NEWS: Live Nation will end merch cuts and pay acts a $1,500 stipend per show at select venues.

This is a step in the right direction but *all* music venues need to end merch cuts and stop strangling the touring industry.

First British tourists of the summer season are here. Middle aged couple with a caravan that had a UKIP sticker in the window. Assumed I spoke English, asked for directions, I replied in French. The woman tutted, rolled her eyes and said,
"They don't even try to speak English"

Shower Food Review 41: Toast- I'm often in a rush in the morning so this was very convenient. I can preload the toaster the night before so I always have hot & fresh toast ready to go. And before you say something like "this is dangerous" no it's not, I used electrical tape. 8/10
