Festivals

[V-Pig]

As none of you may know, Queens of the Stone Age are playing at an otherwise dismal Glasto 11.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/zanelowe/queensofthestoneage/index.shtml

The above is a link to vote for your favourite of their songs. They'll play the top 10 voted for at the festival.

I picked Go With the Flow because it sexified Reading 2008.

When are Kings of the Ice age playing, twas an altogether better era.

We had a mammoth defence back then.

you are very funny, because there were no Kings (or emperors or queens) in the ice age and also because era means a historical time period. i got all the ice age films for christmas in a box set. i got a free fridge magnet with it. i put it on the side of the microwave though.

[V-Pig]

Thinking about getting into Wu-Tang Clan and Biffy Clyro in the short space between now and Glasto.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Biffy Clyro. :lol:

I'd vote for a top 10 of QOTSA and all but the BBC will just cherry pick the best known ones.

[V-Pig]

It says they're choosing based purely on the votes that come in... I hope.

I love Grohl's drumming, I really do.

[V-Pig]

It's pretty sexy. Dunno if he still does it, but he used to swap with Taylor for a bit in the past few years.

[The Wengerbabies]

Beyonce's headlining Glastonbury this year, no? Don't like her new song but she has an impressive back catalog, quite a scalp for a small gig.

[V-Pig]

Awful WUM there.

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/glastonbury/2011/lineup.shtml#

There are hundreds of acts, 95% of them a lot more credible and likeable than some miming bint.

I mean for when it comes to broadcasting it, for those who would be watching it on tv of course.

Yeah definetely Go With The Flow. Its my favourite of their songs (although there are a lot of others that come close to it).

[V-Pig]

I'm gonna see Jimmy, yeah.

I picked Go With the Flow because setlist.fm says they haven't been playing it in their recent gigs, so I was worried it needed to be voted for. However, thinking about it, it's easily one of the top 10 most popular in the UK so I should've used my vote for something less popular.

I'll vote again at work.

[LDG]

Jimmy are at Reading too :d

Dunno why I'm going to it....mainly Muse and Pulp I guess...Frank Turner's there again, also Jane's addiction might be a better headliner to watch than The strokes <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sonisphere at Knebworth is being shown on Sky Arts apparently.

[V-Pig]

So what's so bad about Biffy? I've only just started listening to them really, but they seem okay. There's a lot of indie shit out there. I've listened to about half a dozen bands I thought might be promising. Most of them are described as "indie" by wikipedia and they're all shit. They're so bland and boring and the singers sound like the guy from The Bravery with the same echo-y effect of The Killers.

I'm looking forward to seeing The King Blues again though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They talk bollocks, try to be interesting with some random off-shoots in a song and basically aren't. Plus they destroyed 'Buddy Holly' so for that they should be annihilated.

[V-Pig]

Oh yeah, I think I heard that cover and was disappointed.

I don't much admire them for their music integrity or intelligence, but I've been listening to bland indie and at least they have some vague balls.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why were you listening to bland indie? :ninja:

[V-Pig]

To try and find something worth seeing on the main stages of Glasto. Might have to go to the same stages that host The King Blues though, try and see some punk/ska/alt-type bands.

[V-Pig]

There is so much dross out there. It's depressing as a motherfucker. They all have the same boring, distorted voice, but no distortion on their guitars. Why does no one try and sound like Black Sabbath any more? Except Wolfmother, but they couldn't do the solos.

On the other hand, just got 72 lagers, a bottle of whisky and suncream delivered.

Festival season is on the way :dance: Nothing prepares me for a festival like warm Carlsberg.

The founder of Glastonbury Festival, Michael Eavis, has said booking the Wombles was "a bit of a mistake".
He said: "I've got about 25 stages and managers and bookers for each of the stages. I can't control every single one of them but I do get cross about that kind of thing."

[GP]

Enjoy!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-13702105

One of the better Glastonbury acts, tbh

[LDG]

If you're high and off your tits, I should imagine they'd be awesome to watch tbf.

[Nozza!]

Oi, mush, and if the crowd tries to bottle them off stage the wee furry funsters will just pick them up for recycling...the more that are thrown the longer they'll stay on...

Think this is more your sort of festival...

The best way to enjoy EVERY ACT of a festival, tbh.

[LDG]

Good point.

Might get a ticket to Primal Scream at the Eden Sessions. Screamadelica live on a fuckin skyrocket :bow:

[LDG]

Got me Reading Tix.

Muse :bow:

Pulp :bow:

That's all I'm going for really :lol:

Is Squealy Claire going with you?

Have you told your fuckbucket about SC yet?

[Letters]

fuckbucket?! :lol:

No, I did invite SC before I met the missus. She initially said yes but then realised she had a hen weekend so can't make it.
So MrsL is coming with my niece (the one you met) and another friend.

[V-Pig]

Just decanting my whisky into plastic bottles for festival consumption. Beer locked and loaded, army trousers at the ready, garland of flowers - check. Glasto, baby!

Mindless Optimism Clique banner not packed yet?

Do it or GTFO.

[V-Pig]

I've got a Rage Against the Machine flag? The machine could be pessimism?


Glasto...nbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts, baby!

I'm leaving shortly, baby!

[Master Splinter]

I saw Beyonce murdering other peoples' songs on BBC2.

Probably still better than U2 and Coldplay though.

vpgreg :pal:

[Letters]

U2 play Glastonbury for the first time.
Someone commits suicide in a portaloo at the festival for the first time.

Co-incidence? You decide...

[LDG]

Reading 2012 announced.

Might leave it this year.....

[Dog Toffee]

Crap line-up. Apart from The Shins, who rule.

Ive been to Reading 5 times, but never since I was 19. And a lineup like that wont pursuade me.

[GP]

Coheed and Cambria :bow:

haha lol jk they suck

[WMUG]

Bilbao BBK

The Cure
Snow Patrol
Bloc Party
Radiohead
The Kooks
Mumford & Sons

I thought the library was free

[Syn]

Big Chill's been cancelled this year. Though it was becoming very shit and we mightn't have decided to go anyway.

[Coney]

I thought the library was free

You should be booked for that joke.

[LDG]

Am off to the IOW festy this year. More a drinking weekend tbf, as there's some utter gash on.

Mind you, I get to go and see Lana Del Ray. And she is fucking smokin!!!

[Letters]

:woohoo:

Got tickets to the Sunday of Hard Rock Calling.
Jimmy Cliff is supporting, Paul Simon headlining, he's teaming up with Ladysmith Black Mumbsomething and doing the whole of Gracelands.

Letters is excited :dance:

Quite.

[V-Pig]

I wanted Download tickets so I could see Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Metallica and Prodigy etc. But couldn't get the time off work. I'm raging against the machine.

[Letters]

V-Pig! :hug:

[V-Pig]

:hug:!

[Letters]

Don't see you round these parts much these days, hope you're keeping well.

[V-Pig]

Yeah, good thanks. Got a reasonably good job now, working a 24-hour shift rotation for the police. I've been doing a lot of training and working for the last few months, so it's been a bit hectic. I've haven't had time to do more than pop in here now and then. How's it all going?

[Letters]

Well, quieter than we'd like but otherwise fine. Arsenal's season has been a bit of a roller-coaster, the Mindless Optimism Clique was devoid of members at one point but we clearly weren't mindless enough as we might end on a high after all.

[V-Pig]

Haha, yeah, wish I'd been reading some more of the post-match threads. I'll try and get on here more often now I've settled down a bit. I know my many pessimistic friends will get sad otherwise...

3rd place! It's our first! We're England's Valencia!

:lol:


Racist <_<

[V-Pig]

Already seen him, at Glasto.

Although I'm not sure if he saw me.

:tumbleweed:

[Letters]

:d

Seen him a couple of times, once at the O2 a couple of years back and the other time 2 years ago in Hyde Park, same year he played Glasto.

He was all kinds of awesome, won't he going to the IoW as
a) It's on the IoW
b) The rest of the lineup both sucks and blows.

[V-Pig]

Pearl Jam, Tom Petty, The Darkness. I've seen worse, tbf... At least there's a bit of variety. Don't think I'll get to a festival this year, since I started my job in Feb so all the good annual leave was already taken. Now THAT both sucks and blows.
