stuartbert two hats Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I'm not quite sure why these showings are happening before the downloads are being made generally available. It is actually finished isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I'd like to watch / listen to this story, but the Birmingham showing (nearest to me) is on the day of my wedding anniversary,, and I don't think the misses will be up for celebrating it by watching this. Will have to wait until it's down loadable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield would be (probably closest) to me at a 1.5/2 hour drive so I will be skipping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russycarps Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 When was it first at the festival? The last year was, what, 2004? 2005? Was it that good? My instinct is to say it was miles better than the current SE corner, but is that just rose tinted specs? I cant remember that much about it really. I might have played ping pong v the devil there one year though. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a screening in the Stockport/Manchester area I'd definitely go. I might go to the one in York - I used to go to that cinema back in my student days, when it was an Odeon, so I'm interested to see it in its new guise.

I might have played ping pong v the devil there one year though. Not sure. I think that'd very much be rose tinted specs to be honest. A lot of the attraction back then was that it would have been fairly unique - there wasn't really anything else like it at Glastonbury at the time, and none of the other mainstream festivals were doing anything even close. From my memory, there really wasn't much to it compared to what we have now - if you transplanted Lost Vagueness from 2002-04 into the modern festival, there'd be huge complaints about how little there was to do, and in terms of what it offered it was absolutely eclipsed by Trash City in it's final year (2007). But then you didn't have half as many people automatically heading for the area as soon as the main stages stopped so the expectations were different.

Pinhead Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Yeah, compared to now it was miniscule, but somehow the way it felt less organised and more spontaneous was attractive over the current offering in the SE. More theatre and less theme maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Sir Robin Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 New(ish) Grauniad article on the film: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/apr/28/leaving-lost-in-vagueness-glastonbury-pioneers-hedonism-documentary Some great comments, my favourite, from 'Rodneybooze': "I played there many times in the 80s, and there was always a lurking commentary about it becoming "too corporate". to an extent it's always been part of the trip; it's not cool enough just to be there, you have to be part of a really cool sib-set who 'really know what's going on', and remember it when it was just medieval brigands shoving mushrooms up dragons arses. For free." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Has anyone had their Kickstarter stuff yet? I had a message asking to message her if I wanted my video now rather than waiting until June (a year late), which I did, with no response.

ian the worm Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) Lost Vagueness: the only place I've licked a live electric toaster being held through a window by a stripper. I haven't been to the SE corner at night for 5 years as I've worked most nights since. But not really knowing what to expect there (pre-festival internet spoilers were minimal then) was one of the biggest draws for me. PS I joined in December 2008 - Happy 10th year me!

Pinhead Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Not being a prude but surprised just how pornographic it became towards the end. Literally stumbled into a performance on the Sunday evening once which involved a dancer going down on a dildo, resulting in gasps from a few (mainly girlfriends)...
