May have been mentioned earlier in this thread, but i'm late to the party as usual. 

 

Just finished listened to Marcus Marr & Chet Faker's EP Work that came out in December, only four songs but it is absolute class. Hopefully both/either of them pop up at the farm.

new Yuck, Animal Collective, Wild Nothing and Junior Boys all available. good day!

Let me know if new Yuck is worth bothering with. The last one had that amazing single before release, then ended up being poops on the whole.

yeah exactly what i thought - Reborn was a really great song/direction, but the album was pretty darn pants. first single from this new album hasn't filled me with much hope tbh

Karl Hyde talks over some reasonable dance music that would be better if Darren Emerson had been involved... sounds like Underworld (since 2000) to me.  

Should imagine they would put on a good live show, they always used to.


Re:ATDI ... I suspect it is all the members of ATDI, it isn't like Cedric and Omar are short of random projects to use as names if it is just those two.

I thought that for many years, as I stopped listening to Underworld just as Emerson left. However, when they did their Olympics thing, I listened back to their back catalogue and was startled to find that he actually made next to no difference. Especially if you take into account that he wasn't even with the band at the start.

Underworld just failed to jibe with the Zeitgeist the Emerson left. Listening to their records as a body of work, I don't find much of a stylistic change and certainly no sudden drop off in quality. Maybe their very latest records aren't as good, but there's plenty to recommend in their 21st century work.

Not seen anything about these online, but while flicking through The Skinny the other day I saw that there are new albums from Santigold and Sarah Neufeld out in the world right now! I'll be listening during the week, but I wanted you all to know that you can enjoy them now.

Came across this song the other day and I'd never heard of this band before, I really like it though. They're a sort of shoegazy band from Russia. Turns out they released their debut album last year so I'll try and give that a listen soon as well as their new album at the end of the month.

The new one is out there and it's - as Davina would put it - shamaze. Like best of 2016 excluding Blackstar good.

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
