[La La]

does anyone hear any words whether the site is flooded or not?

according to a rep, drainage is good. according to met eireann, this week is gonna start getting sunnier, with friday being a blinder .|..|

Possible timetable. I'm not sure if it's right, Richie told me they were playing at 7:30 on Friday.

A fairly reliable source gave me the same timetable seems a bit insane, George Clinton headlining from 12-2 sounds a bit odd

seems mbv playing that horrible hole of tent the electric arena

 

[nlgbbbblth]

George Clinton on main stage is something to look forward to. Hope it works out like that,

 

[nlgbbbblth]

clashes for me based on that

Silver Apples vs Grace Jones
Tindersticks vs Underworld

 

[Unclealo]

That's us clashing with 20 mins of MBV

 

[Bold Lump]

Glad MBV aren't playing the mainstage but I can't imagine Hadouken!, Black Lips, Late of Pier or the last 20 minutes of The Gossip will do a whole lot to entice crowds away from the tent. I can see a repeat of last year's Beastie Boys fiasco again.

sounds great

To me too, just didn't think there'd be enough people thinking the same to have him headline the main stage on a Saturday.

Yea... and Sigur Ros on the main stage!! For feck sake.... that'll ruin it...
Thank god I saw 'em last night where they should be seen -
in a small concert hall without any gimps talking the whole way through it...

Piss-poor headlines when you look at it laid out like that!! a bit of laurel-resting this year I think!

Whats the situation with racism at this year's festival?

meet me in front of the sound desk during the sex pistols guy.

 

[Bold Lump]

I think that's a great slot for George Clinton. It'll go down a storm if there's still people hanging on in the field for him.

If i'm there though, I'll be going along to Digital Mystikz at that time.

I saw them in a field about 5 years ago and they were amazing.

On the subject of Sigur Ros. Anyone know what the story with their lineup for the weekend is? It's only going to be the 4 of them on the US tour without the brass section or Ammina and I had been told that EP would be the last gig with the full lineup but I read last week that they'd played some gigs with the stripped down setup already.

 

[Anthony]

LM only clash with oppenhiemer, hmmm, I wanted to see them as well.

I saw them at Benicassim this year, where they had the full line up. ammina, brass section etc. They were also on the outdoor mainstage there which was a bit disappointing. I enjoyed it but it wasn't a patch on the Olympia gig, for eg.

Same for MBV. Speaking of which anyone reckon they'll announce an indoor Irish date post EP?

And with Ulrich Schnauss too according to that time table.


Grr, really want to see the 'Mound and US.

 

[pad]

who all is good to see? i mean there are some good bands, but there's loads of crap as well. what's everyone's choices so far.
i'd like to see large mound and oppenheimer but they're clashing otherwise:
conor oberst
the breeders
giveamanakick
jape
dan deacon
santogold
stephen malkamus
sinead o'connor
sex pistols
and that's about it. anyone got any recommendations? and what's thumped doing on the lineup. what's the story with that? pete?
