Have you heard IDLES?
British band screaming
hard truth. Some can’t
hear past the screams.
Google, “I’m Scum” lyrics.
See the connection between
their name and song title?
These guys are anything
but idle!

They make a swell combo don’t they. Would love to see an ER video with Idles music.

Ha ha, thanks Lisa. Well, I know you have good taste (you introduced me to Potty Mouth). The Idles were quite big over here for a time and they’ve often played Glastonbury.
And you’re welcome! 😊

You are welcome. Nina, sounds like you are way closer to them than me here over the pond. Are they not big over there now?

Oh yes they still are but they don’t seem to play the big stages as much now, I think. They were everywhere some years ago up until 2019 but since then not as much. I imagine covid slowed a few careers down. But they’re popular in an underground cool way if you know what I mean.

Great band. I love the way they use guitar too.

Me too on IDLES. Same here on the guitarist, who often wears a dress when he plays.
I can see where Eleanor would be a hero to a child :)
