  1. I thought I liked Beirut, but the more records they make, the more ambivalent I become, and, listening to the new one, I keep wishing they could just add some meat. So, while they were a big attraction to me for my first EOTR years ago, before they withdrew, I'm no longer all that bothered.

    The alternative is the Fall. I don't like the Fall, never have. Don't dislike 'em either, they just do nothing for me. My problem is that right from the start, Friday will be brilliant, up until the big boys come on, when I will be happy to have a sit and a warm by the fire.

    Trouble is my mate loves the Fall, and as I am not bothered about the opposition, I will feel a duty to support him in reliving his distant youth. So I need to familiarise myself with their shit. Anyone have a playlist of songs that the genius Mancunian might play so I cam learn 'em and growl along?

  2. I'm not sure I like the idea of a notice board, part of the charm is having a wander over and seeing what is occurring. Mind you I have only ever caught 2 acts here, Alasdair Roberts band, who were brilliant, and some Icelandic kid whose name escapes me and had to whisper so as not offend Iron and Wine.

    Is this why there is nothing else on when Joanna Newsome is on, so that her delicate beauty is not sullied by the noise of others?

  3. Oh dear - that is one of my must sees gone.....not that I am short of them....but it is one of my few "late-in-the-evening" must-sees.

    It is weird how many of the bands I really want to see are on at lunchtime or early evening.

  4. Went with the family in 09 and it was great, chilled relaxed, and we were happy to let the kids wander around, convinced that it was relatively safe environment. Didn't take the kids last year and on the Sunday, I commented to my mate that for a festival that is legendary for its chilled vibe, there seemed to be a fair few dickheads about. Not enough to spoil anything, but more than I had noticed the year before. It also struck me that I wouldn't have been so happy for the kids to wander about unsupervised, as the place seemed so much busier.

    Still can't wait for this year though…………..I hope Pieminster have taken account of the increased numbers!

    Anyone know where this new stage is going to be yet?
