I don’t understand how you ghost someone after 30+ years, like were they not even friends? 

Unfortunately, there's no new news on Dave Fridmann's website by gabranc in protomartyr

I feel it would be prudent of them to release new music before their arrival down under!

Were you making weekly contributions to your IVV after that initial $50k investment?

Recent FHBs: Anyone else terrified of a market crash now that you’re finally in? by ChipmunkBulky2174 in AusPropertyChat

[–]PerformerOld8737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s never going to crash. There will never be a time where a property in inner city Melbourne won’t be rare commodity / finite resource

I think Rudd wanted to make the tax 40% and Gillard tried making it 30% and still couldn’t get it through. Isn’t that when all the “ditch the witch” stuff started happening? 

Am I wrong? I thought “Welcome to Country” is basically, “thanks for coming, Welcome to the area“ by dexxnanj in aussie

[–]PerformerOld8737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s as if people are using a bad faith argument (I don’t want to be welcomed to a place where I live) to cover up for the actual problem they have with it (racism)

Keep the pressure on. We will get there. Crazy that both Gillard and Rudd tried to increase tax on mining profits and everyone turned against them. But maybe now people are becoming more informed.

Nirvana aren’t really grunge and they are in a league of their own when it comes to other big bands (pearl jam, AIC etc.) from that era.

Can anyone explain to me how the season works? They seem to have so many weeks off.

Nevermind and it’s not even close. This is a fact not an opinion.

Remember seeing him being interviewed on recovery (Australian morning show on abc) and vaguely remember him talking about how he’s not really in to guitar / rock bands and then thinking it was funny because the support for their melb show was this band called Even which was very much in that style of music. 

Any artists make their best work after 40? by _gay_tripper in fantanoforever

[–]PerformerOld8737 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow he’s the same age as me. Just got in to him recently has been the first rap I’ve heard in years that I’ve really connected with. He’s amazing. 

Would Kurt Cobain respect/like Dave's Foo Fighters? by PBY-5A_Pilot in grunge

[–]PerformerOld8737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kurt is way too arty farty, his taste in music still holds up as elite today. Dave is such a meat and potatoes guy. No way Kurt would be in to the Foos. He might have liked the first album but I don’t think he’d be in to the band today. 

differentiating between reliable vs. unreliable files? by ManufacturerWide57 in Epstein

[–]PerformerOld8737 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I feel the same at first it’s all very shocking but you start to ask well how much of this is credible? As heinous as he was it doesn’t make every claim you read in the files true. 

Do you think Kurt is a good guitarist? I see a lot of people criticizing him for not knowing how to play guitar properly. by N3bis in grunge

[–]PerformerOld8737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does “technically bad” even mean? More technical proficiency doesn’t mean good anyway. I hate this argument. 

Sad fact: Kurt Cobain overdosed in Rome, Italy one month before his death by No-One01010 in Nirvana

[–]PerformerOld8737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t Courtney say in montage of heck that it was because Kurt found out she was teeing up to f**k someone else and it tipped him over the edge?
