    From the article

    "Last year’s event was voted Best European Festival at the British Festival Awards. "

    What the fook!! How the hell did that happen. Oxegen is one of the most disgusting commercial festivals ever. Appart from gigs there is nothing to do unless you want to hang out with a load of Chavs at the fairground pickpocketing or hang out with them in the camping areas assaulting people and setting Tents on fire........It is an event rotten to the core!!! They even had to close down their offical forum a few years back because of the amount and seriousness of complaints!! ;):P

    I hate Oxegen and I wish it would go away!............

    Went to see Doves last night. Excellent show, was great to see them back in Belfast. Met Jimi Goodwin before the gig, he gladly stopped for a chat and had my photo taken with him. Also signed my copy of Kingdom of Rush. A sound chap

    Hope they dont put a tent up, customs house is a great little outside venue.

    bandwagonesque is their best album by far in my eyes. seen them about 10 times and again in belfast in a month.

    quite refreshing to only have to pay £10 for a concert these days, and its outside whoohoo

    hope they play glasto.

    Think these guys are in the middle of recording a new album but they are playing Belfast in May. Would be great to see them at Glastonbury as well. Would be perfect outdoors, early afternoon in the sunshine :angry:

  19. Tit Monday

    in Discussions

    Posted

    That glorious day when, heading into work on the bus, or walking to the tube, or sitting on the train, you find yourself suddenly chirpier than you have been in months. You find yourself smiling at strangers again. There is a mild involuntary tumescence in your trousers that comes and goes throughout the morning with the comforting regularity of a heartbeat.

    And then you get a text around lunchtime from a mate which says: "At last, Tit Monday!" And you instantly understand why you are so happy. For Tit Monday is that special day in the year when, for the first time, the temperature rises above that magical point which causes girls getting dressed in the morning to decide to show a bit of skin.

    After months of dull colours and chunky knit, the world's birds suddenly dive into last summer's wardrobe (they've not had chance to buy this season's stuff) and chuck it on without a thought. Your urban landscape is suddenly lightened with acres of naked arm and leg and, after many dark months of burrowing, breasts rising to the surface like moles at dusk.

    Big breasts in white work shirts straining at the buttons. Small breasts braless in vest tops, the nipples frotted by ribby fabrics. Breasts in summer dresses bouncing in the distance so that they catch your eye before you even notice there is someone wearing them. Breasts nudging out from the crowd at traffic islands, quivering to cross the road...

    And you know it is nearly summer. For previous generations, the arrival of spring was heralded by the sound of the first cuckoo. For us, it is Tit Monday.

    Not that it always falls on a Monday. Like Easter, Tit Monday is a moveable feast. Last year it fell on a Friday. Friday 29 April, to be precise, when temperatures maxed out at 22.1C after nothing much above 16C all year. It last fell on a Monday in 2004, when temperatures leapt to 22C on 24 April.

    And then, of course, there is Tit Monday Night. You see, in early summer, temperatures drop off very dramatically when night falls (Tit Friday 2005 dropped away to a parky 11.8C). But the dollies are not prepared. Slightly stunned by the morning heat, they drag out the summer clothes but forget to bring a cardie (a mistake they will not make again until next year), so that when they're all standing outside All Bar One after work celebrating the arrival of spring, their barely covered nipples have no protection from the cold. It's like a Bring-and-Buy sale where everyone has brought hat pegs. It's like a prog-rock gig where, instead of lighters, everyone is holding up nipples.

    So when will Tit Monday fall this year? Will you be the first to text your mates with the announcement? Do not shoot your bolt too early. There will be false starts. You will smell fresh cut grass and see a couple of early starters and feel compelled to declare Tit Monday. But your more level-headed friends will tell you to hold your horses, keep your powder dry, don't fire until you see the whites of their bra straps.

    As the poet said: one bold Northern slapper in a bikini doth not a summer make.

    Do you think they will play anything from the Think Tank album. I know Graham only featured on the last track (Battery in your leg) but love to hear them play Out of Time or Good Song
