The Black Keys just canceled their entire North American arena tour for this fall due to extremely poor sales (likely due to exorbitantly priced tickets — most markets were $100+ just to get in the building).
Whoever thought booking this band in arenas in 2024 should be fired.
@KollElmEnglish
Yeah, they're a decade-plus removed from their last big hit, they absolutely should have done a theater tour. A $100 GA ticket to get into a 2500-cap room stings a lot less than a $100 nosebleed ticket in a 15000-cap room.
Extremely bold move to try and shift the narrative from "Jesse Lacey had emotionally abusive, sexually motivated relationships with minors" to "Jesse Lacey is a serial cheater, please feel sorry for his wife."
The biggest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing me to watch three hours of Monday Night Raw to get a four-minute nothingburger of a CM Punk promo.

This is the house band from School Of Rock Cleveland from a couple summers ago. I know this because I work there. I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make is — kids can't play Fugazi songs? Kids can't have nice instruments? Weird take.

There was a brief moment in time earlier this year, when you listened to Dr. Acton and tried to protect Ohioans, when I thought, "Y'know, maybe I'd actually consider re-electing this guy in 2022." But you continue to show your true colors, and I will continue to vote against you.
Cheap Trick recently completed a sold-out four-night stand in Las Vegas in which they played 84 songs with only five repeats.
I dare any rock band with a career as long (five decades!) and a catalog as deep (20 records!) to even attempt this.

forever.
On Thursday, the employees of Bull Moose Music in Salem, New Hampshire, started informally talking about unionizing.
On Friday, the entire staff was fired and the store was closed.
Buy your records from independent stores who care about their workers.
Fuck Bull Moose Music.
Felt appropriate to post this on Labor Day. Here are the merch cuts being taken by the venues on this upcoming tour. This is going to cause us to sell our merch for higher prices than we'd like to at certain venues. We think that sucks. 1/

Which promising band/artist you covered did you think never got the attention they deserved? If you could go back and be in charge of AP what would you have done differently?
I lost 100 pounds in 2019! That’s pretty cool. In 2020, I’m gonna try for a more plant-based diet. Here’s my plan:
JANUARY - Meatless Mondays
FEBRUARY - Meatless week + Meatless Mondays
MARCH - Meatless month
Join me! Let’s try to un-fuck the world.

has passed away, as confirmed by his partner Nicole Theiss. This is awful. What a talented human. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends. Please keep mental health and addiction in the national conversation.
Tragic news:
Sean Lipinski, formerly of Twin Cities hardcore bands Holding On and Regret and currently of Sunset, recently had emergency brain surgery. Sadly, he is comatose and will become an organ donor.
A GoFundMe for his wife and children is here:
I felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
Real talk: I have never been under 300 pounds in my entire adult life, until this morning, when the scale read 299.8.
I’ve lost 78 pounds on Noom since January, and I’m not gonna slow down any time soon.
Thank you,

, for helping me get my life back, one day at a time.
So Andre 3000 is dropping a flute-based free jazz record on Friday, and this is the tracklisting. This is going to mess up so many peoples’ Spotify algorithms.
There hasn’t been a year in my life where I was under 300 pounds since I was in high school, probably.
I’ve officially been under 300 pounds for exactly one year as of this morning.
That’s wild and cool.
To anyone currently starting their weight loss journey: You can do it.
I'm pretty sure
