I've had friends go into hipster dive bars and do this:
Only gotten the jukebox unplugged.
Wikipedia informs me that Thin Lizzy was an Irish band. That's kind of surprising, because "The Boys are Back in Town" always struck me as dumb in a distinctly American way somehow.
1: I've wanted to try it with Meatloaf. Save money because the songs are much longer.
2: My understanding is that the particular dumbness in that song works well there, too. In some ways it makes even more sense, given how many émigrés Ireland has produced, especially to Britain.
That was odd. My first attempt to post took me to the preview page, so I thought I'd accidentally pressed preview instead of post.
4: Based on my extensive viewing of two seasons of Hinterland, the tone is all wrong for Wales.
I like the other "boys are back in town" too (from the 48 hours soundtrack)

I don't see where, exactly, the russians' nickel is in it with continuing to be virtual soldiers in the pepe army. I mean, they've got trump elected and I don't know that it's doing them a whole lot of good. but even if we grant that it is, is his domestic hand actually strengthened in any way by having right-wing conspiracy theorists become more unified and powerful? by having young men on the edge go from gamergaters to actual nazis? these people are all quite pro-russian due to back-formation from the perceived anti-russian views held by "elites" (who dislike having the russians throw american elections due to their latte-sipping snobbery, I guess) so is that it? is that enough to make up evil shit about charlottesville and smear it all over the walls of the internet? is russia in it for the lulz in some fundamental way?
for you moby, presuming you range so far afield from wales: grittiness.
is russia in it for the lulz in some fundamental way?
Maybe they're just trying to sow chaos without any particular preferred outcome.
I think the answer to the question posed in 10 above is revenge.
10: I'll take a shot - Putin and the Kremlin want to see Russia's relative power in the world rise as close to Soviet era levels as possible, and since Russia's economy, military, and population are themselves failing they've identified the best way forward as destabilizing the United States and Europe. I would say that they're right to think that increasing the clout of the far right is the best way to accomplish that.
11: Thank you. The guy in the middle probably won't make it past the first season.
14: Also, they want to discourage countries near Russia from seeking to join NATO.
10: We had thread about this.
I am ignorant of thread. much shame ensue.
1 I used to do that with "King of the Road"
In Putin's Russia, thread has you.
The fact that Phil Lynott was black presumably doesn't distress the Nazis
30. People like that don't care about the fucking bass player. Lead solos or nothing. (I wonder what they make of Whiskey in the Jar?
10. Answers to date are all good as far as they go, but pussy footing around the possibility that the old KGB man is actually looking for a knock out. If the Russians can destabilise the US to the point where its allies in the west are scurrying around looking for alternative arrangements, economic and military, they win, nicht wahr?
Destabilizing the west is potentially an attainable goal. Establishing a transnational white supremacist authoritarian coalition is the shoot-the-moon goal.
32: I don't think even Putin reckons he can get western Europe to join some sort of racist Russian version of NATO. All the most worryingly authoritarian NATO nations are also, for good reason, very anti-Russia. But he could hope to destroy NATO and the EU and then intimidate Europe and the Middle East one country at a time. (We kind of missed it but last November he tried to assassinate the prime minister of a NATO member state and set up a massacre of pro-Russian protesters.)
I certainly missed it. But massacre of pro-Russian protesters? Typo, or some kind of complicated plan?
To make it look as though the Montenegrin government was responsible, thus serving as a pretext for a pro-Russian coup.
The murders were to have been committed by coup supporters in police uniforms firing from inside the parliament building.
O.K. So did the massacre fail to happen too?
It looks like Trump is on track to be the first president since FDR to lose Guam.
Los japoneses invadieron Guam justo después de Pearl Harbor.
Si, claro. ¿Pero que pasa Allá ahora?
Trump va a empezar y perder una guerra con Corea del Norte.
Isn't Hamilton 68 the same bunch that listed a bunch of Progressive sites like Consortium News and Ian Welch and Avedon Carol as outlets of Russian propoganda? Largely for questioning the evidence so far presented for "Russia-gate"?
