Man, this is a researchers dream. You couldn't get a demographic this distinct all together in one place if you tried. If ever you wanted to conduct a nuclear test, or see how the plague's been hanging about for centuries, this is the time and place.

I can't remember what Hooton 3 Car sounded like
Kinda like a poppier Leatherface iirc.
I'd also go and watch the Terrys. Brandon Block made me lol, while I was at university some guy in my hall of residence had booked him to DJ somewhere and he didn't turn up, so the guy who booked him started a rumour he'd died and there was some minor controversy around it.

The amount of drugs he used to take, I'm amazed he's made it to 2018 tbh

In 1996 his lifestyle began to catch up with him and he was diagnosed with tuberculosis after visiting India the year before. He was also addicted to cocaine and was forced to withdraw from DJing for six months. There were even rumours of his death after hoax postings on the Internet.
That'll be it

didn't he go to ibiza one year as a fat man and finish the summer as a very thin man, having basically eaten nothing but drugs for months?

One of these acts is responsible for two of the greatest British singles of the last thirty years - though I’m sure there are more enjoyable scenarios for seeing N-Trance available.

stopping in the dance tents would be the only viable option here obv but there's a more viable option
y'know, i thought long and hard before i posted. "not another Britpop thread," i thought. "Just K pushing the same old buttons, no need for the umpteenth pile-on," i thought. "Let people enjoy what they like," I thought. "I'm sure this doesn't represent the sum total of what Britpop gave to the culture," i thought. "it's just tedious whining about these also-rans who are totally different to all the great things that Britpop brought into the world," i thought.
then i had a couple of rums and a morning bopping around in the shower to Iron Maiden and fuck it, here i am.

The South; supposedly ex members of The Beautiful South but.. anyone?
Alison Wheeler (Vocals), Gaz Birtles (Vocals), Phil Barton (Guitars), Steve Nutter (Bass), Dave Anderson (Drums), Karl Brown (Percussion), Gareth John (Trumpet), Su Robinson (Sax) and Andy Price (Keys).
When The Beautiful South split in 2007, some members of the band didn’t feel ready to hang up their microphones or instruments just yet…The South feature former members of The Beautiful South including singer Alison Wheeler and lifelong sax player Gaz Birtles.Since original singer Dave Hemingway left the group earlier this year, Gaz has now moved across to vocal duties. They play the songs made famous by The Beautiful South and bring back the full flavour and excitement with the nine piece live band.
Come on! Let’s Carry On… Regardless!

Off the back of the Guardian article I am staring at another one of these festivals. I must be maturing, calming down, because it fills me with questions rather than horror. Would I enjoy the Primitives and Darling Buds less when they're sandwiched between Back to the Planet and Bentley Rhythm Ace? In fact, wouldn't it have been better to get Senser and Back to the Planet on the same day? Would a Cud fan be offended that they're further down the listing than Kingmaker (for a day)? Is it contractual that eg Chris Helme isn't Chris Helme (The Seahorses) but Miles Hunt is Miles Hunt (of the Wonder Stuff)? Why are The Beat there? idk, I have no answers.

Eurgh.
I laughed a bit @:
Luke Haines: At the time I thought most of it was garbage. Now I think some of it was quite groovy. Menswe@r were good and they made a disastrous second album – a country album – that was only released in Japan. I rate them highly for this.
Otherwise, we’ve seen it all.
