Big day for new releases yesterday with Deicide and Darkthrone both putting out new albums. Also worth checking out are: - Accept - Humanoid - Tombstoner - Rot Stink Rip - Draugnim - Verum Malum - Night Shall Drape Us - Lunatic Choir

Not having Shad Khan drop the Big Leg on his son is moment of the year gone completely begging ”Yeah, but whose side is he on Excalibur?”

The rumours of My Neighbour Totoro transferring to the West End were true, as it’s just been announced that the show will run at the Gillian Lynne Theatre from March 8th 2025. Tickets for the run go on sale next week, with Priority Booking from Monday April 29th and General Sale from Friday May 3rd

For that exact item, delivery to the UK is as follows: Shop AEW & PWT - $13.49 (£10.49). Shop AEW Global - $8.99 (£7.22) Shop AEW Global doesn't offer as many garment types as the other two, and you also pay an additional $1.75 in Tax. All three options also charge 62c Handling Fee. As @Statto alluded to, if you buy when they’re having one of their 20% promos (which they do pretty regularly) you can more or less offset most of the shipping costs using the relevant code. As for customs, I’ve ordered from Shop AEW 3 times in the past and haven’t been hit with a Customs charge on any occasion. I don’t want to say that you definitely won’t , it would be Sod’s Law to say “you’ll be fine” only for you to then get hit, but it’s yet to happen on any purchase I’ve made (same goes for WWE Shop)

If I can find some that are either new or in very good condition then I’ve no issue buying second hand at all. I might have to buy the turntable new from from Fluance themselves though. I can find parts for it on eBay but not the turntable itself. Saying that, Amazon does have one of their RT80s on there for £200. In theory could I not just buy the cartridge that the RT81+ uses (an AT-VMN95) and replace the one on the RT80? Might only save £40 or so, which makes me think it might just be easier to go with the newer model

Thanks for the suggestions a couple of weeks ago guys. After a lot of reading about turntables that won’t break the bank but are generally considered very good for beginners I think I’ve settled on what I’m going g to get, that being a Fluance RT81+ (sometimes called the 81 Elite), which comes with a built in pre-amp, and going to get some Q Acoustics M20 (Powered) Speakers. That should be enough for what I’m wanting to do right now, but I can add to it overtime if I decide to. Just got to get saving now and focus on getting that first rather than looking on eBay for vinyl first 🤦🏻‍♂️

Zo, the Oz short film featuring Beecher & O’Reily post-Oz and which was only previously available as part of the ATX TV Festival back in the pandemic, is coming to YouTube on May 1st As some of you know I do the Inside Oz Podcast (S4BE15 - Even The Score will be available tomorrow), so I’m super stoked that I finally get to see this as it means the pod can have its rightful conclusion. I had previously been in touch with Tom Fontana about acquiring a copy, but it was during the writer’s strike so he wasn’t talking to anybody and there was already some “legal issues” preventing a release

I know I’ll be in the minority on this, but I can’t believe they’ve gone straight to Danielson/Osprey for this rather than holding off for it and running it at Wembley. I know the match is going to be everything that fans today want it to be (some will have given it the 6 star treatment in their heads already), but you’ve got two guys both claiming to be the best in the world, one of whom has said he’s going to be wrapping his career up by the end of the year, and you’ve got an upcoming show with thousands of tickets that still need shifting. Youre not going to get many chances to run this match with Danielson retiring, so why would you not have on your biggest show? Would this match shift all of those remaining Wembley tickets? Not likely, but it would certainly shift a good chunk. This isn’t one of those “where the story!?” posts, there doesn’t need to be one, the whole thing of “I’m the best”, “no you’re not bruv! I am bruv!” writes itself, and that is the biggest match they could have for Wembley. The only match that could come close to it is Osprey v a returning Omega, but I’ve no idea how far off Kenny is from returning to action, or you have Osprey go after the World title. Now, an Osprey v Samoa Joe match could be quite fun, but I’m pretty certain they’re putting the belt on Swerve here, which frankly doesn’t do anything for me. Again, I know I’m probably in the minority with that

The Juice has run out Good riddance you murdering cunt

I’m in two minds about it. Im not against injury angles per se, if it’s done well it can really add to a match and if the crowd buy it then it achieved its goal. However, doing it 3 days after NXT had to stop a match due to a legitimate injury (to Joe Gacy who smacked the back of his head on the mat and knocked himself out, although he was cleared soon afterwards ) is probably more of an issue, which could either be looked as just being poor timing or somebody just didn’t think of how it could look. The other thing is withit being a perceived neck injury. I don’t mean to sound like one of WWE’s ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ ads, but wrestlers run that sort of risk of injury every time they get in the ring, and one wrong move could be the end of your career, or worse in the case of a neck injury. I got a stinger when I played Sunday Rugby League and couldn’t feel my hands for 45 minutes. It was legitimately the most scared I’ve ever felt in my life, and pretending to have a neck injury just doesn’t sit right, at least it doesn’t with me i don’t know, maybe I’m reading too much into it.

Seen a lot of backlash from them doing a fake injury angle in the Billie Starks/Queen Animata match. I don’t know if people are annoyed that they did it in the first place or just that they bought it.

Random bump of this as today, as despite never being really into vinyl and only having a small handful of records by certain artists, I’ve decided I’d quite like a player and build a small collection. The main issue is that I’ve got no idea where to even start with what I’m looking for, what sort of budget to set myself or anything. I’m fairly sure I want to stay away from one of those £50 players that have the speakers build in as I imagine they sound like shite, but if I can get something that sounds decent for OK money I’ll be happy. Any help is greatly appreciated

They're more than a regular ticket, but cheaper than going to the theatre itself. £15-£20 seems to be the going rate for those kind of screenings

Let’s not get all Netflixy and see if the momentum continues into Series 2 before we go commissioning spin-offs and shit
