  2. Daft Punk - What's so great about them

    Love the first LP.

    People are slagging of the 2nd LP but the 2nd LP means wifey would want to see them. If I played her Homework she wouldnt set foot near the place biggrin.png .

    There are a couple of the third that are ok, my 72 year old mum loves "Technologic" biggrin.png, not sure what that says about the band

    I saw them in Leeds years ago and they were brilliant.

  7. Greatest Albums

    Prince to me is a little like New Order. Easier to enjoy as a singles or "best of" artist. I have a couple of his records, but I agree, he hasnt made a consistent record since "Sign 'O' the Times".

  8. Greatest Albums

    For me its

    The Velvet Underground & Nico IMHO the greatest album of all time, with Heroin being the greatest song of all time (this is the point in the thread were Neil tells me how bad they were live tongue.png )

    Years ago I bought a book from Austicks in Leeds called Rock Primer (it cost me a whole 30p) http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/0140464654.

    Its goes through different genres, first explaining their origins then recommending first singles then albums. The punk section starts in the 60s and this is where I read about VU. I had never heard anything by them at the time but when I read the review and it said they were the godfathers of punk, I thought sod it and went out and bought a copy. Imagine my surprise when Sunday Morning came on blink.png

    I absolute adore this album biggrin.png

    also from the book I discovered BB King's live at the regal, so it was the best 30p I ever spent.biggrin.png

    ps

    Pink Floyd's greatest album for me is Wish You Were Here

    and for Nick Cave its No More Shall We Part

    For those still struggling on Windows 7 PCs

    Click start button

    In "search programs and files" type notepad

    when notepad appears in your menu, right click on it and the left click on "Run as administrator"

    when notepad opens, click "file" then "open"

    navigate to "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc" then change box in the bottom right from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)"

    you will then see "hosts" file, open it and do the edit

    Then "File" then "save"

    HTH

    Neil, I have a real sense of deja-vu here, didnt you ban the TITP forums last year, or did I dream that ?

    I sort of remember people starting their own TITP forums, which was basically all the people you had banned from here just slagging you off and not much talk of TITP :lol:

    I agree with flip though, it would be better to merge all the TITP threads, I like to read about the little festivals, they are usually full of nice helpful people :)

    Went last night (saturday), went by coach, we arrived early, so went looking for a pub. Only one we could find was Heaton Park which had food stalls & a DJ, £3 to get in then when in it was £4.50 a pint :nono: and out side bar that ran out of all draught beers (at the same time?) and started selling cans at £4 a pop (which they opened), you should really avoid that pub.

    We thought the supports were poor, beady eye had a couple of good songs, and everyone loved the oasis covers ;)

    IMHO the roses started strong, then it went a bit flat for a few songs, but fools gold was unbelievable, and for the rest of the set just blew me away, loved it

    Bars were a joke but if you walked you could always get a beer without much queue (10 mins was the longest we queued), toilets had vast queues, but as fcum said there was un-signed posted urinal areas (the big red things next to the toilets), and there was a couple of toilets in the pit area

    Food was the usual fare, except we all had 6 small spring rolls for £2 which we though was excellent value, but my lads mate threw up nearly straight after eating them, me & my lad was ok though, so you pay your money and take your chance :)

    Mudwise, I had walking boots on, but my lad and his mate had trainers on, but it wasnt that bad. The pit had a mat down, and the only muddy bit was in the urinal areas, but the lads were ok.

    Great day though

    I have been wanting to see Kid British (Fri) and Dirty North (Sun) for a while now...so obviously with my luck I ended up with Saturday tickets :(

    The only bands I'm not bothered about seeing are Plan B, Prof Green, Hollie Cook & Beady Eye (you may have spotted that 3 of the 4 bands are playing Saturday :()

    Having said that I saw some footage of Beady Eye the other night and they wasnt as bad as they have been before, and I believe they are going to be playing Oasis stuff this tour, so they may be ok

    Can we not have talk about mud, snow, rain etc, Its going to be sunny, trust me :D , so back at the ranch....

    If anyone is still in doubt about Adam Ant, try listening to "B-Side Babies", dug it out* over the weekend to listen to and wow what a great record, and he plays quite a bit of it on his current tour.

    I picked it up cheap at a car boot a few years ago and never really listened to it in full...that was a mistake, some great tracks on there, I think its on spotify so give it a go

    *Since digitizing all my records "dug it out" involves typing "adam ant" into foobar, dont you just love technology :D
