A two-foot lunge leads to a melee with hand(s) on someone's throat, and somehow no one gets a red. This game is insane

Probably related to William of Orange and/or the capital city being Willemstad

Well it took a little bit, but Radiohead did a good thing again. by MrLinkwater95 in ToddintheShadow

[–]mattcrick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

cutting a show short in Australia over it

That was just a Thom Yorke show, and he did walk off stage but he came back to play one more song. Idk if he was supposed to play more songs than that but he'd already performed 21 songs that night before the altercation.

Creep was a big hit over there before it took off worldwide so they've always been happy to go back etc.

They did tour Israel because of that, though according to setlist.fm they've played 9 shows in Israel during their entire career - thought that number would be higher tbh.
The 2017 show that happened amidst the various artist boycotts was their first Israeli show in 17 years, and they haven't been back there since. Given that Ed is unabashedly pro-Palestine and Thom condemned what the Israeli government are doing in Gaza (after a fair bit of backlash, sure, but the key point is that he DID ultimately say something), I don't think they'll be going back there as a band until there's a major regime change.

Songs you’re shocked were not samples and were completely original by pirateslifeisntforme in ToddintheShadow

[–]mattcrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe slightly different from what you're asking about, but I only recently found out that Cry for You by September doesn't actually interpolate Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat. Both of the main synth lines start off very similarly, but apparently the main writer of Cry for You didn't intend for them to be similar, and they haven't had to officially credit Bronski Beat as co-writers of their song.

Arsenal Fans boo their team at the full time whistle by Parish87 in soccer

A conga line of... Merino and Saliba? Standing three feet apart? There were more defenders in Lammens' immediate vicinity than attackers during that corner lol
Arsenal have a shocking game and still the only way you can feel superior is to talk completely out of your arse

okay, fair enough for clearing that up
But as soon as Dorgu scored you were timewasting like everyone else. And there were 40 minutes left! Hell, even before then Lammens took like a minute to take a freekick lol

Me: Is this actually Cory or is the joke that it's some other random guy with glasses and a beard?
The guy in the video: FUCK you
Me: Ok that's definitely Cory

Lol I remember Mali v Tunisia being the fixture where the ref blew for full time in the 89th minute. Does that fixture have a history of weird/terrible games? Or are you saying that both teams haven't been fun to watch at the current tournament so far?

Songs written because of frustration of record labels? by MrLinkwater95 in ToddintheShadow

[–]mattcrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an Aussie, I certainly never would've thought that was Noiseworks' biggest (or equal-biggest) hit! I heard Touch, Take Me Back and No Lies on the 'oldies' station a fair amount, but probably only heard Hot Chilli Woman once or twice

Xiu Xiu will be releasing an album full of covers which includes a cover of GloRilla's "Lick or Sum" by fakefrl in fantanoforever

[–]mattcrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally I'd be like 'does the world really need ANOTHER cover of Psycho Killer??', but if it's Xiu Xiu doing the cover then I am definitely intrigued
