They're both playing different rooms at the same venue on the same day and I've never seen either of them! Gaaaahh.

Screengrab of the schedule for the music venue Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. On November 14, 2026, Gilla Band is playing the smaller Back Room and Protomartyr is headlining the main room.

Still annoyed the one time I saw them (pre-Green summer tour) I was denied the chance to hear it live.

Note in the encore states "The crowd was given a choice between "Holiday" or "The Good Life"". The crowd chose "Holiday". 😞

Saw her 10 years ago early in the day at Osheaga in Montreal (Radiohead headlined that night) and her staging was a baby's room, with her performing part of the set in a giant crib. Yeah, not for me, but the crowd was definitely into it.

Picture of one of the main stages during the final day (July 31, 2016) of the 2016 Osheaga Festival at Parc Jean-Drapeau, Montreal, QC.

This was taken before Melanie Martinez was to perform. Her stage was set up as a baby's room, with the backdrop showing a pink wallpaper with pictures of a teddy bear & bunny on the "wall". Letter blocks were stacked on either side of the stage, with both sides each spelling "BABY". Risers for drums & keyboards were next to each block stack, with the centerpiece of the stage being a large baby's crib.

Cat's Cradle having Gilla Band and Protomartyr playing the same night in their two venues in the same building is a personal attack against my post-punk loving ass. Add Chat Pile playing here in Charlotte on the same night and now you have an existential crisis.

Thanks for the Krispy Kreme donut, Clive. (My wife and I (not pictured by Getty Images, sadly) were at the front of the line for over 48 hours to get the new Pearl Jam album at Tower Records in 2006, which also included a free ticket to see them at Irving Plaza a few days later.)

I'm glad he's conscious and alert, but if this isn't his last match, I don't know what to say.

"Christian har det godt og gik selv
fra banen. Som jeg ser det støder pacemakeren, som den skal.

Han var kortvarigt væk, men meget hurtigt ved bevidsthed, og vi var hurtigt i kontakt med ham.

Nu skal han undersøges yderligere på hospitalet for at finde ud af, hvad der forårsagede hændelsen.

Vi er løbende i kontakt med ham og
lægerne på sygehuset. Men Christian har det godt, og han bad mig hilse alle spillerne og sige, at han var okay.

Google Lens translation of Danish Men's Football Team update on Christian Erikson's condition:

"Christian is doing well and walked off the field himself. As I see it, the pacemaker is beating as it should.

He was briefly gone, but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him.

Now he needs to be further examined at the hospital to find out what caused the incident.

We are in constant contact with him and the doctors at the hospital. But
Christian is doing well, and he asked me to say hello to all the players and say he was okay.

I don't know how this UDF in Huber Heights is still hanging on to $3.79 (with another location down the road $0.50 higher), while the new Buc-ee's has already jumped to $4.19.

GasBuddy map around Huber Heights, OH with one United Dairy Farmers (UDF) location pricing regular unleaded gasoline at $3.79/gal., well below the local Dayton-area average of $4.845/gal.

Most other lower-priced locations are at $4.29, but the majority of locations, after zooming in, are at $4.99.

This Homeland Security statement doesn't come close to describing what happened in the video. Just another attempt at sweeping things under the rug to get us to look away.

Homeland Security
@DHSgov
...
Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.
An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.
He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.
The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.
This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
This is an evolving situation, and we will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available.

Actual: Being one of the last persons admitted into 9:30 Club for the impromptu Radiohead / Pulp / Michael Stipe show after lightning struck RFK Stadium for the '98 Tibetan Freedom Concert. Shame I didn't get a good shot of Brad & Jen in the balcony. Photo Flex: me & Jarvis on the S.S. Coachella.

Ticket stub from the first day (Saturday, June 13, 1998) of the 1998 Tibetan Freedom Concert.

A hole in the center and a black stamp reading "9:30" were later added after entering the 9:30 Club for the impromptu Radiohead, Pulp, Michael Stipe concert that night.

Jarvis Cocker, frontman of the band Pulp, asking me during their song "His 'N' Her's" performed in the second leg of 2012's (and only) S.S. Coachella what my biggest fear was. I was only asked this because the woman before me could only mutter out "I love you!" to the same question.

It took me a moment to respond, but I honestly answered back, "Public speaking."

Jarvis comments, "Well, I've put you in quite a situation then, haven't I?" I nod and then we shake hands.

Never thought something like this would happen to me.
