MBV were everything I expected last night. Glad to have them ticked off my band bucket list. I will say this, though: I didn't think they were THAT loud?

Oh no, why won't anybody *checks notes* think of the weapons manufacturers?

Going for a walk in a bit just to listen to things like the sound of the waves for the last time after my ears no longer function tomorrow from mbv.

Reform’s leading councillor in Portsmouth, George Madgwick recently argued that young people are overpaid – backing Nigel Farage’s call to reduce the minimum wage

But what he didn’t mention is that several tribunals found that some of his own companies have failed to pay wages and holiday pay

I really do wish all football clubs would stop having gambling sponsors on their shirts. It's so irresponsible.

OK, if there are beings from other planets living on Earth, has anybody sat them down and shown them Matty Taylor goal compilations? Because I think they'd be impressed.

Re-watching the Star Wars saga (movies only) being winter and all, and I just hope one day for a movie about the marketing meeting in naming the Death Star. Because did a bunch of people sit around and throw out other ideas like 'Sith Sphere', 'Murder Moon', 'Killer Ball', etc?

This horse has a fringe and a pose that says they should be in a shoegaze band. A horseshoegaze band even.

Blimey! That's massive.
You deserve more … PULP! The band that inspired a generation are coming to EOTR for the first time, hot off the heels of their stunning 2025 LP More and the 30th anniversary year of Different Class. Joining them: country-glam powerhouse CMAT and MAC DeMARCO, who’ll bring his signature slacker charm.
