Attention post officers: Never deliver vinyls on a rainy day!! 📦☔❌

It's a rainy day here in Gjakova. I was going somewhere. While i was walking in the rain, under my umbrella, i remembered when the post officer decided to deliver the Rihanna - Loud vinyl i got for my friend Rina Ferati, on a rainy day. We're both Rihanna fans so, i wanted to surprise her on her birthday with a Rihanna vinyl.💛😊  I ordered the vinyl at Juno Records in UK. It takes one month for vinyl to get here via Royal Mail.  I waited one month. Of all the sunny days, the vinyl arrived on a rainy day. I don't remember if the package had the "Keep Dry" Label on. I wonder if it occurred to the post officer that the vinyl would get wet. He could've waited for the rain to stop pouring or deliver the vinyl on a sunny day, I was freaking out. Lucky for us, the vinyl didn't get wet. 😅 "Now that it's raining more than ever..." - Rihanna Since that day, i've been resonating with Rihanna's Umbrella more than ever!

Watch The Prodigy in Belgrade in 1995

The Prodigy Group has a special status in Serbia. The local audience adores them, just like they adore them, but this relationship does not come from anywhere. The Prodigy are the first foreign band to visit Belgrade in 1995, eight days before the signing of the Dayton Accords, while the war was still officially over, and immediately after the sanctions, as part of their world tour when they were at their peak. On December 8, 1995, in today's Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, a former Pionir, a record number of visitors was recorded, which has not been dropped even today. While the whole of Serbia was in media and political darkness, completely excluded from the world, and young people in Serbia forgotten by the state without any hope for a better tomorrow, The Prodigy held a concert that was a turning point in many generations of Serbia, thus gaining cult status. At the cultural level, this event was completely under the radar of people from political life, and it gave young people in Serb

Among those interviewed are Mark Reeder, Monica Kruse and Love Parade founder Danelle DePicciotto, who talk about how their lives were connected by urban punk and 1980s art movement Genialle D
