D.d.d.d.d.d.d.-DRIVEBY SHOUTING

[Dubversion]

everything else played, bees.

sure you closed the disc / burned it / didn't fuck it up like an idiot hippy?

Option c) is always possible, but I have a feeling the heat on the wed/thursday fucked it - the actual disk was hot to the touch in my tent at one point

 

[Dubversion]

so not ACTUALLy the equipment then?

IIRC you said you were having trouble with lots of discs, not just mine

 

[half_eaten_arm]

[Dubversion]

We're not all as old as you

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

whats 'the lounge'

 

[boing!]

that lineup is making me dizzy.

no major clashes that i can see.

 

[Pieface]

Tinariwen clash w Shirley Bassey.

I'm not sure whether to go and see the good band or have a silly, implausible artist at Glastonbury sunday moment....

 

[editor]

It's going to be Shirley all the way for me. She rocks!

depends on the weather.

 

[Final]

My ticket just got delivered!

woo hoo!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

My ticket just got delivered!

<cue everyone who hasn't had theirs yet having a mild panic>

 

[tastebud]

speshally when your mate keeps threatening to sell your ticket on ebay etc

I'm plumping for the latter

beirut are on right after Tinariwen, which kinda seals it for me. Bassey will be a laugh, but i'm dead keen to see both the other two..

<cue everyone who hasn't had theirs yet having a mild panic>

Every bloody morning I step into me porch and look vainly at the free newspaper-covered floor, only to be disappointed yet again, with a rising sense of panic

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

My ticket just got delivered!

woo hoo!

I got my COACH ticket.. I don't get an actual ticket until I am on the coach.. annoyingly.

 

[boing!]

beirut are on right after Tinariwen, which kinda seals it for me. Bassey will be a laugh, but i'm dead keen to see both the other two..

yeah, not missing beirut, and don't fancy missioning it over from the pyramid straight after shirley so its tinariwen all the way for me.

Now that's a damned shame, Tinariwen were our surprise faves of 2005. Still, seen 'em before so it's Madame La Bassey for us for a bit of tongue-in-cheekery

[Lord Camomile]

Just picked up my copy of the Guardian - first thing I looked for was to see if Bellowhead and The Who clash. They do

Though according to the times The Who start 45mins before Bellowhead so might catch the first bit of their set then peg it over to the Avalon stage to see Bellowhead.

Or, might cut my losses and see if I can see Bellowhead somewhere else - probably cheaper/easier than trying to see The Who somewhere else!

Now to look at the rest...

 

[onemonkey]

gogol Bordello on the Pyramid stage.. jesus, that's going to be mental

 

[Stig]

gogol Bordello on the Pyramid stage.. jesus, that's going to be mental

That's going to be rather good, I think

You really do have to drink an enormous amount of alcohol beforehand to appreciate them properly, I find...

 

[Dubversion]

i dunno, i'd rather see GB on a smaller stage - not possible i know - because the main stage really lacks atmosphere for bands like that

 

[Pieface]

yeah but the pit down the front's going to be scary. I had to get out of the crowd at the academy....

They'll give good telly though - it'll definitely end up on some show with Fearne Cotton being wank on it.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Ooooh, just noticed !!! are on as well

<adds to my list>

 

[corporate whore]

Tis a good line up

*wishes was going*

The John E Vistic Experience on before PROD are worth a look..
