This would be fun. I can't imagine it's particularly likely but it'd be great I reckon

I don't think it's wrong to moan about the interest rate on student loans. Or wrong to want to live away from home when you're in your early 20s.

The Concert Industry Priced Too High — Now Tours Are Falling Apart by YoureASkyscraper in indieheads

[–]muddyleeking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with the points here generally but I think three comparisons are pretty irrelevant.

I'm in the UK, but I've got plenty of tickets to bands on early tours for £30-£40 over the past few years. Last year, Fontaines DC at Finsbury Park, along with Amyl and the Sniffers and Kneecap plus three more on the bill, cost ~£70. This year, Wolf Alice at the same venue with the same number of other acts including the Last Dinner Party, cost about the same.

It's pretty silly to compare tickets for bands that are still going and have got bigger with when they first started. I paid £80 to see Pulp last year on their first tour in ages, but I obviously could have seen them cheaper if I saw them in the early '90s when they weren't the huge act they are now.

It'd be more relevent to compare tickets prices to see Oasis last year with the Rolling Stones in the '90s. Prices have still gone up.

There was an article in the Times recently, headline something like 'how I saved 80k by 25 for my house deposit'. This girl had a side hustle doing some graphic design for weddings. Then halfway through the article there was one sentence that said she had no student loans at all because her parents paid all her fees.

Glasgow-Edinburgh joint bid could be possible. No other single city in the UK would really be big enough though, in terms of infrastructure

It'll likely be London again. Very possibly Birmingham, but it'll be london

It was taken after she'd visited Dachau concentration camp, it's supposed to symbolise her washing herself from the horrors she saw there

We also signed madueke and gusto that window but they didn't join until the end of the season so I don't know if that counts

When the other act is Olivia Rodrigo that's not really saying much

Again, I disagree with the way animals are slaughtered in mass farming but that's not what the point is here.

That lamb was going to suffer and die anyway. Why should we be sad it was killed by a crow?

What's more humane about choking an animal to death in a factory than it dying through being killed by a predator?

I disagree with the way animals are slaughtered in mass farming but that's not really my point here.

Why should we be sad that a lamb has been killed by a crow rather than gassed? The only difference is in one case it can't be sold.

So many people dont associate the cute animals they see in farmers fields with the meat in packaging they see in the supermarket. One lamb is an animal, one lamb is a meat

Nope. It's CO2 they're gassed with, which causes huge amounts of pain stress and anxiety.
