As far as Madison Square Garden is concerned—just let them book Portishead, and then I'll happily bite my own junk off.

Look, I’m the same way everywhere I go. 😍

And don't go biting it yourself—just hand it over to Spike in Chicago. ☕

Would they fit better here, or maybe just on the left ear, purely from a scientific standpoint...? 🤷

Here’s an idea... Eddie Vedder could kick off a solo tour across America in early June.

I know they’ve swapped members before, but this feels worse than if Black Francis decided to assemble a new version of the Pixies without any of the original lineup. We all know he was the songwriter, much like how Nikola was the soul of OPO, but just imagine someone else stepping up to sing "Gigantic" instead of Kim Deal 🤷
The situation here is even bleaker because Dragan’s vocals were essentially the band's trademark and... I don't know, it didn't occur to me to go crawl into a dive bar for their concert, even though some people claim it wasn't quite that tragic...

Let's just agree on one thing 😁
OPO has been a terrible band—not just recently, but consistently since 2000. I’ve had the (un)fortunate experience of seeing them live a few times, and honestly, it was awful. There is absolutely no comparison to the quality they used to have.
Mind you, I haven't listened to them since two or three years ago, so maybe something shifted in the last couple of years 🤷

Alright, can someone please explain to me what Dreadzone actually is? What kind of sound are we talking about here? Is it just some club music for party animals or what?
They seem to be incredibly popular lately. I've been listening on YouTube, but honestly, it doesn't even sound like 🤷🤷

For those who aren't aware, Dreadzone has just been announced as one of the headliners for the upcoming show at Madison Square Garden

I believe the headliners for the local radio station were similar to Gaia last year, if I recall correctly?

Upićku. ☕

It’s pretty damn obvious the entire festival is going to be ☕

Wait, what do you mean by "headliner"? 🤷

This fest just doesn't have the pull to book any major rock legends. I'm holding out hope for Lollapalooza instead; that’s where you find the real music.

Oh boy! :S

Their SMS support is a total joke 🙏 I send a message, nothing. I call Verizon, they tell me to just send another one. I do that—still radio silence. Then they have the nerve to tell me to call back during business hours because they can't help me right now 🙏 Verizon 🙂

Honestly, I feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one dealing with this mess. I was sitting here thinking I was doing something wrong or sending the wrong thing—I've been swearing under my breath all day over this. 😠

After spending hours on the phone with Verizon, they finally admitted something broke and their stupid SMS reservation system is down. They basically have no clue when it’ll be fixed—so they told me to just call customer service and double-check if it's back up before I bother sending another message. 🙄

honestly pretty great 🙄

(so probably won't see anything until Monday at the earliest)

It finally happened. Just got the text.

We’ve only got 4 days left to snag those tickets at $83. It's weird, though—Serj's official site doesn't even mention a show in Los Angeles. 😕

Maybe this could actually turn out to be a pretty good thing in the end...?

uh... well, maybe that works for you. personally, I'm not feeling it.

Maybe I’m just reaching here, but I just realized the guy booking basically every single set at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was doing those sketchy, broken social scene shows in Russia and PJ Harvey in Poland just a couple weeks before. 🤷
