“Don’t be asking me to pick sides for something I ain’t got any real idea about, at a gig,” they wrote. “I’m a singer. My job is music. The only real thing I know about War is that I’m sick and tired of premature death like we all are. Of the murder of anyone, under whatever fucking belief grid.”

Seeing them in Manchester tomorrow. On the plus side if they cut the show short I'll be able to catch the train home instead of uber.

Take along a Palestinian flag to make sure.

Bob Vylan has been calling out pseudo-left bands like Sleaford Mods and Idles on their current tour. I'd missed the previous revive so didn't know which bands they were talking about at the gig (they had called them both out by name at a previous gig, but the one I went to they said they didn't want it to become a this band vs that band beef so didn't name anyone specifically)

I miss that guy on Twitter who kept winding up Sleaford Mods by congratulating them for their MBE tbh

I wonder where Benefits land on this.

Assumed the revive was for their Pet Shop Boys endorsed version of ‘West End Girls’. Not one of their finer moments.

oh yeah, it's terrible

I'm just going to write a Sleaford Mods song to demonstrate how easy it is to get an MBE these days
