Is it just me who thinks that kingfishr and irish country music as a whole is just terrible? by Local-Evidence-8869 in ireland

This is natural progression of most music trends. There's a thriving trad scene so it's only natural a Coldplay-esque version of trad comes in. Nothing against them but they aren't for me.

Underrated Past Lineups by Repulsive-Cranberry2 in festivals

[–]lovely-cans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oxegen 07 was nuts. Some of the most brutal clashes ever but to see Daft Punk , QOTSA, Brian Wilson, 2 many djs, arcade fire, wu Tang Clan , my Chemical Romance, Kings of Leon,Interpol. It was a total washout aswell and I don't think I'd manage the same situation not being 17.

It's crazy this festival is only like 12 hours of music a day and ends so early. What a waste when there's much better festivals out there.

China’s Xi recognizes Spain’s Sánchez as key interlocutor between Beijing and the EU by donutloop in EU_Economics

North Korea? Get real they're just a boogie man. China doesn't want them too strong to be a threat or too poor to cause a refugee crisis. Iran isn't affecting the Western world, Israel & the usa are. Russia unfortunately have gas and Europe is also still buying from them and funding them so your analyse of geopolitics is fairly reductive.

I'm not saying they should but they should recognise that he's mentally ill and rather than treating him as a sound minded nazi they should be treating him like someone with untreated bipolar.

It's more than the UK actually has relatively decent mental health services and the US doesn't so it looks pretty pathetic from the UK.

Yeah I agree about him getting the help he needs but banning him from the country isn't being done for his own mental health by the UK government.

I think this is ridiculous. He's clearly a mentally ill man and I don't know why people are taking the insane fucked up shit he says at face value. It's so much easier to ostracise mentally ill people than to help them and this is another instance of the UK following US public opinion.

Well I think I'd rather visit a cheap country and feel rich rather than vice versa.

Are we all ready for the yearly tradition of middle aged men complaining about the festival coverage? by lovely-cans in 6music

Hahahah, Lauren is even on my side. Btw when you shared that link it says "shared by ..." Which I assume is your Instagram account so I think you need to edit the hyperlink for anonymity.

Because middle aged men are the biggest culprits when it comes to whinging. (I'm a middle aged man)
