Maybe they haven't even finalized the deal yet.

Whatever. 😁 😉 😁

😁

Just waiting to jump in and ask if his kids actually listen to his music. 😁 🙄

Kenneth Collins8 said:...here’s the setlist from that solo show in Bristol back on Feb 26, 2005:

west country girl / Abattoir Blues / red right hand / hallelujah / love letter / Baby you turn me on / weeping song / the mercy seat / cannibal's hymn / rock of gibraltar / god is in the house / hiding all away / christina the astonishing / jack the ripper
Encore 1: lyre of orpheus / lucy / stagger lee
Encore 2: messiah ward / the ship song

I grabbed a live recording from that tour—the one from Brussels and Moscow.

The audio quality sucks...😢 - but man, it's genius 👍 😁

banderas said:God forbid it turns into some "artistic" poetry reading accompanied by a piano and a guitar.

Ugh, I wouldn't want that either...🙂

Let them just sing "Baby I'm on fire" the way it's supposed to be sung. 😍

Sean Lee7 said:Does anyone actually remember what tickets cost when they first played in Washington, D.C.? Wasn't the price way lower back then? Or am I just losing my mind?

I think it was around $180, if I recall... but whatever. 😁

Not really willing to drop much $110 for Cave. 😁

Booked it for 330. 😁 😁 😁

Kenneth Collins8 said:...usually his solo gigs feature some members of the Bad Seeds or guys from bands close to him back in his home country... during his last two solo shows, he was backed by Martyn P. Casey, Jim Sclavunos, and Warren Ellis...

I can't even disagree with you here. 😬

AAAAAAA! 🙏 😁

Who the hell are they hiring to run an event like this? 🙏 😁

When do tickets actually go on sale? 🙂

casualfox9 said:Nah. My contract and all my statements clearly say it's between the 1st and the 10th of the month.

Well, if that's what you think, I don't know...😲

Look, as far as I know, the deadline to pay the installment is between the 5th and the 10th of the month. Anything paid before the 5th just goes toward reducing the previous principal balance.

Thomas Diaz6 said:Saw an article in Los Angeles, apparently tickets will be $50. Hopefully they actually make it out here, it's gonna be a killer show. 😁

Yeah, totally. Ultra-mega kick-ass. 😁

But where? WHERE?

Heard a rumor that Jon Spencer might be playing on May 14th.
Someone please tell me this is true before I go out and drop cash on a ticket. 😬

dodouprolazu said:I think those bruises that pop up from even the slightest bump or pressure—and take forever to fade (especially if you didn't have them before starting the pills)—might be linked to poor circulation. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I'm with you on this one. I’ve always dealt with crappy circulation issues, like broken capillaries and cellulite, way before I ever touched these pills... but these bruises? They don't just appear out of nowhere. I bumped myself a week ago and ended up with this massive, deep purple bruise. It's only just starting to fade now, and honestly, it freaked me out thinking it was taking way too long... phew, I legit panicked thinking my liver was trashed. 🙄 😲

Look, I get it, I shouldn't be smoking (and yeah, I smoke half a pack a day)... but whatever, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow regardless, right? 😉

Seriously, what are you guys even on about now? 😕

Look, I started taking Celeste because of ovarian cysts and irregular periods... not primarily for birth control...😉

If I end up having to go through those liver function tests... man...😲 😳 🙄

granitebadger25 said:Regarding those slow-moving spots, when was the last time you actually had your liver enzymes checked? (You really should get that done periodically if you're on birth control.)

So, basically, check your liver function and clotting factors—since they're tied to how your liver is doing.

So there it is. It could actually be related, huh? 😲 😲 😲

I've never even had my liver tests done! 😲
My doctor never once mentioned I needed to.

Jesus...😳 🙄 😠

Ashley Fox69 said:Look:

Smoking and hormonal birth control don't mix. It spikes your risk of blood clots. It usually starts in a deep vein in your leg, then travels to your lungs, brain, whatever.

You could end up having a heart attack that way because the blood gets too thick. When someone shows up with deep vein thrombosis, doctors always check if they smoke, take pills, have been sedentary, or had an injury that kept them immobile... those are all major risks.

As for the fat content, I don't think there's a connection.

Basically, thromboembolism is the clot itself, while strokes and heart attacks are just the fallout from that clot. 😉.

Just quit smoking. 🥳.

Thanks! 🙏

And I was looking for a medical opinion, not some unsolicited advice telling me to "stop taking birth control." 😁

Hmm, yeah... but now I'm wondering why they dropped the age limit from 35 down to 30? I honestly thought I had another five years and a month of breathing room. 🙄

So, here’s the deal. I’ve been on Cilest for two and a half years now. Honestly, it’s fine—no side effects or anything weird. I don't have an issue with the pill itself, but!

The instructions say this:

"Oral contraceptive use is linked to an increased risk of several conditions, including thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, and stroke. This statistically significant risk increases with age, particularly in heavy smokers (consuming more than 15 to 20 cigarettes per day). Therefore, women over the age of 30 should be advised to quit smoking for preventative purposes."

It used to say "women over 35"!!! 😲

Can someone who actually understands this stuff explain how this affects the body to cause a heart attack? And what on earth is thromboembolism? 😕 (I hate it when they write instructions like this where a regular person can't make heads or tails of it :roll: )

I have noticed two things, though: more broken capillaries on my legs than before, and my bruises take way longer to heal. Could there be a connection there? 😕

😲 🙄

I'm losing my mind here...😢

Just scrolling through the Dnevnik today, looking at those top lists from the usual local heavyweights—Dragaš, Perković, Grgić, Denis Leskovar, and the rest.

Total vote count tallied up, the list looks like this:

1. Abattoir blues [ written by Nick Cave and Dad Seeds 😁 🙄 ]
2. Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
3. Franz Ferdinand
4. The Earlies - These were the Earlies
5. Bjork - Medulla

TOTAL GARBAGE! I can't stand seeing Nick getting this much hype. 😁😁😁

As for the local stuff:

1. TBF - Maxon universal
2. Edo Maajka - No sikiriki
3. Arsen Dedić - Na zlu putu
4. The Strange - Night of forgotten films
5. Ramirez

🙄 and 🙂 for Ramirez and Arsen 😁

Bradley Ramos11 said:Sophia Loren didn't perform for 7,000 people; the venue was still half empty.

Exactly. Just some trashy, pathetic attempt at an Hall &Oates meets Peaches vibe. 🙂>

It’s not being arrogant when you’re talking about having >=10 of them 😁

As for me, I honestly don't think Iron & Wine hit the mark at all this year. 🙄 Same goes for Bjork, man.

But man, Razorlight was a total shock to the system. 🙏 🙏 🙏
