"For Hüsker Dü, headlining First Avenue was significant considering that the band’s first full-length had been recorded in the venue’s smaller room, 7th St Entry. It’s also worth keeping in mind that the recording is the band playing its 2nd hour-long set of the night, this one totaling 23 songs."
Some Kind of Fun: Hüsker Dü’s Generational Blues
The miracle year and miracle band that shaped the sound of underground music to come.

Ongetwijfeld, ja! Toen wij vroeger als kind op 6 december opstonden, was er wel speelgoed en chocolade maar het enige dat écht telde waren die smakeloze hompjes blubber. Zonder die ranzige suikerellende hoefde die hele Sintenboetiek niet voor ons!

Hoe BNP Paribas bewust het wrede regime van een Soedanese dictator bleef steunen en daar nu miljoenen voor moet betalen
Volgens een jury in de VS is BNP Paribas medeplichtig aan wreedheden onder dictator Omar al-Bashir. Drie Soedanezen werden gemarteld, of zagen hun familie vermoord en werden seksueel misbruikt. BNP bleef het regime bewust financieren.
