all of those cuddly moderate bands
on one bill - i think i'd snooze through the whole event.
I'm not against most of the bands, just the amorphous blob quality of the bill. i think it will undermine most of them, as they fade into one and other...
hmmm, maybe...
...but the more I read about this, the more I think 'yeah'.
Howe Gelb = brilliant.
Kelley Stoltz = brilliant.
My Latest Novel = brilliant.
Although, granted, there are a few sound-alikes in there...
it's a brilliant line-up
if it wasn't for a gig here, I'd be totally there. Oh, and the £95 tickets :(
£95 isn't expensive, in comparison...
...to most three-dayers.
Gawd I'm starting to sound like I'm running this thing...
Yawn yawn yawn
I'm instantly switching off when reading a festival lineup and it says British Sea Power. Besides that, I don't recognise half the artists listed here, and most of those are solo singers. Seems an awful lot of them for a festival. I'm guessing there's not going to be an acoustic guitar shortage...
This looks good, however
15 - 17th September?
Aren't they chancing it weather-wise?
hmm
when i saw my latest novel they were totally upstaged by semi finalists. that is a fact.
this looks like fun though. ooo
RYAN ADAMS!!!!
Has just confirmed as a headliner...it's going to be a uk exclusive and his first uk festival appearance!
as for the weather, only the main stage is 'uncovered' as far as i can work out....
ans suburban kids with biblical names are playing too. Who some smart alec will doubtless say 'theyre riding on the peter bjorn and john bandwagon'...well, there not. so there.....hmmm sorry for the petulance.
um
didnt he play glastonbury?
Nope
he cancelled last year
Why do you switch off when you hear British Sea Power mentioned?
Is it because you're dead inside? Or are you allergic to leaves?
...
...
does anyone know
whether or not there are still places left to steward at this. i really want to go, but i dont have 95 quid, and cant justify selling my leeds ticket to go to a festival that none of my mates are going to. i want to go so much though. argh.
oops
i forgot a question mark there. silly.
are
DiS the main sponsors?
no i hear you cry, it's a sponsor free event! Anyway, no bands worth seeing apart from guillemots at a glance.
miss squirrel!!
Do you want me to see if you can be one of mine again?
