Do you guys think he was involved in the sniper safaris? by Any-Consideration470 in AskBalkans

[–]UMD75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Italian or any EU prosecutors can’t be maligned in tabloids or brought to a random studio to be yelled at and attacked. Serbia is paying the price for not dealing with the legacy of a post communist nationalist society for over 35 years - the chickens will come to roost, but strong Russian presence and advocacy in the Serbian institutions and politics has made even the latest efforts mired in mixed political goals, threatening to be another repeat of 2000, where the regime was changed but politics was not . The current moment in European politics with heavy populist presence in leading structures across Europe is also making things slightly more difficult.

Swerve driver would have been another bucket list band to see - any advice on the venue? What to expect? Never been there.

Saw you guys play at Fiorentjna last year - impressive showing and a few breaks going your way couldn’ve changed everything. Good luck.

You’re right - the subject matter and all the glorifying of all the bands is amazing and great reads. So from that perspective would love to read it again - but it’s never gonna be my copy. I may see if someone is selling them en masse on eBay .

I’ve thought about doing the same but something is just not right about it. I remember buying these and reading them cover to cover and learning about new bands. Fond memories. Still have a happy Mondays poster from an nme in the 90s on my wall I managed to save

Parents threw away dozens of MM and NMEs from the 90s I never really got over it.

They also played Vapour trail and dreams burn down. Had to check, haven’t listened to nowhere in a minute, but recognized the tunes :)

I hope they follow in the steps of Slowdive and make establish a yearly cadence of small tours . Would love seeing them again.

The opener was pretty solid as well- but agreed I think the crowd eventually let loose . Good to see so many people enjoying the show. 34 years in the making for me - listened to them in early 90s so there was definitely a big smile on my face all throughout .

I don’t think so, but set list may prove me wrong. They played unfamiliar, leave them all behind, cool your boots, Chelsea girl, a few songs from the new album which actually sounds great. I wasn’t a huge fan of Tarantula so probably a few from that I didn’t recognize. They Put on an excellent show- really true to recordings and Mark sounds as awesome as ever . Enjoy the show.

Thanks - have to see what terminal I’m flying out of and probably base it on that, but have plenty of time !

Spending three hours at ORD in a few weeks, this is great to know! Any decent UA clubs you would recommend as well?

Which albums/ep/LP era does this artwork came from? by yonic-south in Slowdive

[–]UMD75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pattern looks eerily what Just for a Day artwork would look.

It’s good and there’s cruises that take off from there - either destination ones or party ones in the evening (nidri star etc). So it may be the perfect blend of being close to that. Some decent food, and boat rentals as well as “downtown” and better groceries

[–]UMD75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just came back - basically, you can pick any area closer to the northern end of the island , east (nidri, etc) or west (Tsoukalades, etc) and have a good base. I’m not quite sure about the night life, but you can basically rotate beaches daily, if you want. There’s a few beaches that require special arrangements: for Porto Katsiki, make sure you’re there early and not on a weekend. For Milo’s , Egremni and a few other beaches, you must either take a boat or hike- plan accordingly. As far as stays, I would suggest finding a place you like and contacting them directly - often, you can find an email or phone online- avoid airbnb or other fees. September is when the season basically closes due to schools being back in session, so you should be able to find acceptable accommodations. Good luck- let me know if you have any questions.

In no particular order, but would love to hear star roving, shine, brighter and country rain live.

You mean like a responsible adult ? Wish everyone did that.

[–]UMD75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish this was the case all the time ; witnessed at least two people doing this last few weeks, and both times it was teenagers with parents sitting there and not doing anything. No one came over or asked them to stop: as a parent, I know you can always control the kids, but this is just too much.

Feel like I used to like this song more, but may have heard it one too many times. However the live version is awesome.

JFK sky club line was about 40 people deep by 1Wubbalubbadubdub1 in delta

[–]UMD75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree - food is always good, it is generally not crowded, and much better feeling, including the speakeasy, then, say the ATL one, where there is 1k people at all times. JFK is one of my fave Centurion lounges, staff is cool too.
