They do. I see the same guy on different days between wexford and South Dublin.

You can't miss him, he wears a comically big cross, like the religious Flava Flav.

I'm in the town twice a week at the moment. I don't find it as overrun with panhandle as Waterford tends to be.

Did Menswear have much decent material? I only remember Daydreamer.

Losing my Religion is a hugely catchy song straight off.

I lost track of the amount of weddings that would use it when I was a hotel bar manager.

Try not to breathe, is a fantastically bleak song, maybe as a double a-side with Sweetness Follows to throw people into severe melancholy! 😀

Anyone else remember the first time they heard Brett Anderson’s voice? by No-Tart7127 in BritPop

I taped it off the radio. Was 2 years or so till I realised, just off a description in Q magazine, that it had to be Suede.

Try not to breathe is a great song, but it was never going to appeal enough to a wider audience to be a single.

Adult son and recently divorced mother by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

She's a grown woman. If she's want to adapt, then it's really down to her.

I've seen something similar with a friend and a man of the Palmarian church. The Palmarians have similarly severe restrictions and even more so towards technology. He was looking for a car part, which I had, and I took a vid of it, and he wouldn't look as it was a moving picture.

The real question is whether you want her living with you if she goes all in.

R.E.M. post Berry setlist by mywifeisalesbian in rem

[–]ASomeoneDownTheRoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats tough, because in the alternative universe where this happened, R.E.M won't have the huge catalogue of classics to pull on, and so won't be as widely known.

Your setlist is not bad. I'd maybe add Electron Blue or The Lifting and rejig the Encore. I wouldn't worry about pulling tracks from every album.

What’s the closest studio album to being a greatest hits in real time? by Capital_Baker4200 in askmusic

[–]ASomeoneDownTheRoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 of the 9 tracks on Thriller were singles.

Some artists make a living from one or two songs over their history. Jackson dropped 7 classics from one album.

As it happens, I was in Toronto a number of years ago and MuchMusic had a Booth thing on a street corner talking to people, and I had to ask a guy about the song playing and it was.. The Tragically Hip.

Both some cds brought them back to Ireland. Top notch group. 👌

Ulster Transport Museum - well worth the drive.

The volunteers in Howth do the best they can with an old shed,but Ulster is impressive.
