at least if they did ATP i would probably be making the 11 hour journey anyway.

i don't think they'll ever play scotland though. what a bunch of xenophobes.

looking forward to seeing this :)

some of them are a bit average though, nevermind

i like paul morley, and i would be interested in reading this article, but i seriously cannot get through more than the first paragraph without laughing too hard to continue. Experimental journalism it may be, but it's also shit.

oh, irony

excellent.

some of you are bitter cunts. She seems like a lovely lady, and clearly doesn't know 'shit all' about music. Nice interview anyway, despite some of the comments beneath.

fuck you DiS, fuck you. (for putting the bands on in a silly order)

i'm too excited about this already, WOOO

in the Edinburgh Evening News, the atmosphere was really good at the festival, no disruptions during the night or anything :( this is really tragic, poor guy. He died in the same hospital i was born in.

now if they had split up, i'd understand all the hate.

I was a cub scout are lovely, you big meanie

'i got bored and went to the pub' isn't that constructive really. I thought they were ace, the guy on whatever that mandolin-like instrument was was absolutely shredding it, awesomeness.

absolutely slayed, if that word can really be applied to animal collective. Probably not, but they really were amazing. I can see why people would complain about them being wanky or noodley, but imo that's one of the best thing about their live sets, it's just like a big wall of noodley wanky intensely awesome sound. Peacebone was incredible though.

Kriek is actually Cherry beer. it's yummy.

'Come In Alone' by My Bloody Valentine, i think. yummy :)

I know someone whose brother is in Sky Larkin. FACT.

this is going to be amazing. Has to be in Berlin doesn't it, chyeah.

personally, i think they're playing far too many dates north of manchester. great.

not for Radiohead. Last year it was only £30! What's happening?

are the Travelling Wilburys?

it shouldn't really matter what kind of label they're on or where they're from. They're still absolutely dire.

all three.

what do i win?

i think i'll be going to that

how did i know who'd posted this article before even clicking on it ;)

thank you for bringing Mika Miko more to my attention, i've been told about them before but never bothered listening (cause i'm an idiot). They're awesome :D even if they do remind me of Mika too much for my liking :(

you twunts :'(

finger lickin'

everyone wants a piece of my chicken

this makes me EXCITED!

i get MORE excited than i thought it was possible to be

if AWK plays i might actually implode. YEAH!

is one of my favourite songs ever, but i haven't heard it in years

van morrison = amazing

this looks like it's going to be absolutely amazing. I'M ALREADY EXCITED! I love Bjork so much <3

i'm going to buy it next friday. YAY!

i saw them a couple of months ago and they were the most shambolic badly put together AMAZING thing i'd ever seen. I'm glad they've been picked up by domino, seems an unlikely pairing!

it's next friday

totally not going then

:'(

cult "classic" velvet goldmine? "Curt Wilde" lolz.

He's had some practice already then.

or something. I'm probably going to end up going to Manchester too.

PEOPLE LIVE HERE!

anyone want to give me free money? please?

go to this. YAY!

i'm THERE

blood red shoes you say? I'm THERE!

i might go to that just to see if anyone actually turns up.

but, it's always the pogues.

i'll have to take out an extra overdraft just to cover the amount of STUFF i am likely to be buying this weekend

oh Yay Tee Pee!

Kieren Webster

i know him, he is an utter twat

and having just listened to their new album, which is absolute gash, i don't hate your eyes quite so much :)

can we swap for a bit, just so i can see trail of dead? :(

BLOOD BROTHERS YES!!! day before my mums birthday though, lamecore. Make an edinburgh date! do iiit!

and a lovely album. I very much agree about having to listen to it repeatedly for it to make sense. Don't own any of the others but i think i'll be searching them out now. Thanks for this, Ben :)

how predictable, but can you get any better than this?
