Re: My Band (New Music!)

And now it's EP release day! We finally got there after sitting down last April to plan all this out.



It's on Youtube, Bandcamp, Amazon, Tidal, Spotify and Apple Music for anyone with curious ears.

They rang the Board of Peace first and the director of it said everything was okay.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

It is supposedly part of the writer's brief that Netflix gives all their show runners that they need to account for divided attention so they have to spoon feed you the plot every five minutes. I think it's a shame that actual good quality story telling is being compromised because they want to focu...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

It was serviceable enough, wrapped up most of the characters stories, the new kids (Holly and Derek mainly) were actually the best parts of the season. It has absolutely lost the magic the first season had and turned into a brain dead Netflix show where the character's just exposition dump every 5 m...

Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

Bloody hell they really are attracting the absolute worst of the worst from the Tories.

You'd be an absolute mug if you voted for those cretins.

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Assuming they even go ahead, I'm sure Trump would love to find a reason to try and force them to be cancelled. And even if they go ahead, polling stations are going to be an absolute prime target for ICE to harass people so the voting will be interfered with. The chap they shot was an ICU nurse for ...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Fucking hell. I think that's the worst one I've seen so far. I'd love to hear what crap they're going to come up with to excuse this one because to me the video looks like they had a gang of officers pinning down a completely defenceless man on the floor and then they unloaded half a magazine of a p...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Now this is potentially interesting. With regards to Greenland, he just said "You can say yes and we'll be very grateful, or you can say no and we'll remember." Is that the first sign of him backing down? As in he won't actually do anything but sulk? He also said that they'd definitely not use forc...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Anyone listened to any of this Davos speech? He is such an imbecile it honestly beggars belief. I just watched him say "Greenland is vast and uninhabited, there's rare earth, well there's no such thing as rare earth, just rare processing, but there's so much vast amounts of rare earth, rare earth un...

I totally forgot to share this when it came out. But our second single off the upcoming EP came out in November! https://open.spotify.com/track/6Dmgh8x4D2pJ7OkA32Ic9W?si=50134b9d8eb74a0c It's done remarkably well despite us not spending any money promoting it. We peaked at almost 2500 monthly listen...

Just about sums up Ilkeston to be fair, a space devoid of anything of note.

Honestly I hope he has a stroke and cops it.

Re: The Room 102 thread - for things you love or just having a bloody good praise!

I rewatched Octopussy over the weekend because I wanted to see if it stood up as one of my top five Bond's. The answer is yes. I cannot dislike a Bond movie that has scenes like these in: https://www.bondsuits.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/octopussy-crocodile-sub.jpg https://www.bondsuits.com/wp-co...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Even if Democrats take over, the damage is generational. Good, to be honest. A more federalised Europe that looks after itself and with closer economic ties is a good thing in my book. Europe is more consumer friendly than America in general, the more the area can be seen as a stable power the more...
