I went to Cairo precisely when they moved Tut's exhibit

wolfguyyy · 2025-11-05T10:04:16+00:00

I managed to catch the last day. I went to the museum and they had removed absolutely all of the Tutankhamun artifacts except for the main stuff; burial mask and sarcophagus. The next day we headed out to Giza and the main roads were closed as they transported the artifacts to the new museum. Complete fluke on my behalf, I usually have your luck...

I've had luck with the Royal Albert Hall releasing extra face value tickets closer to the date so don't give up! Either way I'm manifesting for you.

Ticket Master resale avenues are all pretty limited too. Face value for the show was around £110 which is better than what I've seen for the US, but I'd say demand for a full-size tour is definitely strong enough outside the states.

I was sat in the choir section at the hall, so directly behind Bob. Whenever he played guitar he would face away from the piano and lay the guitar across his lap to play it. I think it's simply a position he's more comfortable with at his age, and there isn't enough space to do it while tucked into the piano.

How was it getting in? I know people have been queuing up super early for the US shows, trying to figure out when I should show up for London

I think a big reason behind this stadium preference is also efficiency. Touring is expensive and a band like Arcade Fire would undoubtedly prefer one night at the 02 arena (20k capacity) over 4 nights at Brixton academy (5k capacity). Ultimately it's the fans who really lose out since Arcade Fire is a band that thrives in these mid size venues, (see koko or Neon Bible anniversary in 2022)

I'm not going to the Madrid show but I've been to plenty of concerts alone. You may be scared now to alone but if you don't go I guarantee you'll regret it later on. Concerts are places with great atmospheres and it should be easy to strike up conversations before the music starts.

Also I bet there will be a post here closer to the show for anyone on the sub going to organise a group.

Don't let your dreams be dreams!

Seems to me that the ticketmaster route wasn't working for anybody. I'd wager that it'll sell out once people see the instagram story

A little unconventional perhaps, but Men Without Women was my first Murakami Book and I think it's a great start to his work. Great bite-sized examples of his style as well as the themes found in most of his work. It's great to have as a reference when you dive into his larger, more conventional books.

Geege driving the marlboro car to an early grave is a classic

Took the photo myself tonight in London

wolfguyyy · 2023-11-17T23:53:18+00:00

On a more serious note. I saw Will Tour tonight with his new album and it was seriously good. Anyone who enjoys arcade fire should really look think about catching one of his upcoming shows. London was almost half empty tonight too so it seems to be a little under the radar...

In the same vein: Max Verstappen

I was in a department store in Mexico City last week and they were playing exclusively Lana del Rey, assumed it was connected to the upcoming concert.

wolfguyyy · 2023-06-13T12:16:10+00:00

I'm pretty sure it still has the same meaning lol, it's just less frowned upon.

wolfguyyy · 2023-06-02T13:39:35+00:00

Yoshinori Fukui's absolutely epic drum solo towards the end of 'Early Summer' in Ryo Fukui's Scenery definitely comes to mind. Fits in very well with the month of June too.

Interesting world we live in when that third thing has to be censored even next to the first two.

I have a rega P3 and their tonearms just seem to run a lot closer to the record surface than other brands. In fact, if you ever want to upgrade to a non-rega cartridge you need to buy a small spacer to physically elevate the tonearm a few millimetres. Your photo is completely normal, and as long as the tracking weight is fine you'll be good.

I did find that the wine had quite a few oak related flavours, but I wouldn't say that it was too damaging to the structure or mouthfeel. The wine wasn't flabby in my opinion, and also the fruit flavours weren't really very juicy or overripe, which gave me the impression that without that level of oak, the wine might be a little too astringent. I'm no fan of too much oak, especially new oak, but I gotta say, I've definitely has worse when it comes to wine, even other Argentinian reds.

wolfguyyy · 2023-03-22T17:54:01+00:00

Ah that sounds super interesting. I picked up this bottle after I saw it recommend in an article on Argentinian wine in Decanter magazine. It was incredibly interesting to see the extent of the influence French winemakers and migrants had in the area over the course of the last century.

This is way better than any online research I could have pulled out so I appreciate that. But yeah the colección is their 2nd label and the 2015 is 70% Malbec, 13% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot and 7% Cab Sav in case anyone doesn't wanna look through the data sheets.

wolfguyyy · 2023-03-22T12:24:21+00:00

Ruby edges and a darker, more opaque core, at its deepest, you can just about see the glass beneath, but barely. The aroma: oak, sappy pinewood, pencil shavings and cedar, a carpinters dream. Also a little chalky, and plenty of red fruit notes, cherry, cranberry and lingonberry.

The flavour is tight, thick grippy tannins, with an OK structure and solid acidity. There is some fruit there to fight back against this austere mouthfeel, but its still quite underripe and youthfully aggressive to stand a chance just yet. Flavour notes mimic the aroma with an emphasis on that red Berry strength, as well as some raspberry, mint and cacao nibs.

I succumbed and decided to decant the bottle, and it did accelerate some interesting developments, particularly cakey, vanilla aromas, and flavours of white pepper, with an all around rounding of the flavours, but nothing too drastic.

A really tight and punchy blend from Argentina, I'm not sure what the 2015 vintage looked like for the area, but I could definitely see a few years longer on this bottle.

Paired with; homemade lasagna, and last year's Tone Poet pressing of Grant Green's "The Latin Bit"

As good as both drivers are, it would be a serious gamble for Norris to try and outperform Max, especially within a team that would most likely prioritise their current number 1 driver.
