There’s a hole in the world. Feels like we should have known.
RIP Anthony Stewart Head. Our Giles, our teacher, our guide, our watcher, our friend.
The world is shining a little less bright today.

Panic! At The Disco, When We Were Young 2025
REVIEW: This was all just meant to be.
Panic! At The Disco, playing their first show in three years, whilst celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album, in the heart of the very town that inspired so much of its flair.
But from the get-go, it's clear that this is more than just a look back to the past. It is a recentering. A rebirth. A reminder of just why the band are, and always have been, the greatest show on Earth.
Act One is, as intended, 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' from front to back. Backed by strings and brass, and performed against a backdrop that's a gentleman's club on one minute and a casino floor the next, it's a show fitting for the skyline that surrounds it. 'Time To Dance' and 'Camisado' are chaotically vibrant, whilst the flamboyant cheekiness of 'But It's Better If You Do' has all in attendance losing all inhibitions.
Brendon himself is more free-spirited and fluid than he's been in years, goose-stepping across this circus floor, never missing a single beat and clearly completely taken aback by just how much this means to so many.
Act Two then takes this to a whole other level, pulling songs from the rest of the stacked Panic! repertoire fuelled on the excess and access this town is built on and giving them their moment on the strip. 'Death Of A Bachelor' is decadent, 'Vegas Lights' is bold and brash and 'Nine In The Afternoon' is beautifully bonkers; every facet of the band's tool belt allowed to shine. Even a run-through of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' feels apt in these circumstances.
And how do you round out something so fantastical? Well, you run through 'I Write Sins, Not Tragedies' for a second time, but with the addition of Spencer Smith on drums for the first time in over a decade.
It's a fittingly poignant end to an audacious, wonderfully indulgent and extraordinarily affirming spectacle, the sort that you want to lose yourself in again and again, and that perfectly sums up why Panic! have stood atop the scene and beyond for so long.
For one weekend only or the start of something, we are yet to see.
But one thing is for sure. We will always have Vegas.

@atensnut Yet, President Trump who was investigated, sued, threatened, shot, and almost got shot again can work 24/7 365 days a year and get no more than 4 hours of sleep a night moves mountains while worthless overpaid and underworked shitbags in Congress need their extended vacation. 🤬
@atensnut@SpeakerJohnson where can the average American get a part time job making $174k a year with tons of perks?! Asking for every hard working American who is forced to watch our government blow our money!!!
