[pennimania]

Nope

William don'tthink I can manage Womad as well right now.

 

[William of Walworth]

Shedloads more detail now about the new Shangri La zone (replacement to Lost Vagueness). That press release was just released yesterday.

Check it out, no time to comment at the moment ...

 

[William of Walworth]

And in more personal news, we just found out this morning that we've just had our deposit cheques cashed for our jobs, so I think we can confidently hope that we'll get official confirmation very soon now ...

Crappest time of month possible for £170= each to leave our accounts -- we're not paid til midweek next week -- but whateva, we're very nearly IN I think ...

Note sunshine ...

[El Jefe]

Very droll. The reason I can see my tent is cos it's in the very cool Dance Backstage where I was getting paid good money mostly to hang with my mates.

So not so noob

Very good

 

[William of Walworth]

Have to admit that doctored image is quite a laff ... even though it's from bouncer!

Not sure of year of the pic I pulled, original source doesn't say, but 2004 seems right ....

Nice to know you'll be there again after all ... see you at the Bus!

We're getting excited ....

'getting'?

Oh and there's always another year for WOMAD -- 2011 perhaps ....

 

[pennimania]

Excited?

I'm already torturing myself about when the tickets will arrive! Entered my details on the tracker and it said no record!

Then I realised not only had I put the postcode in wrong but I had also messed up the ref number. @ self.

[Augie March]

Also, Very Special Guest TBC is a great name for a band.

 

[cliche guevara]

It's a solid line-up, but there's nothing special about it. Glastonbury normally has something that no other festival can offer, I can't see that here.

Leonard Cohen?

 

[cliche guevara]

Leonard Cohen?

I was thinking Kylie.

 

[Tort]

Leonard Cohen?

He's at The Big Chill too!

 

[bluestreak]

it's a bit hit and miss, but no worries, i normally see far more on the wee stages.

 

[JTG]

There's only Massive there that I wanna see but it's like that most years. usually spend all my time in the dance field or bimbling around places like the Leftfield, Avalon, Greenfields etc

 

[Augie March]

He's at The Big Chill too!

Just checked that line-up, looks ace.

 

[Sunray]

If nobody has seen him, then check out Seasick Steve as he is pretty decent, even if your not into that sort of music.

 

[JTG]

actually I wouldn't mind seeing him

Line-up has been supposedly leaked to NME.com. According to them, it'll look something like this:

It's been ripped from Q.

It's accurate by all accounts, but not complete by any means, nor necessarily correct concerning the order of acts either.

I'm not too fussed. My worst beef is with the likely clash between Massive Attack and Buddy Guy (not on the above list) on the Saturday. When the whole caboodle is released officially at midnight tomorrow --ie a minute after 23:59 Tuesday 29th, it would seem, rather than a day later as previously thought -- then we'll get the complete and full pricture including most of the smaller stages ...

There's a lot of petulant whingeing elsewhere, today, about the lineup being 'shit' this year and how 'Eavis' should sort it out. What most of these lineup obsessed fuckers fail to appreciate is that what's known from these early leaks, and on previous rumours, is only incomplete. And that if they can't be open/flexible enough to get away from the main stages and if they're too lazy to wander about at times and check out new/unknown stuff on unfamiliar stages and at random, they probably shouldn't be at Glastonbury ...

And another thing ... people who crap on about how 'Eavis' should do this, how 'Eavis' should sort that out, how 'Eavis' is 'shit' because he hasn't booked MY FAVOURITE ACT!!!1!!!!1!!, they're as immature (as 'Dogburger' elsewhere pointed out) as football fans demanding the manager's sacking after a couole of indifferent results.

Comment like I have on the above lines though, and you'll be accused of being an uncritical Glastonbury worshipper who can't deal with any criticism whatsoever and who wonpt hear of the possibility that 'Saint Eavis' is in any way wrong and who's 'intolerent' of any criticism of their beloved festival .... for objecting to/correcting particular factual errors in inaccurate ill informed virulent shite.

You are in a monothought clique in fact ...
