The off topic thread #2

I don't mind it, sounds like a Arcade Fire song.

But is it an Album track?

Seems like it's a colab with Mavis Staples recordered a while ago, a protest song with the proceeds going to American civil liberties union.

You're probably right in that it's just a one-off anti-trump song. Still, didn't do anything for me and I'm hoping the new album produces much better work.

I hope Fed wins the Aussie Open. One last Slam before he retires would be awesome. It's wide open.

The womens draw is again hilarious where if you're not Serena Williams, anyone can pretty much beat anyone at any time.

Arctic Monkeys were fantastic. Saw them after their first album and they were a tad timid but after their most recent, their stage presence had morphed into something amazing.

Muse, RATM were great as were Kasabian.

Frightened Rabbit, the National, Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens are 100% up there as the best I've seen along with Radiohead.

Justin Timberlake put on a great show too.

 

[jd2010]

Arctic monkeys and kasabian the best in ideally gigs I've been to. Rockwerchter in Belgium the best festival; Bloc Part, Ben Howard, Tame Impala, Two Cinema Club, Phoenix and Jake Bugg the highlights that come to mind (what very little I have left of it)

they are going to saturate the market aren't they. George Lucas is such a cvunt.

 

[Cruyff14]

Fleetwood Mac were ****ing class too.

You say that like you weren't aware VIII was coming out this year.

 

[SM]

Though I do agree that marketing it as Star Wars: The Last Jedi instead of Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is stupid.

i don't follow it that closely mate.

OK haha the trilogy movies are coming out every two years.

just shits me that we had to wait for decades, then they put out a whole bunch of shite and now they are pumping them all out at once.

What do you mean? 4, 5, 6 came out within 3 years of each other, 1, 2, 3 3 years of each other, now 7, 8, 9. 8 was always going to come out close to 7.

And here come the pages of Star Trek.....

i mean the gap between the first 3 and the second 3 was decades and the second 3 were shite. kinda spoiled the series for me tbh

Agreed, the second lot of movies have hugely reduced my enthusiasm for the whole franchise. Still love the originals but can't find myself getting excited over these new ones unfortunately.

I think you mean there was a three year gap between each of the originals and then prequels?

Amazingly, episode 8 was actually first scheduled for this May. Before they pushed it back to December.

That's what I meant yeah, so having 2 years between this trilogy is ok.

And let me say, may The Force be with you!

Do you even know who I am?

I think I do. Weren't you one of the little rascals?

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

All the Star Wars movies are good IMO.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

I'm so Star Warred out.

Did you like Rogue One?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Weird al, Gojira, Masterdoon, Baroness, The ocean, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Foo Fighters, The heavy were all good for me.

Cookie you are legend, Sabbath and Maiden I didn't think such wise sages frequented the BF soccer board. When rock music ruled the world twas a magical time. This is one of the best songs ever written

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Did you like Rogue One?

Not yet SM.

Are you still on a SW tip?
