at a food festival.

I do.

Any idea how many early birds they sell?

In short though, this festival is an absolute bargain for £105. BUT £90 makes me cry with joy.

Much as I hate it, loads of ATP types were actually there this year.

Still not going though.

tar

wish I was there.

Show is strangeley missing from your round up.

[cries about age]

Brixton this year. Did they play Roundhouse too or was that Jimmy Eat World?

In fact they all were. Mogwai for breakfast anyone?

shits on 1997. Rage at the peak of thei powers and Beasties Boys making a comeback, all in one three hour period? Stick that up your Radioheads (who were also on I think).

on and off since Glastonbury 92. The best I have ever been to was ATP vs the Fans. It was absolutely the perfect weekend (partially due to getting lucky with a massive group of friends going). Basically if you exclude Pavement and Sonic Youth, my all time favourite bands are:

Modest Mouse
Built to Spill
Shellac
Mogwai

They were all on. Then there were the bands I was just discovering:

Edan
Battles
Micah P Hinson
Cornelius

Classics i always needed to see:

Echo and the Bunnymen
Wilco
Slint

Bands I missed:

Band of Horses
Isis

Fucking ridiculous! Also, amazing new site after the grimness of Camber, brilliant party atmosphere etc etc.

Its a tour, not just a one off london show I cant attend?

Good work everyone!

after the barely attended show on the pig lib tour. So empty a curtain as put half way across the venue and we were still rattling around.

Maybe some promotion this time eh?

The other day.

dude

how ticket sales are going?

When they last toured at length round here they were still playing all the good non-filler songs off it anyway. I'd rather that, plus other stuff they have done, than the whole of that album in order, with no surprises. But then I dont like this current trend for playing whole albums in one go. Is annoying.

Hit me.

UK shows last year. Not pedantic - correct.

Good band. Really good band.

If I want to get pissed, and you know, not fight or cause any trouble, but just have fun?

I thought, hey, like its not about the money its about the music? Surely they all should have played anyway?

going to take the word of an annonymous person who wont admit her involvement in the festival rather than any posts from anyone that paid to go, any of the acts, or any of their promoters.

no chorus

Please.

A tuesday in London is useless to me. ut good news otherwise.

It says that doesnt it, and doesnt help you. Sorry.

End of the Road.

I reckon it is a key factor for Glastonbury and others that attract an older crowd who are getting their weekend funded by daddy.

People are spending less on luxury items and weekends away watching shit indie and drinking to excess is one of those luxuries.

However it would be a shit excuse for Reading to not sell out as that is aimed at kids who dont have mortgages and are paying for their weekend through pocket money and paper rounds.

But then Reading AND Leeds sold out immediately....

Redfest failed because it has a weak line up that you can see anywhere else for less.

There are only about three questions?

114 for me.

are clearly just a compromise between the cash cows telling DiS to deal with more mainstream stuff, and DiS trying to keep some indie cool.

Regardless, they always come across with a sort of guffy indie boy, snorting through his nose patheticness.
And thats probably not a word.

Probably not that far off the mark no?

Badly Drawn Boy - abort abort abort!

so sort of agree with him in part. BUT Glastonbury had the worst problems of all festivals in tersm of people getting in for free/touting, and to have completed solved those problems deserves a little more credit.

The majority of the crowd, who are the ones who sell it out, and spend the whole weekend at the main stage, dont want a hip hop act.

Full of cunts.

The knuckleheaded Glastonbury crowd dont want a big hip hop headliner, they want this months anthemic, average indie band, to bray along too.

did they sell out those 5 nights at Brixton Academy?

Must have been hard to get a scaffolder that week in London.

Right I am going to make a statement; I am now only going to festivals if the organisers have emailed me to wish AFC Bournemouth good luck with the administration or forthcoming season.

No one tell Eavis as he might do it.

Going to rule.

But as boy from Bournemouth I would like to point out that its not the West Country, its actually south central.

Oh and Rosbeef, how easy is it to get out the car park so I can pop home and see my folks/go see AFC Bournemouth if they are at home that weekend?

Thanks, and keep it up, is looking amazing.

Prodigy, Charlatans, Shed 7, Ian Brown, Kravitz, Travis.

Mind bendingly bad. Now will someone actually compare it to the 96 line up please?

Is perfect. Absolutely perfect. And I didnt go at Xmas so am now excited about the improvements too.

For V96 as well?

horribly guffy and indie-boy-ish. Can practically hear the snorting through nose sound everytime a question is asked.

sound like Sting.

(but I like)

That really doesnt work.

Please re-read the last sentance. Interestingly the first time I went to Glastonbury in 1992 Cud, Carter and Neds where all on then too.
Glastonbury can lick my cubes.

Last year all the good stuff was on the smaller stages. Contempory acts like Neds Atomic Dustbin, Jimbob from Carter and Cud.

God I fucking hate Glastonbury.

Cant wait.

Although I still think the only person its going to really excite is Jo Wiley.

"attracting more young people" thing.

So unsurprised to hear that Jonze is a weakling, no social skills indie loser child.

He ought to post round here!
