Some genius thought it would be a good idea to have Iron & Wine, No Age, Vampire Weekend, Okervil River & Beach House all to play at 10pm on a Thursday! SUCH IS LIFE! BUNCH OF BEEPING BEEPS!
Probably gonna stick with Okervil River, mainly because Sunset Rubdown are on before them.
Also Times New Viking are playing like 4 times? Im gonna see them at 1AM!
I quite like the listings for Saturday at the Old Market but mannn, damn clashes... at least Yeasayer and Times New Viking are playing mutiple times :D
and yet saul williams is only playing once
such is life indeed.
i know! wierd
think i'll see no age on fri instead of okkervil (seen them before, they were awesome) or maybe see the start of no age and hot foot it over to the pavillion
my predicted saturday:
Silje Nes
Frightened Rabbit
Twilight Sad
Nina Nastasia
Times New Viking
Semifinalists
how good does that look?
I'm going to see Iron & Wine then
I really don't like Vampire Weekend, just so mediocre.
Putting Foreign Beggars on at Pressure Point at 2am on a Friday though? Why? Venue's too small for them considering their huge standing in UK hip hop and the fact that if anyone wants to see them they have to stay in Pressure Point for the whole evening surely going against the whole ethos of the festival.
I will probs pop down to Pressure Point after Okkervil
The majority of people will be stranded at Concorde 2 or Audio & wouldnt go cause seriously, most people that go to Great Escape are locals wantin to see Young Knives and Fratellies
Damn it.
I might have to go to the Thursday night of this. I've got ATP on Friday, and i'm travelling down from Blackpool. Damn, i shouldn't do it.
But Bon Iver, Emmy the Grat and Beach House, is a really smeggingg good night of music.
hmmm
so far i'm thinking
thurs
eugene mcgueness
broken records
sunset rubdown
no age
ting tings and yeasayer
fri
tubelord
Johnny foreigner
crystal castles
ipso facto & black lips
sat
well I want to see all the stolen records gigs but if I venture away from horatios I may catch
wildbirds & peacedrums
Emmy the great
Laura Marling
But at 1am its all about times new viking!
oh
and I want to see twilight sad and frightened rabbit again but can't even see frightened rabbit on there anymore??
