Sad news about the passing of Gary "Mani" Mounfield - I saw him with "Mad For The Racket" in Whelan's Dublin in 2000 with Clem Burke Brian James & Wayne Kramer all of whom have since passed
I also witnessed a Stone Roses soundcheck at the Art college students' union in Belfast in February 1988

Nov. 18, 1925: The amount Americans spend on radio has soared in five years from $6 million to over $500 million, "a growth almost unparalleled in American history." Almost all this money is for sets, tubes and other hardware, as advertising is in its infancy.

Do you live in the Charlotte area? Know someone who does? One of the most important things you can do is get a whistle & tell your family & friends & neighbors to do the same. If people blow their whistle when they see CBP that takes away CBP’s ability to surprise vulnerable people.

my kid is attending this school - but he says he was on the other end of the campus when this happened today
We've had a couple of false reports over the years due to some kid's making social media threats, but today is the first time there has been an actual active shooter at my kid's school. Sounds more like street crime or a personal beef than a mass shooting situation, but still. Fuck this all of shit!
Shooting at Laney College in Oakland
A shooting occurred at Laney College in Oakland Thursday, authorities confirmed.
