Erm, I believe the headliners for the 1st year were
Mogwai, Mercury Rev and Patti Smith, so yeah, the headliners have become a little mainstream this year.
B) Robert Wadlow
I would so laugh if the original poster put the wrong name down as a laugh, then watched as everybody put down the wrong answer.
An amazing festival.
I had a brilliant time, even though I missed TPOBPAH, Jay Reatard, Black Lips, The Vaselines, The Horrors, Chad Vangaalen, Jeremy Jay and some others. I've been getting into all these bands music and it's kinda painful that I missed them. Same again next year?
So the Iraq war is responsible for people listening
to shoegaze? Hahahahahahahaaaahaaaa. Ahahahahahaha.
Ha.
Bit of a weird list.
There's a couple of recent releases which I don't think deserve to be there.
Good to see Kitchens of distinction on there.
Orange Juice
Vanilla Ice
Iron and WIne
Whiskeytown
Blood Brothers
I've been listening to it today.
It's very good, a definite step up after Show your bones.
Bit of a rubbish review. Listing a load of band names doesn't make for good analysis.
Crazy golf, then a milkshake,
followed by some LARPing.
!
"If the likes of Tom Smith and Paul Banks come closer to Ian Curtis sonically, Sketch was the only singer of that whole post punk revival who came close to capturing any of his monolithic presence."
That's rubbish. I like The Organ n'all, but really they're just ripping of The Smiths. To say that they carried considerable weight is laughable.
It's good, but a bit disappointing
after Cryptograms. It seems more stunted and subdued, which I think is a bad thing in Deerhunter's case.
And it sounds alot like Atlas Sound.
It's good, very upbeat,
but not brilliant. Might be a grower.
A) Grasshopper
I haven't actually cheated on this one!
^ That's the way you interpreted it.
I think the Coens cunningly left her fate open to the audience's imagination.
Sorry, carry on with your stories of woe.
I would say that Silversun Pickups are more indebted to
Smashing Pumpkins than MBV.
I've been listening to Film School recently, who are definitley influenced by MBV.
Hey, fuck you Suffolk!
Black Lips and Clinic! Finally some good bands!
Because they had a really good thing
going with their first album and threw it away with some weird country-dominated sound with the second. I'll still look out for the new one though.
I quite liked it!
Reminded me a little of Apollo Heights
"diversity of types"
ha, yeah white middle class families.
I like the record a lot,
and I understand what's she saying but she's being a bit OTT. The album mixes a few genres- hip hop, r'n'b, new wave and electro- so it is unfair to limit it to just r'n'b when for me it errs more on the new wavey side.
GET OUT!
I'd prepared myself for a disaster with ST but it actually reaffirmed my faith in Kelly. I think he's the most promising director out there. Yes, there wasn't much cohesion, it was disjointed, there were odd casting choices- but it was lovably chaotic, experimental and thoughtful. It drew the same feelings as when I first saw Donnie Darko at the cinema.
Give Southland Tales a go.
It is a bit of a mess and has the odd awful moment, but otherwise it's a blast.
Interesting news about Arcade Fire- The Box was sounding a little too conventional Hollywood and this gives it an unusual edge.
I guess the music will be quite toned down.
Shut up you fool.
You have the most boring taste on this site. You're the human equivalent of Mojo magazine.
What a terrible video
It's 'Goldfinger' by the way...
The new record is excellent.
Some good countrified songs.
Good news.
I hope there's a tour to follow.
I can't be bothered to get into another
debate at the quality of the albums-
Interpol are gonna record a new album!
The original title was funnier
and true. It's just a collection of the worst bands from previous years stuffed into one festival.
Yes, that is a truly awful cover.
What were they thinking?
Yes, I too disagree with
the review.
Thankyou.
That video...
FUCKING HELL!
I was so impressed when
I saw them supporting Interpol that I may go the London date. Really great live.
I read the article today
and actually thought it was one of the better things I've read in the OMM, as it's usually smug and generally poor.
The writer did point to a lot of the good, exciting aspects of the bands but also let the reader know the less favourable, snobbish sides to them which other features might not.
Wasn't there
a Tony Scott film called 'The Hunger' or is it the same one?
Not a great review.
I must be one of the only people who thought the sound was good and clear. Much, much better performance than when I saw Interpo at Brixton a couple of years back.
Blonde Redhead were fantastic. Great songs and great chemistry on stage.
Got my tickets for London.
It's so annoying. Left Norwich a month ago and now Foals and Raveonettes are playing there.
I say a), or some times Rav- like ravioli.
Their new songs sound great.
Yeah, so he shouldn't have made that gesture
but I understand his sentiments.
And I'm sure he wasn't just focused on one female audience member, I think he was angry at all of them.
I think he should be applauded.
There are so many idiots at gigs fiddling about with cameras, and video cameras are even worse.
These are probably the same people who decide to talk through the entire gig.
This review is
excellently excellent.

I like Asobi seksu, but this seems a bit cheap.
I've got a signed poster and drawing from Yuki- how much would that be worth £40?
