Saw Thalia Zedek last month in Paris, a very good gig indeed.

Saw him last year or the one before. Wasn't expecting much but it was a really enjoyable show.

A bunch of bands I like are coming through right about now: Had the pleasure of seeing Joe Jackson yesterday night, and am going to see Interpol + Car Seat Headrest today. Saw Malkmus in January, as well. Not quite sure who else I can get tickets to see but I'm definitely going to see The Beths, Jeff Tweedy, and Todd Rundgren

This is what I meant, thanks for clarifying. What he is accused of doing by his ex-wife should be immediately discounted by anyone who has known someone who got divorced. They're generally hideous.

(But @baystate I still laughed at the Lincoln comment.)

Feels like bragging but hey ho...I'm off on a meditteraneon cruise with Belle and Sebastian, Yo la Tengo, Teenage Fanclub and a host of others 😁 😁

Apologies, I'm not normally this spoilt. It's a once in a lifetime sort of trip really that I couldn't resist since B and S were my favourite band from the age of 17 to the point when it still mattered. I'll be sure to regale you with all my awkward fanboy encounters after the trip.

Wow, brag away! Just had a look, line up fantastic. Whole thing looks amazing. Very, very jealous indeed!

Yeah, it's a dream line up and you just know that B and S will be great hosts. Super exciting!

Not sure if the Buzzcocks will actually be playing though 🤡

I just looked up why. Gotta be honest here, the primary accusations show him to just be a controlling a-hole. (Not counting the underage accusation.) Most people who attain his level of success are the same way. I guarantee you the people who are as successful who are NOT like him is a very short list.

I guess that's why I refuse to go to a show which costs more than $15 to get in. Get to hear some really genuine people instead of just over-inflating some celeb's ego.

"Not counting the underage accusation"

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

To your point, many people high up may be similarly terrible, but that means they need to be held accountable, not that he doesn't need to be. And if we just say they all suck it blurs the distinction between bad behavior and terrible behavior, which is an important one.

That's an interesting philosophy. I don't go to any expensive concerts either, but mainly because I don't have much extra money. :lol:

I hear ya, but I want to make a few distinctions...

It's horrible when someone treats you terribly, and it may feel worse when they are rich and famous because their power is intimidating. But i don't think the answer is a trial by media. Particularly for things like being a terrible boyfriend, mentor or date (as in Asiz Ansari's case). These behaviours need to be confronted personally not through the media. Trial by media is unfair and can cause massive distress and suffering.

Yes, the rich and powerful should be accountable for crimes and workplace misconduct (and clearly the main allegation against Adams is a crime) But the culture of shaming bad behaviour belongs in gossip magazines not the news. And those magazines belong in the bin if you ask me.

Just my thoughts and it's another one of those hot topics I guess. But I've got a mixture of feelings of sadness about the crime Adams is accused of and sympathy because I don't think the other allegations belong in the media.

Tough spot for me.

None of my peers are really into music, especially not the music I enjoy. I used to go to tons of concerts with my teens/young adult children. Between the three of them, at least one liked just about everything I liked, and they also turned me on to new music and were happy for me to go out with them.

Now, they're all working or in college out of state. Nobody left for me to go do concerts with.

Luckily I have a girlfriend who follow me to any concert

So far now plans to see any big shows. Paul McCartney is in town next month, but tickets for that are almost as much as my rent. Been to three smaller shows this year already and I will probably going to out a lot of those those this year. Saw Krisiun for 20 bucks in January...that was a deal.
