MBV ATP - any reports? (1 Viewer)

i've heard a good bit of grumbling about the headliners...

I thought they were great. Only saw the Friday night though. They were a little more disorganised/ less tight than I'd seen them at the Manchester reunion gig but still sounded great. Shields was talking to the crowd which was weird.

Saw MBV every night and thought they were great. Didn't have the same impact as it did the first time I saw them though.

Everything paled into insignificance compared to Fucked Up though. Best. Show. Ever.

Heard it's shit. Full of Brits. Everything is wet. You can't get any good Falafel and there aren't enough Jazz fusion bands. Most people want to come home early but the Ryanair flights are only available if you agree to have a 747 shaped drilldo rammed in your anus and set on Hammer. Apparently many are weighing up the pros and cons because the English keep sining "it's coming home it's coming home" and going on about getting a replay against Argentina in a mocking tone. It's all gone tits up and MBV keep doing Cast and Ocean Colour Scene covers and playing accoustic sets.


That's what I heard.

Good god you're one dull cunt aren't you? You don't like the english, either join the ra or fuck off.

You take the internet very seriously don't you sir?

The internet is a serious business.

Yes thats why I'm giving you an accurate unbiased report on a festival that I'm not at, based on first hand accounts that I haven't heard and facts that don't exist. My Ra membership card is in the post by the way, can't wait to get down to some liberating my brethren with my new "car bombings for dummies" work book which came as part of the new introductory provo offer that you can find at

MBV were better each night, I thought. A good bit quieter last night so you could actually hear some singing. Other than that, a lot of bands well past their best. Mascis and his amazing and enormous bassist was great. I enjoyed some Pastels, EPMD, and Fucked Up too. No good hangout places to compare with the Queen Vic in Minehead. Wouldn't be in a rush back.

This is the big problem I have with Minehead. If you're not actually watching a band it's completely crap.

new material played?

(not bloody likely)

Aye. And there were big sections of the bill where I'd not much interest in the bands onstage. Yawn.

He didn't happen to mention what happened to those remasters of Isn't Anything or Loveless? They were reviewed in some of the monthly mags last year, but never showed up...

I thought it was great, enjoyed veryone I saw, thought Lightning Bolt were immense, you get out what you put in.

You get out what you put in? How does that make sense? Unless you just go to nothing. Surely you enjoy or do not enjoy depending on your taste?

This might seem like an obvious and therefore stupid question but are you not freezing all the time at this yoke?

I kind of know what Big Homeless means. Was at an amazing Radiohead gig a few years ago, where these dudes were hanging at the back, holding their coats and drinking crap beer, while giving out about how disappointing it all was.
