Ozzfest or Download festival is much better by far. Best of the year.

I'm sure it is if you like rubbish nu-metal

[oxford_fan]

it'll depend on the line-up; i'm not exactly thrilled by kylie at a festival.

i'm hoping reading has a decent hip-hop tent like last year but if glasto gets roots manuva and the beasties as rumoured, i'll do my best to get there.

[sonicyouth]

did you see j5 at reading last year?

[oxford_fan]

did you see j5 at reading last year?

yep, they were quality.

main stage and all.

[sonicyouth]

damn. i got quality control the other day, not listened to it properly but it's good from what i've heard.

[oxford_fan]

jurass finish first is a choon. possibly even better than concrete schoolyard.

[sonicyouth]

never. though it is good.

i'm still very partial to jayou, which no one ever seems to mention on here.

[Simon Pieman]

i only have the one j5 album, keep meaning to get more.....

[strooood]

"what you gonna do,c ome back, back agaaaain"

that is all

[Kinky Tom]

Hoping to go, but unfortunately i'll be on a coach coming back from france when the tickets go on sale, so i'm either gonna have to call from the bus in france or get someone else to use the on-line booking thing for me.

Not been before, but we'd decided to go this year, why do they mock me so by opening the box office at this time?

We went once to try and get in on a sunday, got paranoid about all the coppers and ended up smoking bongs down a country lane, watching the lights and listneing on the radio.

The joys of being 17

Oh, and my mate managed to drive 120 miles to get there when it's only about 50 away.

[Dazzza]

Tickets on sale at 9AM Sunday the 3rd.  That's going to be a real fucker of a stinking hangover job.

May just not go to bed.
