Is anyone here, or does anyone know, a builder in the Preston/Thornbury kinda area who can do commercial fitouts? Nothing high spec, just enough to satisfy council permits and get me started pouring beers. 😊

FWIW, VB (CUB) is owned by Asahi (at the moment).

That’s so cool! I only recently saw them live for the first time at the 25th Anniversary show of Moon Safari at Sidney Myer Music Bowl and it was AMAAASZZZZZINNNGGGGG

Oh fuck off (the majority of) Australia!

You could use google lens translate to help

They have all that and are still corrupt. It’s a nice idea in theory, but shown to be useless in practice.
At this point, upon swearing in, they should have to forfeit everything they own, never be allowed to invest or have any job ever again, and in return they get whatever the current Centrelink payment is.

Yeah, my recent change took 30mins!

I think its a yo-yo no? Still applicable i should think?

The CEO using money stolen from artists to fund a war machine that nearly none of the artists would not support doesn’t bother you? No? How about platforming Joe Rogan? No?
Actively destroying the music industry by making up AI bands, and paying the least to real artists, while being the worst app in every way? No?

Ok, well you stand by your principles and don’t let morals agrt in the way.

Friends don’t let friends use Spotify.

And yet they release this podcast on Spotify

Surely stealing from landlords is entirely encouraged, like Colesworth and Bunnings

And its even better live! I was recommending to a friend the other day and could only say that it’s, like, pop-krautrock. An odd combo but man it works!

Well, it’ll be Bandcamp Friday in a few hours anyway… https://isitbandcampfriday.com/

Speaking of Bandcamp Friday, I hiiiiiighly recommend this new album from local (electric) Violinist and all around legend: Xani.
I saw her live a few weeks ago, and just can’t stop!

See? I’m already doing you a favour. 😊

It’s worth a shot? 😉
