I'll raise your "couple of good tunes" and say "a couple of good albums" [Marchin' Already / Moseley Shoals].

I'm absolutely baffled by the continuing hatred towards OCS although it does always seem to come from a certain type of hipster. Paul Weller garnered the same loathing after Stanley Road [primarily NME hatchet jobs] and a number of his critics freely admitted to not actively listening to the material they were supposed to despise.

OCS and Weller get the thumbs up from most mods / freakbeat dudes and r'n'b groovers. Which is just as it should be. I've a lot more in common with those guys than some bearded chinstroking indie snob.

LOL that this post implies Jim Carroll is a 'hipster'.

My 6th attendance and up there with the best. Bjork's set was probably the best thing I've ever seen there. Savages not too far behind.

Would like to have seen both of them
Saw the first few songs by the Knife and thought they were deadly. My wife, however, thought they were "fucking shite" so I ended up not catching all of their set. Anyone else see them?

David Byrne and St Vincent? Yeah that was awesome.

Enjoyed the Knife. Missed the start of their set but. Closing with 'Silent Shout', can't go wrong with that.

The start of their set was 15 minutes of that bloke who looks like Kenny Everett taking everyone through an aerobics routine. You probably saw him when he came back out later for that little gay-rights gesture.

Anyways, the highlight for me was the rubbish, but still deadly, dancing to this;

Haha, is that actually the thread title? Didn't see it but totally not surprised. Wasn't too gone on the album when I heard it first but they were incredible live. Really bought into it despite myself.
