You know you're getting old.... (3 Viewers)

Ah, I think we get some wisdom or knowledge or whatever you want to call it.
There's less worrying and stress cos you get a far better understanding of what's important with your every dwindling time.
Getting older puts an urgency on you to get things done and look out for the people you should be looking out for.
There's a lot of worrying about fitting in and being cool (or whatever) when you're younger.
Happiness becomes simpler in older age.

yeah - we figure out things that make life easier as we go along until the end.

the amount of conformity among middle aged people is far more than youngsters trying to be cool.
people signed up to spending vast amounts of money on things that were completely optional and can't rationalise why even if they were asked.

I was depressed about the state of the world 30 years ago, so dog knows how kids feel now - I've never seen it worse and it won't get any better. but I am done worrying about things that I cannot fix.

and stick to them.

and stick to them.

I'd like them just to advertise the gigs well. That would be a good start

I'm finding lately that most older bands will do this - post set times, cos they know their audience

But also, most venues are standard. They stick to the same schedule for most acts.

Asked the BIMM lad in work if he's going to Pulp next week. Looked at me a bit blankly, asked if they had a song called Idaho. Blank stares to Common People, Disco 2000, Jarvis. Turns out he was born in 1996.

Asked the BIMM lad in work

Is his band terrible?

he's left it all behind, gone corporate.

I asked him if he was waiting on the nu-metal revival. LOL

How can someone that is interested enough in music to attend a music college, be so ignorant/unaware of a band like Pulp?

 

[magicbastarder]

is that the definition of punk?

 

[therealjohnny]

Obliviousness to everything outside preferred genre - maybe punk
Going to college to learn music - not punk

Related: At The Beths last night they said it was their fifth time in Dublin. FIFTH.
I only heard about them on Thumped last year.

I suppose I'm giving BIMMBoy a pass.

 

[therealjohnny]

This is the first I've heard of them

 

[therealjohnny]

Oh wait..that video looks familiar

Question: Are there any ticketmaster outlets / booths still open in Dublin or Kildare?

Not surprised at all.
