Tesco sold Pieminister pies for a while. I must have been the only one buying 'em as they stopped.

who did they support again? I was at that gig whoeever it was. Radiohead maybe?
To be fair I love them and I'm not sure I could name more than half of their songs. Their titles must be the most infinitely forgettable in music. nothing comes up to the standard of "Stupid Prick Gets Chased By Police and Loses His Slut Girlfriend" or "Let's Face It Pal, You Didn't Need That Eye Surgery"Of all the people I know who will most likely go to the Electric Picnic festival, I'd be 99.9% sure that not a single one of them could name me an MBV song. So going and having to listen to them spoof on about them would piss me off. In fact even just thinking about how they'll be excited about seeing MBV over the next few months but won't actually bother to listening to them is already pissing me off. They're already at it on Facebook.
Eventually when you do have to eat to not die it's the €7 that you have to pay for the scaldy bacon roll that really feels torture. Pieminister can fuck right off as well €8 for a ready made pie some smash and gravy that's just MSG and brown ? Me hoop.Who the fuck goes to eat at festivals? I was at EP in 2005 and the only thing I ate was the fruit and sambos I had packed (my mum told me to bring them - good call), some class of a horrible sausage/rasher combo the next morning, a small tray of chips and a load of beer with some E. The best thing about the kip in the intervening 8 years seems to be Pieminister. Fuck that.
black velvet band, deacon blue, aswad, tracy chapman, hothouse flowers.
Well that's precisely my point. You and several others on this thread clearly don't 'get' what generally passes for a music festival these days. So to single out EP and call it shit when, in it's field (no pun), it's actually a first-rate is unfair I think.
I don't think it's unfair for me to state why I personally don't get EP in a thread called 'Festivals I don't get," and it's not because I hate festivals. Pitchfork is awesome, Lalapaloozas were fantastic, The Tibetan Freedom Festival so much fun and Primiavera incredible. I assume SXSW would be great. I've never been to Cochella but I have a feeling I would put it with my 'meh' EP reaction. You are stuck in a field for three days so you have to eat the food unless you carry in a huge cooler and even then, you'd have to go all the way to your tent to get it. Perhaps your experience is different because you are part of a huge group of music fans. So that communal feeling is there because of who you are around not the actual experience of the festival itself? Or we just have different outlooks. Or maybe I'm just too old and have lost that just let loose attitide a bit too soon? I like to be able to sleep (without drunk people pissing on my tent) cook my own food of ridiculously good ingredients and have my stomach filled before I go to drink good wine (that I don't need to smuggle in) and listen to bands for the next 7 hours before going back to a nice clean bed and a shower. Rather than walking around cold, damp, drinking sludge, surviving on green chicken curry and ice cream (which is all I can eat there) and feel dirty. I don't get choosing EP over spending a little bit more money to see better line up (with a lot of cross over) and have a better time in the sun. Granted, EP is probably one of the better Irish festivals but I don't get spending the money for it. Both times I've gone it was because it was free. I wouldn't go otherwise.

I've lost the energy to go all ARGO.
