Hi help I made this and now I have to get it off my phone.

Doctored photo of wrestler John Cena holding a suitcase with the words "Money In The Bank" on it but I've crudely placed Jim Gavin's face over Cena's and Michéal Martin's face over that of an audience member.

Gilla Band remain undefeated. Everyone in Leap probably has permanent hearing damage after that.

He was falling all over the place downstairs, then yelling something like "S.C.!" at woods when he came on. Who knows what his motivation was.

Gig of the year that. 'Pollo Rico' out of nowhere.

What was he shouting at woods as he came on? That was wild.

Support DJ is legitimately terrible, like it's the first time he's seen a set of decks.

DJ Haram's plane couldn't land but billy woods is still on at 20:30. No merch, which is a dose.

For National Poetry Day, a personal favourite of mine and one I think about more and more in these troubled times.

The Second Coming
By W.B. Yeats

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy

[Chorus]
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
(I said) The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

I’m forever online saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always Nick Cave's opinions.

Nick Cave says he is "neither on the left nor on the right" and "finding both sides indefensible and unrecognisable"

Nick Cave has shared insight on his political outlook, and said that he is "neither on the left nor on the right” as he finds both sides “unrecognisable”.

Utterly bizarre seeing an article on Rachel's in the Guardian. Brutally underappreciated band.

‘People seemed deeply insulted’: how cult 90s band Rachel’s took chamber music out of the classical world

The graceful ensemble prefigured the neo-classical phenomenon and found surprising success in the post-Nirvana alt-rock boom. After the deaths of two members, reissuing their debut has proven bittersw...

I’m being told by a spokesman for the Iona Institute that upon hearing news of her failure to get on the Presidential ballot, Maria Steen received the light of Islam and recited the Shahada without hesitation. Even now she looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah.

Goodwin & Simonson Alien adaptation. What a banger. Early Simonson coming on strong and Archie “never fails” Goodwin. So good. Mad colours. Thank goodness he kept he original art too. 2/x

V. disappointing, especially as Williams' work has had such a spark to it previously. Time to run the rule on the rest of the lineup!

That Carlos Niño + Saul Williams album is pure codology. Glad I haven't splashed out on their Jazz Weekend show. International Anthem putting their name to more dreck.
