2008 was the one I went to, I wanted to see The Ting Tings but my friends took forever to do predrinks and we missed them. I spent the night in a huff by the bar, hiding in the toilet and befriending people in the smoking section even though I don't smoke, because am I fuck ever surrending my time and energy to "Joe Lean And The Jing Jang Jong"
my biggest regret in life is that I stuck with the people I met in uni and spent years hanging around crap indie discos instead of making new pals and going to places playing UK funky and r&b

"the box set and reissue music site for overfocussed fans who become instantly psychotic when the Australia only edit of their favourite Kim Wilde 12 inch remix which was included on the 18 disc box set but six years later is reissued cheaply as a one-disc Australia 12" singles collection, and demands their money back"
