Things that ur happy about

I have just had the most incredible weekend, in the sunshine, in idyllic countryside with friends, all of whom I am lucky enough to have met through eFests over the years at festivals & meets far & wide. The loveliest, messiest, happiest, craziest people you could ever wish to call friends.

And I sat by a river with the best of the lot of them watching the sun set over the whole scene.

I ca't really imagine being much happier

:P

Got the new Arab Strap boxset today, the new song they recorded last year is f**king staggeringly good.

Arab Stap are back together?! :P

I really, really hope they play some live gigs in the future. I would definately go if they did. I think it's great that I'm growing up when all these fantastic past bands are reforming and are playing apparently more on form gigs then they did in their hey day. I'm just waiting for Grandaddy to reform now, that would be absolutely insane!

Hate to break it - looks like a one-off thing for a new song for the new "Scenes of a Sexual Nature" boxset.

It's their best song though - and by a fair bit too. Their parting shot is a work of genius, got to f**king love them :P

More info - may be of interest :P

Aww that sucks. Hopefully something will come out of it though in future years- I've still got ages to live :P

I will check it out somewhen, I've really loved most of the stuff of theirs that I've already heard, their best album personally is The Last Romance. It's absolute quality.

Lucky you! I quite fancy getting it but funds are pretty tight at the moment.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
