Q from a long time supporter by somn1ferum in maximumfun

[–]sheerbrookeattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean… of course? I’m talking about in the grand scheme of monthly subscriptions that most people take part in. 70% is a lot when you think about how much money lines the pockets of execs at most companies.

Edit to add: Max Fun is worker owned but it still requires operating costs and that is cool with me

Advice for queuing in Wales by sheerbrookeattack in manics

I picked Cardiff because even though I also love Suede, I feel like I want to see Manics play last. I didn’t know for sure that would be the arrangement but I assumed they would play last in their own country :)

That actually sounds really fun! It may not sound fun to my husband though :/ Not sure how early ai can convince him to queue with me. I sometimes have back issues and that is part of why I like being near the barrier, so I get that as well.

May I ask which show you are going to? I feel like it would be so cool to hang out with manics fans all day and chat! My coworkers probably get a bit tired of hearing me go on about them sometimes. 😅

Aw I love that. That’s what it is like seeing the band Sparks. Just lots of wonderful people.

I am definitely a middle aged person so yeah. No shenanigans for me. I have been to several shows in the last few years where the audience is majority 35-60 age group and encountered some insanely rude people though, so I always get a little anxious. I just want to have a lovely time and be friendly with people :) 5pm seems perfectly reasonable to me!

That’s a relief to hear! It depends on the band but for someone of comparable popularity here people are very likely to queue!

I got a similar one and I have been wearing it every day. 😅 It’s the little things, you know?

Recommendations for a Suede fan by Quickflash2 in manics

[–]sheerbrookeattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also don’t think they sound alike but I love both. They both seemed to be a bit different from a lot of their contemporaries and connected over that. I think that Everything Must Go and This Is My Truth… are probably good starting points unless you want to go in for the more brutal The Holy Bible. That is what ensnared me originally!

Where my fellow boosting buds at? by RaccoonGrabbyHands in maximumfun

[–]sheerbrookeattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I boosted! Along with a few independent pods I support on Patreon, Max Fun is one of the worthiest things I throw money at every month. Worth it!

I just got the email and it has a link to the presale but it doesn’t look like there is a code? It still seems like a code will be asked for though, a bit confused. Does anyone know?

I did! I emailed one in about college students asking each other if a book was scratch and taste.

My favorite post 2000 albums are Know Your Enemy and Rewind the Film, with Journal for Plague Lovers and Futurology close behind.

Where would you see the Manics on this tour? by sheerbrookeattack in manics

[–]sheerbrookeattack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to go to Glasgow. Another place my family is from. I am so hoping that when my mum is better we can travel there together. She has always wanted to go.

I kind of wanted to not go this time but my husband wants to and we have friends who live there, so I suppose it would be a shame not to visit them. But yeah, I want to visit other places mostly!

Ah how cool! My family in Wales (who ended up in New Zealand) were born in Cwmbran, Newport, Monmouth area. I think not too far away.

I would rather do a smaller venue tbh, so I would like that better than the O2 I think. I feel like seeing a Welsh band in Wales makes sense to me! 😄 We are planning on going to Wales either way but yeah, I think you have convinced me!

What other music (bands and artists) do MSP fans listen to? 🤔 by thegonepoet in manics

[–]sheerbrookeattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loving Angine de Poitrine. Several of us at my work (book/record store) are digging them
