'Some' years back, I went to a dirty rave 'in support of a free Tibet' (because as I'm sure you know already, the best way to fight for Tibet's right to self-determination in those days was to munch large quantities of ecstasy tablets and spend 16 hours throwing shapes in front of stolen road works lanterns and talking absolute bollocks to people with luminous mystical symbols drawn on their faces).


The flyers were printed and distributed.


If only someone had told the person responsible for them that 'Lama' only has on 'L'.

Mark E Smith from The Fall. Did anyone see his "performance" at Glastonbury? If you missed it, he was gurning his face off, looked comepletely out of it, pissed himself and sounded terrible. I don't get it, I've seen a documentary about The Fall and he comes across as a waster with no talent. His band members are amazing musicians but I just don't get why anyone would choose to listen to him. John Peel was wrong IMO, Mark E Smith is not a genius, he has no musical talent whatsoever. It's his band that do all the work and he takes all the credit. Unless I'm missing something. Maybe someone can enlighten me?

Having done both ... yes very different atmospheres to each other at the time and now. Dunno about Reading being 'Rock' - mix of rock/indie/grunge/world etc etc. Probably depends what bands you chose to see at the time.

All of the above. I'd add Jon Hopkins, belle and Sebastian, spiritualized and Todd Terje.

Last time I was at Reading (2007) we had a blast as there were loads of us there and some good bands / acts.


BUT on the last night the place went crazy. Gangs of pissed kids literally burning tents, sometimes with people still in them. Loads of stealing going on, it felt like the wild west once the final band had finished. I don't know that I'd be happy with my teenaged daughter going there, I think I'd let her go on the condition she left slightly early and missed that last night.

A few years ago I would have said Muse, but they seem to have turned into a stadium rock parody.


Last Shadow Puppets might be worth a watch. Beck, Editors, Chvrches. Band of Skulls are pretty rockin. Always loved Madness - and I think The Selecter are on one of the smaller stages too.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By Insuflo · Posted

      It does seem a common business strategy these days. River Island has just announced a similar restructuring: closing 33 shops and demanding that the landlords of a further 71 locations take a haircut.

      The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷

      GROOMING GANGS INQUIRY VOTE The full list of 364 Labour, Green, and Independent MPs who voted AGAINST holding an inquiry into the systematic rape of young British girls

      By Moovart · Posted

      An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.
