Another music question: a robot bastard asked me if you need to learn theory to be outstanding

One question was left over from yesterday: about how to practice when you don’t have access to an instrument (cameo vocals from Aug)

ICE agents are parading around America’s streets in the same gear I wore in combat overseas. It’s Commando Cosplay. And it’s bullshit. Federal agents should be targeting violent criminals, not murdering American civilians.

Koeman on England: "They are going to gamble on corners and throw-ins. That takes the least amount of energy in the hot conditions. That is how Arsenal became champions. Without the corners, they wouldn't have made it."
