(*sort of)

How kosher is this?

 

[Alan Latchley]

Erm, I read it somewhere else this morning. Flaming Lips, Daft Punk, Air and Chemical Brothers also lined up.

 

[Gambra]

sounds like wild speculation.
sorry to be mr cynical, just i want to be the dude that breaks the lineup to my mates first. dont wanna get it wrong y'know.
its one big popularity contest.

 

[clive]

yeah, this reunion has been rumored for a lonnnnng time. I wonder if they can put their differences behind them ? Frank Black and Kelly Deal havn't been on speaking terms for over a decade now. If this goes well for them they is talk of a full reunion tour, roll on !

 

[Drop-d Showcase]

are the lips playing again foe definite?


what do you mean sort of officially?

 

[Flux]

If they play, I hope the Lips change and extend their fucking setlist.

 

[bloopitybloop]

Pixies would be brilliant at it.. I've never gone to an EP mainstage headliner, so this would be excellent.

Flaming Lips are playing Cork in July..

 

[flashback]

I saw them in NYC there a while back. Decent gig in fairness. Kim Deal was wearing a Rugby League jersey...


I would see them again if that was teh actual line up. Fo sho.

 

[Squiggle]

I saw the Pixies in the Phoenix Park a few years ago - and I thought they were amazing. They just played song after song with Kim chain smoking ciggies provided by a roadie the whole time... he'd run out and stick a cig in her mouth and then when she needed to sing she'd spit it out, stamp on it, do her bit and another ciggie would 'magically' appear from backstage when she'd finished. Hilarious.

 

[flashback]

Yeah there was an element of smoking going on alright.
And... thinking back now... the guitarist lad was fucking amazing.


What's his name. With his shaven head. [SIZE=-1]Joey Santiago. Yeah. Pretty fucking good lads.
