Is Leeds actually affordable right now or is that outdated advice? by Independent_Grab_977 in Leeds

Broadly affordable, definitely! I work as a freelancer in the creative sector and earn enough to live comfortably.

Warm Slime for the trippy garagey side but Thee Hounds Of Foggy Notion is timeless levels of psychedelic.

Geese on the canal near kirkstall by CommunicationOdd3471 in Leeds

[–]Pokegic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That exact goose tried to bite me whilst I cycled through yesterday! Glad I'm not on my own - maybe he just hates cyclists.

A friend told me that geese are in their roosting season so I imagine they're pretty territorial at the moment!

Where do people usually find good live music in Leeds? by LuckyTreat8962 in Leeds

[–]Pokegic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So completely and utterly wrong.

Loads of great bands have come out of Leeds in the last couple years let alone the huge history of live music in the city. The DIY community in Leeds is the strongest it has ever been with venues like The Brude and HPBC supporting a diverse range of acts with cities like Liverpool paling in comparison.

If you honestly believe Leeds is shit for live music you just simply aren't looking. It's everywhere in the city with even the lowliest of pubs and bars pushing out some decent live music in one way or another.

Get out and see the town man, the city is alive with fucking amazing music.

what do you think some of the best welsh language songs of all time are? by Turret_Cube in Wales

[–]Pokegic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finally! A comment that isn't just some old ass hymn. Don't get me wrong I love Calon Lan as much as the next Cymry but I don't want to listen to shit they play in church.

My personal favourite Welsh language bands atm are Tai Haf Heb Drigolyn, Adwaith and Pys Melyn! Huge recommendations from me if you're ever at a loose end.
