It's not the end - I'm living proof (just about - surviving on fumes and gradually falling apart).

That's a pain. Maybe it'll be made available in the wake of all the interest stirred up by the surprise demo release? 🀞

A new film about FUGAZI reaffirms why they're DIY punk icons For those who saw Fugazi live, this new film is a reminder of their potency; for those who didn’t, it justifies why they’re so revered.

I was lucky enough to catch it in the cinema. Well worth hunting out. www.buzzmag.co.uk/fugazi-from-...

Hope this went well. Oh to still be living in Nottingham. It'd be nice to have something like this in Cardiff...

Never have the dormant loins of so many tired 50 year old men in hats stirred in such perfect synchronicity.

Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)

Incredible live, and the latest album is wonderful. Still gutted I was compelled to leave him for Underworld at Green Man (though Underworld were equally unmissable).

Good point - I've joined the Dice waiting list for Bristol, albeit in hope rather than expectation as I suspect it'll be very lengthy.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adultsβ€”Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebeβ€”living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
