Let me get this right. This is on now, in a church, and only 80 people can go. But, the 80 people are all bloggers or journalists. And if they get picked to go they boast like fuck about it on twitter. And if they don't get picked they piss and moan about it on twitter.

Have I got it right?

 

[rettucs]

I should qualify this by stating that I'm neither a blogger nor a journalist, nor would have I gone to this if someone gave me tickets, drove me there, and handed me money for sweets.

 

[east hastings]

pretty much, i asked a friend who's playing at it and said that its really hard for them to get tickets cause its just music industry folk that get them. You can get into the gigs in the pub no bother though

 

[rettucs]

but they only show them on the telly in the pub though, right? So you'd be better off saving your travel money by staying home and watching youtube

All the bands that are playing it are mostly shit and journos/bloggers still going ape-shit over it. Guess if you cap the attendance, it makes them feel more special.

they're among the top 80 journo/bloggers in the land. What an honour!

I saw Nialler9 write a review today and thought, isn't it exactly like attending a live taping of Top of the Pops and posting a review? We'll all eventually get to see the crap performances from mediocre 'oh-these-guys-will-be-the-next-big-thing' bands or people you couldn't care less about on the Telly. Other Voices always reminds me of that era when singer-song shit plagued the music scape of Ireland.

 

[rettucs]

Its a version of Top of the Pops that happens once a year and only the elite among us can go.

I agree, its a big load of bollox.

Though I'd like to see the spiritualized set but, in saying that I did see his acoustic set at EP a few years ago so I'm sure it'll be the same, except the crowd won't be as sound

Apparentally..and I have this on great authority fromthe Guardian today no less..but Glen Hansard fucking ROCKED and his guitar even broke down and they were able to pull it off ACOUSTIC and when questioned Glen said LEPRECHAUNS knobbled him and

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE FRAMES DOING BEING LET IN?

A Load of BOLLIX!

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Look at these fucking assholes

Sounds like a pile of pretentious shite.

 

[GO]

I betcha I'm at it next year though.

And I will be SNORTING COKE WITH THE BEST OF THEM.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

EUGH

He can fuck right off too.

 

[Theseus Mock]

double post.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

More assholery.

 

[Theseus Mock]

Hope no journo/blogger finds this thread. We'll all be accused of jealously or something.

 

[GO]

The driving force behind the festival is Cork-born Philip King, an award-winning film-maker, broadcaster, and lead singer with the Irish band SCULLION

I think its time I got a new avatar...the irony is wearing dangerously thin on my current BOZ creation.
