I didnât hear that.
He produced Suicideâs second record too, which is a banger
Thatâs a tough shot to take
Informative rating.
I was listening to their debut only yesterday. A masterpiece.
He did the first Weezer too, and tonnes of other stuff ( GBV, Bad BrainsâŚ)
Kim Shattuck, RIP. ALS, also known as Lou Gherigs Disease.
She took over for a brief period as Kim Dealâs replacement in the Pixies.
She did indeed. Not for long mind you, they binned her, in her opinion, for doing a stage dive.
In an interview with NME , Shattuck speculated that the band dismissed her for taking a stage dive at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles. âI know they werenât thrilled about that,â she said. âWhen I got offstage, the manager told me not to do that again. I said, âReally, for my own safety?â And he said, âNo, because the Pixies donât do that.ââ
Her reworking of Kids in America in Clueless gained her most of her fame outside the hardcore punk scene.
I wonder what lapsed poster from Carlow @GeoffreyBoycott would make of the news that Willie Frazer was a terrorist. He seemed to have a lot of time for Mr Frazer. Willie set up a series of âvictim groupsâ over the years but was he siphoning funds off to the UDA to buy weapons?

Well he was siphoning victimsâ money off - a lot of it European money - but a lot of people think it was going into his own pocket.

He scored two great points in the 1991 final
Was he not managing Down recently?
Until just last year
He managed them to the 2017 Ulster final
Holy fuck. Whats the cause of death?
I donât know but apparently it was âsuddenâ according to local MP Chris Hazzard
