@phastenough.bsky.social The aluminum bottles bring out so much nuanced flavor.

The Offspring Schedules Supercharged Worldwide In ‘26 Tour The Offspring will headline the Supercharged World Tour '26 beginning in January 2026 with Bad Religion as special guests across North America.

Offspring and Bad Religion?

I guess we couldn’t keep them separated.

The best gig I ever saw cost £4. Spiralling concert prices are a cultural disaster | John Harris Tickets for big tours have vastly outstripped inflation, while smaller artists and venues struggle. The magic is in danger of being snuffed out entirely, says Guardian columnist John Harris

A sad read for every live music fan.

I said goddamn

This footage is unreal

Take a sip of genius juice sit back in an easy chair with your boots on and take the ride

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

@DaveG924 You should give a listen to the 3 big jams from Columbus or the Dawn + S2 + E from Chicago.

While their shows have been pretty inconsistent this tour, the highs are pretty remarkable.

@Nolasox @DaveG924 For sure. I was lucky enough to do one CL match and one PL match (Liverpool) last year for my birthday trip, and the only thing that compares that I’ve experienced was a Big Ten Michigan football game. And even that wasn’t close.

It was just a very odd feeling having no idea […]

@Nolasox @DaveG924 That’s awesome. There are definitely advantages to being able to take in the field from the 2nd level for sure. But the other thing that drove me nuts was no replay outside of confirmed goals—especially given how often VAR comes into play these days.

@DaveG924 @Nolasox For sure. That’s part of the reason why I’m talking myself into the authentic North London soccer pub experience and not risking fakes on the highly policed and limited secondary market.

For as much as I cherished the spirit, pride, and energy of being in Emirates stadium for […]

@Nolasox yup. Well worth it.

@Nolasox Last season, I was able to get both games through Arsenal America. I hit the lottery for the CL match and then I got a waitlist ticket for Liverpool.

I’m going to be out there for the Spurs match and was already rejected for the lottery. I’m strongly considering planning the day around […]

@jvaidman.bsky.social In the end, it’s all evil.

@Nolasox how did you score tickets?

I see it’s “Bust out questionable covers” night at the ole Goose show.

@Nolasox @clifff where and when are the Colorado dates? I didn’t see them.

@thebigmic33.bsky.social I’ve come around to how it’s not a fair comparison. I’m just sensitive to the concept of cultural boycotts and whether they do more harm than good.

@NatePHedi @Neddyo I think that’s fair. Ok, I can join the pile-on again 🙂.

@dipsetcarini.bsky.social Praying this is a true story.

@NatePHedi @Neddyo I get what you’re saying, and I’m more asking if my position is consistent vs defending the comedians or fest.

When Phish plays a red state they take a big fat paycheck typically from a live music oligarch (LN/AEG). But there are a lot of grateful people in the audience not […]

Seeing lots of stuff like this about the Saudi comedy fest.

I feel like this is an extension of “should my favorite band play [insert red state].”

Art—be it music, cinema, comedy, whatever—is a driver of community and positive change. Just like I don’t think people who live in Texas should be […]

@Neddyo Trey is gonna make Cyro make his band learn Evolve. The man made Wynton Marsalis learn Blaze On.

@NatePHedi @vriphish76 Growing up in NJ/NY, most of my friends and family are Giants fans, and let me tell you it’s simply adorable when they complain they are the worst-run franchise in the league.

@vriphish76 You also made a Super Bowl in 2002. The Jets have never made it to the Super Bowl in my lifetime.

@mikelowetpt.bsky.social In my lifetime, PSU has two national championships, numerous bowl/conference titles, and is a perennial powerhouse program. Not sure how that compares to the Jets.

@vriphish76 Could always be worse. You could be a Jets fan.

@DaveG924 Looks like S2 + E was ~73 minutes (65 min S2). Only acceptable if you’re 97 Phish and just landed the perfect 4/5 song second set.

It’s baffling that 1) this is still happening at all and 2) still happening in light of many of their best shows being when they aren’t up against curfew.

@DaveG924 amazing

@NatePHedi Between Cotter in the Hungersite, the Tumble, and how they executed the goontz jam (hate that word) into Empress for the encore, last night was so damn good.
