My summer ball dress arrived today. I was worried it might not fit but it does, it fits soooo well. And it looks lovely. And now I just need shooooes. And a bag. And some kind of accessories.

I don't usually get all girly about clothes and things, but it's the summer ball, it's like the only oppertunity I ever get to spend normal amounts of money on stuff :P

:P

what's your dress like?

Just got back. It was absolutely MENTAL. We got Sparta FC, Wolf Kidult Man, Reformation Post TLC, Over Over, and even Psycic Dance Hall. They were extremely loud aswell, all in all, an absolutely cracking night and £16.00 well spent. Also got a T-Shirt and a CD!

"WOLF.

KIDULT.

MAAAN."

& repeat.

:P

WOLF KIDULT SONG!!! WHERE IS YOUR MUM? YOUR POWER IS G G G GONE!!!!!"

Did you take my advice you big geek?

I did take earplugs just incase it was too loud but as it goes the volume was bearable. Also the support acts were really weird, did you get the one with the ranting manchunian? (no, not Mark E Smith :P) It was definately not as loud as the Dino Jr. gig is gonna be, you know that huge amp the main guitarist of The Fall has? J mascis stacks 9 of them. Crazy stuff. And who you calling geek? :P

When I saw Dino Jr were unlistenable they were so loud. But it was this coruscating din from Mascis that was loud rather than with the Fall its that ridiculous bass theyve got going. Glad you had a good gig though chief. He's some boyo isnt he? Not bad for a grumpy git with a couple SERIOUSLY dodgy hips.

That's why me and my mate are gonna take earplugs for that gig, we actaully want to hear the songs not just pure white noise. And yeh, the band are awesome and Mark E. Smith was on form. I love how he plays with the amps and shit during the songs, like sometime you get more bass than guitar and vice versa. The intro was very weird I thought though.

It was an absolutely fantastic night. Stephen Malkmus is one of the most charismic frontmans out there. I would write more but I cba because I'm in college and very tired. Your in for an absolute treat when you see him though :P

Yeh, they are a fantastic live band. Definately much better live than on record.

I'm off on my hols now - so a few things for you to do.

ampers - make sure Neil behaves himself in the World Cup thread. As you're Scottish, I can count on you to be essentially neutral in the build up.....

Tugger - please can you feed the fish, and keep the Real Ale thread up to date?

Rufus - just try to behave.

Ralph - the footy thread is stat-free of late. You're slipping. Please see to this in time for my return.

oafc/Phil - play nicely or I'll bang your heads together.

Pogo - the election is over, sorry you lost and I hope you're feeling better soon.

To everyone else - have a good week - see you later!!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • 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.
