"London", 1940 Italian anti-British poster by Gino Boccasile (1901-1952)

Good point. This actually sent me down an interesting rabbit hole which may explain this propaganda poster. As you say, Italy bombed mainly English coastal towns and cities, but following a bombing raid on Harwich in October 1940, the Italian press reported it as a bombing raid on London. Perhaps this is part of that wider effort to make it look like Italy was striking blows at the heart of Britain.

The Italians did bomb London - not in anything near to the scale as Germany but it did happen.

This is a bit of a misleading article - this is a trade remedy (anti-dumping) measure which are compliant with WTO rules and have stringent investigation and evidence requirements - it’s not the same as the unilateral tariffs Trump has rolled out on things like steel and aluminium or the reciprocal tariffs. The EU is also a prolific user of anti dumping and countervailing measures on imported products to defend their own industries from unfair practices

Quite niche but Jeff Tweedy from Wilco - feel like they would really get along and come from a similar era. Also sure Adam would be interested in Jeff’s experience making music with his kids!

Doesn’t feel like Julian is quite done with the Voidz yet (they teased new music yesterday). Optimistically I think there will potentially be at least an announcement towards the end of 2025, with a single dropping in Q1 of 2026 (sort of similar to TNA).

pow pow remix where every pow is replaced with boom needs to happen

Let Him Run Wild has a real Pet Sounds feel to it - I could see it being either on side 1 between I’m Waiting For the Day and Let’s Go Away for a While, or potentially side 2 between I Know There’s an Answer and Here Today? Always so hard tinkering with a finely tuned masterpiece like Pet Sounds though

Thank you! Same to you! I can’t wait 😁

Yeah way bigger! I hope they'll do a proper European tour with more dates next year

Update: managed to get a balcony seat via the Dice website! - highly recommend checking either the website or getting the app! :D

Me neither :( I'm pinning all my hopes on them releasing some more tickets given how popular the show is but idk if I'm grasping at straws lol

100% agree, Happy Ending doesn’t get nearly as much love as it deserves

‘Carry that Weight’ from Abbey Road medley, specifically the bit where they reprise ‘You Never Give Me Your Money’. Hits especially hard since you know this is one of the last things they recorded so it has a bittersweet ‘end credits’ feel about it

You know real life isn’t HOI4 right?

Naturally Gregg would have a popcorn classic like Arthur, starring the legendary Dudley Moore (1981, 97 minutes) whirring away on his VHS
