Funny to see people on here respond to the pope's death by sagely denouncing the catholic church to their bluesky mutuals as if it's a risky, tough stance. "I'm not buying the woke pope stuff" Great work, Jello Biafra. What next, a truth bomb about where your parents Actually go during peekaboo?

First non-Dublin band I saw live. McGonagles, c.1991. I remember my dad being absolutely puzzled that they would name themselves after a showroom on Dorset Street. Whipping Boy opened for them. Still vividly recall walking home in the rain, dazed by the beautiful noise.
The list of bands I’ve overheard in cafes and pubs and thought, Why are you playing Kitchens Of Distiction?
1. Interpol
2. The National
It’s a shame that Kitchens Of Distiction had such a shit name as I think Millennials would have liked them.
