just lying down on the floor and getting up like ten times a day. Being unable to get up after a fall is a huge problem for older people.
I feel like there are lots of parallels between the eighties and now (recession/inflation, yuppies/inequality, skin-heads/fascists, hot-cold wars etc.) but there used to be protest music! Where is that stuff now? Music that’s intelligent and outraged - like we should be!...
