What's this I hear about a new album?

It's called Five Against One. It's gonna be a punk record.

I ain't heard of Pearl Jam since Jeremy.

OH MY GOD JUST STOP POSTING IN THIS THREAD.

Sounds kick. ASS. It might be worth jumping back on the moving train over this.

I haven't been on FB for months. When did I ever post about X Factor?

Last year. Lots. You and I would ramble on for ages about it.

Um... no I didn't. I don't watch it. I tweeted about Masterchef all the time, and also the Eurovision Song Contest.

Ughhh that thing. It's the weirdest music competition in Europe.

That's why it's so good. But let's be honest, there isn't a music competition in Europe that isn't weird.

The thing is it's huge and essentially irrelevant at the same time. The music is supposed to be extremely commercial yet it rarely produces actual hits.

I'm failing to understand why any of this is a problem. It's highly camp and extremely funny and good to watch while drinking.

It is? I should try. I've never managed to watch the whole thing.

Most people watch it for the hilarity, and most of the performers know this so they camp it up as much as possible. Most of the singles are too ridiculous to do very well commercially outside of the competition itself. Just occasionally they're just this side of the line of farcical, so they do well.

That's the thing you see. Here it was taken fairly seriously up until very recently. Hell we sent a soprano a couple of years ago and she's super proud she was 8th or something. All this does enhance the hilarity though.

The only thing I know about European song contests is My Lovely Horse.

I aim to keep it that way.

that reminds me how somebody tried to convince me their original singer died and they got a new one for VS - and they suck ever since because of it.

Yeah, to be fair, I think some European countries do take it more seriously. It's pretty huge in the LGBT community in the UK because it's so fun and camp.

I always knew I loved you. Now I know why.

Ok
So dublins big alternative station is having a big competition tomorrow.
They've been running ads for it all week.

How big a pearl jam fan are you? Can you prove it? Sort of thing.

I gotta be up at 630 for this. And I will be. Happily.
Be good and mighty forces will come to your aid.

This is either tickets to the townhall or tickets to the Seattle shows and tour of PJHQ.
I'll take the latter every time.

Wish me luck, Lads.

I think UK takes it's the least seriously considering how big your music industry is. I'm sure it's a stereotype for the LGBT community everywhere it's big enough it certainly is here, we sent 3 drag queens once.

OK. Probably yes. They're supposedly playing Europe in the spring/summer. They booked Italy's biggest stadium/concert venue for July i believe.

A home-made shelf stack full of pics of dime with Ed.

Evidence that he continued to frequent this board.

McP, you should post the my lovely horse clip. For context.

And harmless. You're a big dirty liar. Re X factor.
