Bugger... that's the Sunday of ATP, so they won't be around all weekend, just playing the Sat night there... Means I'll definitely have to get to see them at Minehead now.

It's a twist on a northern england saying... m_thomp will fill us in with details of correct usage and pronounciation...

Another grower this... sounds a lot like TV on the Radio...

I'm not sure about "Walken" but "You Are My Face" is an amazing song, really powerful stuff...

I'd read somewhere that Jay was involved, it certainly feels as though he's involved on a couple of tracks. I like the album, it really grew on me. This morning, seems to suit the beautiful sunny day that's greated me:

Yeah, Camber Sands wasn't a nice resort, it's pretty bleak. Minehead is a bit of a drive for me as well, but hey! Who cares

Collection of indoor venues... If there was someone I REALLY wanted to see, I made sure I got there early... which is what I'll be doing for Explosions in the sky, Wilco etc...

The queues... But I'm willing to give it a shot. Even at Camber sands trying to get to see some bands was difficult. When Lightning Bolt were doing their sets they kept a lot of people out of the rooms.

^ that's really, really good...

I don't really have a problem with the festival growing, all successful festivals do so. It's still a heck of a lot smaller than most and the environment will be a lot more relaxed. They've admitted they got a few things wrong with their debut and they've fixed and addressed them ready for this one. I'm not worried about it, I'm very much looking forward to it.

I preferred Sad Songs to Alligator - I thought it was a little too laid back, so hopefully this'll be a bit more up beat!

Two very good albums...
