Hate to be that guy, but Key Markets came out last year.

What is James Blake-gate? 

Just an ongoing argument. I think he's great whereas @The Orgazoid thinks he is - and I quote - "a dullard". 

This is likely to reach boiling point given how good the Colour In Anything was and how high it's likely to be placed on my AOTY list.

Ah I see.

Fwiw I'd go with a drippy dullard.

I think you'd do it just to wind me up. Even if you thought the album was shite.

Used to think he was a drippy dullard, WH headline set proved me wrong, really enjoyed it. Then like a mug I went to see him at Green Man and nearly died of old age during that set. Jesus, Radio Silence and The Wilhelm Scream are good, but the rest of it slowed down time to an excruciating crawl.

When I'm Prime Minister, hearing Retrograde live will be made a mandatory educational experience. One of the most sublime moments of my life hearing that on the Park in 2014 while the sun set

Justice live show tickets are on DICE. Brixton Academy on 29th September.

Are these completely out of the blue or did I miss them announce those shows earlier in the week?

i don't recall hearing anything about it. weird for them to be released so far in advance for just an academy show as well 

edit: just seen it announced - tickets on sale now are pre-sale. general sale on Monday

Yeah that's exactly what I thought. I still got myself a ticket, but Im not happy about the wait. Although it is 3 days after my birthday so that has solved that problem 9 months in advance

Yeah is there normally this many gigs announced and sold so close to Christmas? my bank balance has taken a hit this week. 2 tickets for Maccabees and 1 for Justice. Didnt plan for those this month... 

People will be getting a pack of mistrels each for christmas as a result. Or a mini celebration (chococlate) each like from Gavin and Stacey.

They supported them when I saw them earlier in year at Sheffield.

Not very good would be my diplomatic answer. live they were worse than this song suggests

 

Ta. Ffuck them then, I'll stay in the pub where the beer is cheaper, and nicer.

2 from Los Anjaleeze

Warbly Jets....played 2 dates this past weekend in NYC which I missed for choosing nights out christmas drinking w/ mates instead...

The Shelters - not sure if I've posted this lot before, but first time i heard this track i caught it at around the 2:30 in spot and it blew me away & perked my curiosity and so i caught these earlier this year at a famed little local venue here called the Mercury Lounge. discovered and produced by Tom Petty apparently and he took them on the road with them this year when he did his tour with his old band Mudcrutch

God I hope so. Would be a great way to top off the year. Still holding out for that Other Stage headline slot, although their absence from every other lineup probably lays that to bed

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
