Highlight: Arcade Fire. Stunning, can't praise them highly enough. There was no duff performances or anything to complain about. Boutique is right, it was like they'd just stocked all the best bands and gone for it. Fantastic like.
Ronan, a thousand apologies, I missed Backlash. How was it?
Online buying albums right now, damn you music festival with your hidden costs afterwards!

Who's going this year? I am so there again but three nights?! I'm not a machine!!!
― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Friday, 24 March 2006 12:44 (eighteen years ago) link
I don't see Backlash this year again. Ronan, are you going to be added later?
― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 10:13 (eighteen years ago) link
I am playing at either this or the forthcoming Garden Party thing, haven't got confirmation yet. Should be a real laugh either way.
Am definitely going even if not playing.

What did you think of last year? Had such a great time just pottering around. This year I will definitely see Backlash, I promise. I might swing by Rogue (it is there yeah?) on a Thursday to get a taster. Look for the fellah yelling for minimal beats, bobbins and shit!

It'll be fun but for three days? Loadsa baby wipes for sure!

Line up still a bit patchy.
I can't tell if I'm more excited about this or Daft Punk. If only the two could be combined in one huge robotic electric mess!

Was really excited about Shadow. Then I heard the album. He was boring last time I saw him but I hoped the new stuff would be a bit more active. Maybe he'll have to compensate for not having all those guest stars. Just so long as he doesn't talk...
I should've gone to Garden Party :( Was chatting to someone who went down for the day. Next year baby, next year.

Worth mentioning that eery time I've seen Devendra recently, he's pulled up a member of the audience halfway through the gig, and let them play a song of their own. And every time he said 'That was beautiful, man'. What a sweetheart. How come no-one's taken advantage of this yet and busted out Pantera's "Fucking Hostile"? That's what I'd do.
Assuming Shadow can make the new album sound a bit more coherent live, he should be great - does anyone know if he's bringing vocalists with him?
If Sparks do 'Hasta Manana, Monsieur', the weekend will have been worthwhile.If Pet Shop Boys do any of their first 20 singles, the weekend will have been worthwhile.
Hot Chip were kinda dull last time I saw them, but I really like the new album so I'm giving them a second chance.
A bit bummed out that theres a lot of rubbish Irish bands on, but no Thread Pulls/Cap Pas Cap. Booo!
But y'know: PJ Harvey, dEUS, SpankRock, Mogwai, Massive Attack, New Order, Super Furry Animals, Gang Of Four, Bloc Party, Yo La Tengo, Broken Social Scene, 2 Many DJs, mad Professor, Andrew Weatherall, Semifinallists, Basement Jaxx, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gnarls Barkley, Laurent Garnier, Rufus Wainwright, Coldcut, Saul Williams, Metro Area.... it's going to be fucking wicked.

Lads, FAP? Or is that just madness at a festival but if they can do it at Glastonbury surely we can manage it in the confines of EP!
Are New Order any good live? Ronan, who are Metro Area?
― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 3 August 2006 11:03 (seventeen years ago) link
New Order can be great live. Metro Area are NY-based house producers, one of whom is Morgan Geist. And that man is Godlike in the world of dance music production. It's going to be slinky and beautiful.
― Ruairi Wirewool (Ruairi Wirewool), Thursday, 3 August 2006 11:27 (seventeen years ago) link
Oooo I'll go to that so. Glad to hear that about New Order.

It's not the little bit of rain, it's the heavy showers we've had over the past couple of days and lack of dry house to hide in that worries me!

Metro Arena were nothing special (sorry) and had to leave early to see Hot Chip who were a bit dissapointing.
Drove back last night, had to skip Basement who sounded savage on the radio. Woke up in my own bed, dry for what felt like the first time in weeks, I enjoyed having something that could flush!
I am traumatised by portaloo, angered by general lack of banklink and no drink in bars after 22:30. I ate well though, better than when I'm at home!
Thoughts anyone? Who was great and what was less than pleasing?
― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Monday, 4 September 2006 10:36 (seventeen years ago) link
Hot Chip who were a bit dissapointingI ain't surprised. Did you camp? Was it mushy wet?
― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Monday, 4 September 2006 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link
we should think about a Dublin FAP again... maybe I will be there this time.

I found it pretty manky, not muddy but gad, thanks for wellies etc! Next time: Quiet camping or a beach hut. Fuck this nature bullshit with noisy northerners all taking drugs and playing Drum and bass all night. I must be getting old ;)
DV: I'll revive the thread on ILE or you can. We were thinking Kennedys the last time. Everyone who can make it, come. DV is like our very own Godot!
Major Alfonso: That's rough, sorry. At least you're not homeless.

So, EP is almost upon us again. Anyone going this year? Unfortunately hardly any of my mates bought tickets this year due to a few being out of the country or not impressed by the lineup. So it's just me, my girlfriend and my best mate. Should still be a great weekend.
Top 5 acts I want to see -
My Bloody Valentine Sigur Ros Digitalism Cut Copy Digital Mystikz
