Is there a word or term for "I am simultaneously happy for your success and want to smack you in the mouth"? There must be some German phrase, they've got one for everything.

This post needs more respect.

Afraid I can't, I'm a vinyl junkie.

Aussie goalie, eh? What's his track record with a) junk food b) Nazi salutes c) cocaine d) supermodels and e) kneeing the jaws clean off of Germans?

If making money was that easy, I'd have at least £5 by now.

Timely thread at any rate, as my first pick-up for 2024 dropped today; Motherwell's premier (well, possibly only?) post-rock outfit A Sudden Burst Of Colour's new LP Galvanize Lovely stuff as per.

Mountain Caller are top notch and a great bunch to boot.

Ace, I've an iPod Classic purely dedicated to Ambient stuff, this'll be going on it. Big Ultimae Records and State Azure vibes, really digging it.

A serviceable gateway into better stuff (Dillinger, Botch, Deftones, Cave In etc.)

This shit is incredible, you got a Bandcamp or something?

Star Trek: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations
GarethRDR replied to Lichfield Dean's topic in Off Topic
There's some rough episodes early doors, but the Dominion War arc is Star Trek at it's absolute best, for my money. -
Slightly closer to home, am off to London for the Saturday portion of this: It's... a lot of very similar sounding stuff to be running a whole day with. Whilst I do love my crescendo-laden post-rock, I've a sneaky feeling even I might hit some fatigue by the end of it.

I normally struggle with the sludgier stuff, but this one's on my list at some point. Ummon was a jam.

Whelp, thanks to a long string of events stemming back to Covid, I've just had to buy tickets for the wife and I to Tokyo Police Club's farewell show in November. In Toronto.

It's the left nipple that counts?

"Uncaged" badge? Lion more detailed and facing left? Name at top? Gaslamp and circular badge represented? Lit AF slogan to pull in the youth demographic, fam? Year of formation merged with star to provide additional justification for star's existence? I'll take my consultancy money now please, Heck.

Neuhaus. From a system perspective... eh, I kinda get it, we'd be shifting out a pure destroyer for a passer/recycler with a bit of physicality. Folk throwing their weird-ass "Dendoncker was the worst player ever" takes about will absolutely need to get their expectations in check though, that cruciate knock a while back took a step out of Flo's mobility (and Farke's *shudder* reign of terror probably sapped a fair bit of confidence). From a pure pecking order standpoint, it'd be pretty much a straight swap with Donk. I say that as someone who likes him, don't get me wrong. I didn't get his name on the back of a shirt on my last trip over for no reason (natürlich, me getting player name on shirt = they'll be off later that season, without fail). His biggest issue right now is he can't break up play like Weigl and he doesn't have Koné's intensity up and down the pitch. It'd be a bit of a rehab job, make no mistake. If there's money to be thrown at 'Gladbach, I'd be getting on the Rocco Reitz train before it leaves the bahnhof.

Eh, it's largely overrated. I like at least the illusion of everyone involved having a good time, not sobbing their way to climax. God knows I get enough of that by myself. And don't get me started on their haphazard approach to mise en scène, pfft, Truffaut and Bazin would be spinning in their graves.

In terms of the sheer ratio of contribution to importance, I am making a case for Jan Bednarek. No, really, hear me out. The sum total of this man's career with us (excluding that Stevenage game): Comes on at half-time against Leeds to help see out a cagey 0-0 and get us our first points away from home. This result is also the catalyst for the first serious downturn in Leeds' form, who would lose their next 4 on their eventual slide to vacating the top-flight with hilariously extreme prejudice. Comes on at half-time against Fulham and is so unmitigatedly shite that Gerrard finally gets the sack. Manages to not shit the bed in the 8 minutes he's on the pitch against Spurs to seal a crucial 3 points on our glorious march to European football. He is simultaneously an apology of a footballer and a human sliding door.

I have an answer for this; short sponsors. We'd have enough room on McGinn's alone to fund stadium redevelopment.

Adidas kits wouldn't look half as shit if the three stripes still went along the length of the sleeve. The shoulder cut-off does and always has looked gash.

Harry Hampton got caught in a mustard gas attack and moved to Small Heath when he returned from the war. The horrors he must have seen. Bet the war wasn't fun either.
