Do Ronseal know about this radical new cost-cutting measure?

"Just one cup of tea paints a whole house.
"One cup, one house.
"Ronseal, 'Tea Stain', does exactly what it says on the cup."

Somebody, please, shoot me, now.

my highlight was not going to this rip off corporate 10 euro to find out the running list event- is thumped an independent music resource or ?????

highlights: dozing for 4 hours saturday evening after a long day's shopping, then playing GTA:SA until about 4am, then watching about 7 episodes of Law & Order : Criminal Intent back to back on sunday afternoon.

Does anyone else think Kasabian sound like a cross between Oasis and U2 but with no songs????

Agreed.

 

[Vinnie]

Kasabian make me sad that we live in a free society

Does anyone else think Kasabian sound like a cross between Oasis and U2 but with no songs????

 

[Beanstalk]

More like a cross between The Stone Roses and The Stone Roses.

Not really.
Campag Velocet gone pop.
Punk Paste - What a movement! Them and the lo fidelity allstars, god bless 1998

my friend sparking off a 200 person riot in campsite A
and then stealing all the fire extinguishers from the securities patrol car before lighting many a fire.

Seeing the NME hacks rant on about how mindblowing Kasabian were on the Glastonbury coverage made me remember why I hate most British indie music (post 1993).

The highlight of my weekend was doing productive, domesticated things like repotting house plants and finally finishing assembling my flatpack drawers, although when we got round to it, we couldn't make any sense of the instructions and I'd already thrown out some important parts, so we just hammered in lots of nails with my brand new hammer.

 

[Buzzo]

I think Kasabian are the worstest band ever. So are Razorlight.
The highlight of my weekend was declining a request for Primal Scream in work.

Anyone see Two Lone Swordsmen at Oxegen?
Any use?

 

[lady lucan]

well i got the responses i expected from thumped...
fair enough.

this is an independent music board- but in fairness not all the threads on thumped are discussions on the independent music scene. The oxegen festival for all its faults (and there are plenty) and although mcd run, does offer so much live music over the weekend.. it should be ok to have a thread to discuss if there were any decent bands there...


i thought new order playing joy divisions 'shes lost control' was brilliant, and it was good to hear 'love will tear us apart' and 'blue monday'- since ive never heard these live.
also hearing echo and the bunnymen sing the killing moon and dancing horses live was great.
Was also good to see new bands who played really good sets like the longcut and magic numbers...

oxegen- not everyones cup of tea- but for me, who goes to loads of dublin gigs, i loved it.

[Goodbye]

Highlight of my weekend was discovering how good the film Waking the Dead is after hearing it was crap
That and the dozing in the sun listening to medulla

 

[Anthony]

well i got the responses i expected from thumped...
fair enough....

I think it was just that hardly anyone who posts here went to the thing.

 

[MDR]

I am too old for festivals and other quasi-third world experiences.

 

[Vinnie]

I didn't go. My favourite bands weren't The Curlers and Mad Roundabout. They didn't rock at all and didn't get a really good response from the crowd.

Is his friend a stupid jock wanker, by any chance?
