  1. Exactly my experience too. Maybe we shouldnt be telling people about it or it'll be uncontrollably rammed!
  2. It seems that i only got so easily into Skindred and ho99o9 at the truth stage thursday last year cos everyone else was stuck in the crowds at bloody Example ffs ๐Ÿ˜ happy with that as a going plan this year, hang around the SE corner cos most people are flocking to the glade
  3. I've seen Bank of Skulls a couple of times, always quite liked em despite the transparently obvious White Stripes ripoffness - i just think its a bit sus that the rest of the Pixies (or more likely, Black Francis and the guys who do as they're told for a quiet and fairly lucrative life) have to have a female bass player for balance, but that they dont want her to hang around for too long. Kim Deal is obvs my fave of the four, but they've all been cool
  4. The Pixies are now onto their fourth bass playing woman having sacked off Paz, its a strange state of affairs ๐Ÿ˜„ give your daughter the L7 album bricks are heavy, the bass playing on that is great!
  5. I've never identified with a comment on here so much, its like you're reaching into my brain and transcribing my exact thoughts and feelings. I cant be in the same room as that song. (That and the Sheeran faux irish abomination that i wont even utter the name of because it sickens me so much)
  6. Admittedly its about 15-18 years ago but when i saw the Breeders they were great, it was a tiny little gallery in south london alongside a 4AD exhibition of images so it wasnt even a proper dedicated music venue, but they had a lovely old time on stage and all the crowd did too - i'm very much up for seeing them again
  7. absolutely word for word this! its quite a result actually, lots of 'quite fancy' but no 'must see and will swap all my shifts and donate my firstborn to be front and centre' acts just yet. Truth stage yet to be announced ofc and thats typically where i would see the most interesting stuff the last few years, so its a good position to be in as a volunteer ๐Ÿ‘
  8. Yep! and admittedly i'm basing not seeing her on the top five tracks on spotify, which arent for me. Thats the limit of my research - give em a burl, see if anything draws me in, then give an album a bash all the way through, and research further if its buttering my muffins. She's failed at step one ๐Ÿ˜„
  9. none for me, but im not keen on the pyramid - i'd far rather be somewhere smaller so the act im seeing can be seen with my actual eyes, rather than via screens! No issue with any of em, love the idea of new headliners etc, they're just not for me. Ill see PJ and LCD and stay out of the field for the weekend ๐Ÿ‘
  10. Seems like a colossal own goal not to have the Mary Wallopers on the bill, they've got a bit of momentum and are really bloody good live too
  11. Don't like that Clashfinder. If Keane are replacing Judas Priest in the 'kind of afternoon rock' friday slot then someone is getting put under the wheels of a Harley, and my money is on the port boy.
  12. Um, me too. Me confirmed to be playing the Truth stage at 1.30am with a pile of impenetrable black metal covers!
  13. Hiking boots are a very individual thing, its a bugger to recommend any - i do a fair amount of hiking so in recent years i've stepped up from yer mid range (merrell, north face, etc, high street available) to the more expensive types - keen, scarpa, and dachstein (mail order, or specialist shops) at present. i tend to get a couple of years wear out of them cos i use them just for hiking and festivals - and the more expensive ones are definitely more comfy and more durable. the Scarpas have been the best ones for me so far, now i've tried a couple of others i'd like to go back to them. i typically drop about ยฃ150 on a pair, go one size up and use an insole as well๐Ÿ‘ but of course its dependant on your foot size and shape! i'd quite fancy a gait analysis as well, thats a good idea - where'd you get it done?
  14. My mate's roof bars got pinched from the car park last year, which royally pissed him off - he has a van and they were the rolling type, ยฃ200 a set, some light fingered bastards got to em at some point between the friday (when he last was at his van) and first knockings monday morning. That'd worry me more if i had rented them, in the knowledge that they'll doubtless have insurance but will sting you on deposits etc.
  15. Three in a hatchback is a pretty decent amount i'd say, four is just going to be a pain in the arse. You wont be able to see out of your parcel shelf, and it'll be heavy on the axles so the little country bits wont be very comfy. I'd declare it as full on 3, and as you're the driver you're in charge
