so did anyone see appleseed cast?

 

[plug]

got held up and got there just in time to see them stop playing. think dave wr was there. it sounded pretty deadly from the distance...

 

[Grame]

so did anyone see appleseed cast?

Yeah, I saw some of their set Al. It was, how you say, very 'meh'!
Ron' y 'Cola on the other hand, now that was very 'yum'.

Robocop Kraus - best gig ever
Shellac - Worst thing I've ever seen/heard

also excellent - Dino Jr, YYYs, Why? Yo La Tengo, French Toast

 

[plug]

shit yeah, forgot about the shellac gig. really bad... terrible sound especially. glad it wasn't the first time I'd seen them; that would have been unimaginably disappointing.

everything else I saw was pretty good/great though. think I saw more good stuff last year though... definitely didn't see anything good that I didn't already know this year. except akron/family. wicked awesome.

 

[Ciarán R]

true. and the drinking receptacles were smaller this year. I quickly switched allegiance to "ron y cola" and never looked back. much better booze token/drunk ratio...

this is where things took a turn for the better

WHAT A WEEK
Highlights - Why?Robocop Kraus, Stereolab, Deerhoof, YLT, yYYS, getting five mins of ESG in after Dino J, Boredoms, Not being able to see boredoms due to whiskey making my eyes so blurry, cocktails in cafe flamengo, sound bar-maid at fest given healthy portions of rum for low cost, drinking on the metro, dancing with me hood up....i could go on

Lolights - Shellac was yawny, three quid for shitty beer, er trying to bargain street venders for beer at 3 in the morningdown narrow streets

ROLL ON NEXT YEAR

Oviso pub on Orwell Square

there was a lot of talk about the flamingo bar somewhere off the ramblas, but fuck knows how to find it.

Hmmm, had forgotten that, what a defensive young man. The last time I say that he is no longer a drunkard.
Is this Jimmy btw?

 

[telford collier]

Cafe Flamingo was the shit, great tunes and happy hour that goes on all day three europes for any cocktail. needless to see i walked home upside down, the mochitos were very tasty.

Yo la tengo were such a disapointment i thought they were tripe. Everything else was great: total result

 

[Alan Remorse]

surprised people hated YLT and shellac so much..
what exactly was so bad about their sets?

 

[plug]

no, ylt were really good, even though I was so knackered during them I was having trouble staying awake at points. I kept trancing out during the big extended noisy solos, which was actually very enjoyable! didn't hear anyone else badmouthing them at the festival, quite the opposite in fact.

shellac on the other hand, were lost in the huge indoor venue that they insisted on playing in. the view, and more importantly, the sound, was shit beyond belief. I mean really shit. could barely hear the vocals. that's what ruined it for me... seen 'em plenty of times before anyway.

 

[AMC]

Yo La Tengo were great. It just seemed that all the Irish heads were lamped by the time they came on.

 

[ddmurph]

seen 'em plenty of times before anyway.

you missed em more times though!

 

[chutneyfarmer]

Yo La Tengo were great. It just seemed that all the Irish heads were lamped by the time they came on.

i was totally sober when they came on and they bored the bollix offa me. i was really looking forward to finally seeing them too. such a disappointment. just seemed really uninspired or something. no real life to their set.

nope. gary. i would never, ever, ever tell that guy he's no longer a drunkard!

yea they bored me in the ambassador too

heheh.. zing!

 

[righteous harmony]

was great to see motorhead, even if they did play acoustic guitars at one point! why would anyone go to see dinosaur jr when esg were playing? esg were GREAT. big star was good, glad i didn't go to see shellac. vashti bunyan was great. yo la tengo were good, but lost my attention for about the last half hour. yeahyeahyeahs were entertaining. robocop kraus went down really well. gang gang dance were good once they got going, they seem to have acquired a nutty dancer. enjoyed deerhoof. caught a bit of stereolab. was gee-eyed watching the boredoms, ended up watching the rogers sisters. french toast were good. other stuff was fun. crusties outside the compound made it seem like mad max IV: the booze apocalypse. met quality new people (niamh & alice). expensive booze in the compound was disappointing. smuggling rum in was rewarding.
have a good time all the time
