Best gigs of 2010

I also didn't get caught in the rush leaving because I left early because Dylan sucked so much.

God, that was meant to be a few words and turned into a rant.

That doesn't sound good. I'm going with the Big Green Coach on the Friday. Have anyone else had problems with that company?

ATP Butlins curated by Matt Groening was superb.

Highlights would be Boredoms, Liars, Konono No1, Amadou and Mariam, Joanna Newsome, Tiger Lilies. Was anyone else there?

Faithless at the Roundhouse at I tunes festival also blew me away.

Gallows in Falmouth had to be seen to be believed.

So much good music at EOTR.

Has anybody had experience of the Cinema tent? My daughters are interested in some of the films?

So am I! Good movies on! If you don't find anything better in the mornings or late at night

Re Hop Farm. I can't reconcile the words "non-commercial" and "Mean Fiddler". This is the organisation that admittedly saved, but ultimately commercialised Glastonbury. It's odd, because 2-3 years ago I read nothing but good things about Hop Farm and it sounded like exactly the sort of festival I would have liked.

Low Anthem @ Moseley tonight! Old faves, great new songs and covers. Marvellous. Roll on next weekend.

Actually, Donovan was tremendous tonight, too! Even though he was always kind of shit in the 'old days'. "He used to be shite, but now he's alright ......."

Black Mountain with Wolf People tonight. Both were fantastic

Wolf Parade at the Borderline. Can't wait to see them again this weekend.

I've read some of the comments regarding Hop Farm. Won't be going there. I thought Latitude and Hard Rock Calling were rip-offs but that one seems to take the biscuit. Like football matches, most festivals seem to be about making lots of money and while the British continue to be inert at complaining this will always be the case.

Pixies fan show at London Troxy for me.

Most of the reunion has looked like them going through the motions a lot of the time, this was banged out like the days of old.

Been to some really good gigs this year and still more to come .. best so far? Mark Lanegan's performance at Union Chapel the other week was pretty special, although the National at Brighton Dome and Band of Horses at Bush Hall were pretty good too!
