I think he somehow managed to see every band playing!

and I loved every second.

Can I just vote for Future Of The Left anyway?

The whole 'Swin' thing still has me chuckling.

I think the whole room cringed when that one person shouted '500 Miles'.

Other terrible things I heard shouted out at various sets: During FOTL (best band of the weekend), some knocker was shouting constantly "play the fast ones!" even after they played something fast. He then shouted "lightsabre cocksucking blues!" -idiot.

Umm that's the extent of my bad heckle annecdotes actually.

Highlights: Fred Stanley Star, Danan, FOTL, Right Hand Left Hand, Pete & The Pirates, crab-dancing at Twisted to Andrew WK, the ever-so-friendly bouncer in Dempseys, Agaskodo Teliverek, Sweet Baboo, Conan Mockasin, tea in the Rummer, and various other things.

Hopefully my body will recover in time for Swn 2009 :-)

But yes, great weekend. Good toimes.

in a lovely theatre section of the National Museum of Wales.

how do you become trusted?

is going to be in the National Museum of Wales, which is nice.

i voted for Curses.

as what came free with Plan B the other month?

I hate that idiot.

NO BARNSTAPPLE SHOW?

NO RHYL SHOW?

OUTRAGE!

really enjoyed it actually.

terrible name though, when i first saw the name i thought they'd be some kind of hyped london 'scene' band.

and he said "no Cardiff date"

and (probably) guaranteed playlist space?

Nothing.

"There are just three members of ‘security staff’ on duty for the whole weekend, and no reported crimes or thefts of any nature (as we went to press)"

Hehe, that's because the one guy looked like the Terminator!

is actually at the Barfly (for some reason)

it's a bit clash-o-rama for me :-(

probably my computer being rubbs

looks a bit confusing (or am i being a n00b?).

The info on the website stresses that they should have sorted out last year's problems.

Are they going to release a line-up in terms of who's playing when at any point soon? All the information released so far has been in alphabetical order. Would be nice to know who's headlining and try and work out any possible clashes.

and that Fighting with Wire band.

Good thing it’s been cancelled. Here’s DiS directing people towards Cornwall to a festival that was actually happening in South Wales!

that Microcastles has leaked already. I assumed it must be out in a matter of weeks or something. October's aaaaaaages away!

The Gentle Good and Threatmantics getting some praise :-)

come to Cardiff!

I really like Franz Ferdinand

hurrah!

it's great. They're spectacular live.

I think you'll find it's Cate Le Bon you perverts.

I'm meant to be getting a review copy to write about so i'll end up getting this on vinyl i reckons.

Mmmmmm, Sub Pop.

is (I think) a Plan B night, and it also features Lovvers and the brilliant Gindrinker.

The Cardiff show has the also brilliant Threatmantics in support. I will be in attendance.

so maybe that's why.

I've got my copy on order at my friendly neighbourhood record shop.

isn't that out this week as well?

has support from Gindrinker, and maybe Lovvers as well.

nice to see them getting some attention. top stuff.

Nirvana, when I was about 11, got me into rockier/punkier/metalish stuff. Then I got a bit sidetracked on nu-metal and all that. On the plus side, it also got me into the Pixies.

My 'indier' leanings came when I first heard the Strokes when Modern Age came out.

someone was trying to organise a Cardiff gig. Ah well, could be a trip to Brizzle.

oops.

they're playing Cardiff on the 21st. It even says so on the right hand column bit of DiS that's a gig guide of sorts.
