Went into Dealz about a decade ago for a pack of Hula Hoops, left with Grey Lantern on CD for €1.50.

Will be almost 12 years since original launch by the time it comes out!

My most played single player game ever, but dunno if I'll be able to tackle the DLC due to being burned out on the game by the time the PS5 version showed up (plus they changed stats, so my Death March build no longer worked).

Terrible title, very decent album.

Yeah, doesn't exactly roll of the tongue does it, waiting on my cd, going old school on this one and avoiding listening online.

Mostly Ween for me today, and "Pure Guava" in particular.

The fact they can write records as ridiculous as that or "The Pod", and then pull out a song as sombre and genuinely spinechilling as this is a testament to why they're so good:

That last line is incredible.

I'l give it a go at some point.

For the Miles Davis fans - the Birth Of The Cool documentary is on BBC Four at 9:05 tomorrow night.

Yeah, I always wrote them off bar that "Wide Open Space" song but my ex wife really liked them and I gave that album a go on that basis. very pleasantly surprised. Not the shite britpop I'd written them off as at all.

"Being A Girl" is also a banger, hearing the full version rather than the single edit for the first time was quite a surprise

Yeah, while I enjoyed Belfast, it definitely wasn't the best show they've done here.

Kicked off well, but somewhere just past the mid point it started to slide and by the end i was bored and glad for it to be over. We did get a new song which was cool and i'm looking forward to hearing it on the new album, but it was after that point in the set that they lost momentum. Would have loved to have fortunate son or red alert for a bit of energy in the last half.

I'd say Limerick will be killer though, that end of week vibe.
