My musician mate reckons they turned the volume down for Weezer. I dunno about that, but it felt like a Smashing Pumpkins gig!
They certainly can play! Great gig. One of our group cried when they played Mayonnaise.

not sure they turned it down. the pumpkins have a fuller sound, so will always sound "bigger".
great hearing that stuff live again. i'm sure there were a few people with "something in their eye".

Both bands were really good and despite Billy Corgan saying beforehand he wasn't going to play the hits it was a good set list.

I took one video at the end which came out quite well if you want to relive Cherub Rock

Ha! Looking at that vid we were just along from there.

Also I did not know Billy Corgan wrote that Hole song, Celebrity Skin.

2000ish - 2010ish for me. Aged 15 to 25. Nowte but mates, women, football and going out out. Films were great and gangster rap was on fire. Back end of Britpop and good indie stuff in actual charts based on sales. TV saturated in sarcasm (watching back Simon Amstel on Popworld and he was genius). Napster and MySpace.

I was enjoying drink and drugs before it manifested in alcoholism and I had to stop (boooo). Phones were there to communicate with mates but none of that TikTok bollocks literally stealing full days from people.

Me and the wife were talking about naughties film comedies the other day. There just seemed to be classic after classic in a condensed period. Hangover, Superbad, Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin etc. Literally nothing genuinely funny comes out anymore.

Wasn't Britpop all over by 1997 ?

'Landfill indie' is a catch-all for derivative garage rock à la the Strokes or the Libertines that's particularly nostalgic for people who grew up with Skins.

I remember Sunday in the 1970s when everything was shut after midday We just played out in the street or up the park . There was nothing else to do and TV was absolutely boring as hell.
I remember playing on building sites and building bikes out of old bits of other bikes.
70s music was great and still is .

We had proper snow

Then there was Terry Christian in the 1980s and beyond .What a tosser he was.

My son and a few of the younger colleagues in my workplace have asked me what it was like growing up in the 70s and 80s and stuff.

I just tell them in the 80s I went to work, went to the football, went to the pub, bought records, the same as I do now. Starting going home and away regularly with my mate and then a gang of us from 1982/83. Had some great times. In 1983/84/85 I went on my scooter to Scooter Runs all over the UK. Again, had a great time.

Life was more simple, the world was larger, we were more innocent, people were more tolerant than they are nowadays. Social Media is what has fucked up the 21st Century.
