Introduce yourself by 3 acts you've NOT seen (but want/ed to):
Tom Waits
Tindersticks
Nirvana
(Bonus: Daniel Johnson)
Tom Waits played Dublin. Broke my heart by charging over a hundred quid to see him in the "Rat Cellar" - a fucking big top, with over 5,000 seats. This was mid 00's?

This may have passed the #speirgorm by, but the 3 singers of K-Pop Demon Hunters performed Golden at yesterday's Macy's Thanksgiving parade.
It was amazing, and my 7 year old was busting moves to it this morning.
Those harmonies though... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That first season was a banger.
The second, not so much.
I didnt watch anything past the second.

The erasure of the Heroes fandom thanks to the later seasons is so bad I saw a clickbait youtube title calling it a series "you've never seen".
Look, the show was MASSIVE (for a few months), everyone saw it and then collectively forgot it.

I'm in an album club, like a book club but for records. I got to pick the topic this month: music you got into after you read a review. And one of the most musically experienced members said he always kept his eye out for music that got widely divergent reviews—love and hate—they're usually the best

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

That second half from Arsenal was fucking sensational. As good as you could possibly hope to put in against a team as good as this.
Bossed it 100%. Madueke with his first goal, and then Martinelli, no less than we deserved. And Bayern offered NOTHING after the break.
Hello Europe, we're Arsenal
