Jack White?
Azealia Banks?

I actually like some of the other acts too, but I'm too to admit which ones

 

[killer b]

i guess they're ok. but that's literally 3 acts in a massive line-up of the worst filth available to the modern teenager. it'll be horrifying.

So far I've done the Hackney Weekender, Pleasure Gardens Opening. Missed most of the Big Dance stuff. Intend going to both the Africa and Oceana BT River of Music events.

Anyone else milking all of the free stuff?

I've no idea what an 'olympiad' is exactly, but a cultural one sounds fucking irritating.
