Every other Glastonbury band: We need confetti, fireworks and to say "glastonburrrryyyy" at least ten times during the set
The Cure: Lets just play songs from our incomparable back catalogue

@MickPuck This is a take I 100% agree with! Suffragette is peak rock and roll. It Ain't Easy, slightly overlooked gem. Five Years is some opener. Unreal album!

🚨 Jürgen Klopp has launched a scathing attack on the cooling breaks being used during this World Cup. 👊
"Football is being held hostage by executives sitting in air-conditioned offices.
These breaks are being presented as a shield for player welfare, a noble weapon against the heat. In reality, they are nothing more than a golden cage built for sponsors.
When I saw players standing around during cooling breaks while television timeouts dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn't help but ask myself: who is the World Cup really serving?
The supporters? The players? Or the advertisers?
A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we are building dams in the middle of it so commercials can be shown.
It's dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football used to be the main event, but it now risks becoming background music for an advertising show."
He didn't hold back. 👏👏
@RKELLAS Going to show some love for No Leaf Clover, an incredible song and one of their best imo. Maybe not recognised as much as their other classics as it's not on a studio album.
Also: Battery, Blackened and The Unforgiven. 🤘
🗣️ “As an Irishman, he should be absolutely ashamed.”
Kneecap rapper Mo Chara has criticised the Taoiseach’s planned St Patrick’s Day visit to the White House to meet Donald Trump.
It comes after judges ruled Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh will not face a new terror trial.

if you have actually seen a video of a fox hunt, to the very, unbelievably bloody/savage ending, you will be stricken with a kind of existential horror; not just that the lone fox is "hounded" until it is exhausted, & not just that it is torn to pieces, but the involvement of the human beings in the savagery is repulsive. seeing fox hunt videos in the UK, it wasn't such a stretch to interpret the "hounding" of the helpless animal as an emblem of British imperialism. so too the Irish were hunted down, slaughtered by British soldiers. so too-- well, fill in the blank.
@TheAnfieldWrap Bring him. The priority is to win the game and if Salah helps achieve that objective, he should be on the plane. Deal with everything else afterwards, in-house.
some books you are meant to buy and have sit on your shelf until the version of you who is meant to read it is born. i’ll always support buying an insane amount of books.
@DistanceCovered For the last 10/15 minutes we were consistently attacking and probing, and playing with urgency and some aggression. With a bit of luck maybe we could have snuck a goal. But why not do it for more of the game? We should be winning these games by 2, 3 goals. I can't remember...
@Melb0urne__82 @PopBase While I'm happy Connolly won, the presidency is largely a ceremonial position. It has little actual power. Ireland is still very much a country for the rich with a housing crisis that is among the worst in europe. Don't move here (unless you're wealthy).
People criticising Neil Young at Glastonbury: he plays loose rock n roll in all its ragged glory, like it's supposed to sound. People's ears have gotten too used to click tracks and autotune. Anything that is less than perfect now is seen as crap.
Just enjoy a great songwriter
