Oh right - I must have just assumed they had by now! I only actually watched Bo Ningen last time there, I believe, so I’ll bow to your better.

What we saying, there are screens at the park stage this year? That's pretty big news, how did I miss that?

Ha I thought someone might say that given the rapturous reception it's getting on here

 

And more logically...

You've (we've!) seen HC very recently at a decent venue with a top soundsystem and you've not seen The Chems for a good number of years. Decision made for you. ?

Hard to argue with that. I don't really think HC on the Park is going to top their West Holts show or the Village Underground if I'm honest. Bought the album and going to have a listen today...

We're still speculating, but the rigging around the stage is definitely different this year.

think they are likely to cut out a few for a festival set. More likely to be this but still great

Cracking set list, although I'm hoping that We've Got to Try and Do it Again make an appearance at Glasto!

Yeah sorry, probably shouldn't have said it so matter-of-factly.

This is my issue. I may just sack them both and watch Wu Tang.

That’s not the attitude eastynh ?, you deffo said you’d be at HC

You are right I did. If there is an efests meet up at Hot Chip then I am in. None of my crew will want to watch Hot Chip. I have just seen them in Manchester, will see them at Bluedot, later on this year in Manchester and then in Amsterdam this December. Just seems a bit mad watching them on my own at Glasto when my mates are having fun elsewhere.

Lets be honest though, when push comes to shove, I will be drawn to Hot Chip.

You prob won’t get anywhere near it. Park stage is hard to see at the best of times 

5 minute sprint? I'm greedy I want to see both. 

Praying Chems get a long set so they start 45 min to 1 hour before Hot Chip.

[Zoo Music Girl]

So I gave the album a listen this morning and it is pretty damn good. I still think the singles are the best tracks overall, but I reckon the rest are growers and could definitely imagine it all sounding great in that field. Sorely tempted. I might wait until the full timings etc come out so I can make decisions based on where I am likely to be on the day. And then change that decision on the actual night! Do think this will be a helluva show though.

Really hope they include We’ve Got To Try.

Believe someone involved has said it's for a bigger Park sign.

Not in there at the moment and Do it Again has disappeared ?

So I'm just watching half an hour of highlights from the 2011 set on YouTube and my God! I think I'm actually more excited about the Glastonbury set than APE or the tour. There's just something special about them in that field!

Same  - Chems are the one I am not prepared to miss, whatever else I may get up to over the five days

[nikkic]

Chems related, the times have been released for APE in case any of you are going.

Hot Chip, Peggy Gou and Jon Hopkins all clashing.

Saw the Chems last night in San Francisco.  The show was amazing and I'm ready to see it again in 6 weeks!

Proper decision to make now. 

Think I’m edging towards JH as I’ve seen Hot Chip loads of times.
