Neil Young excellent last night. The main is still pure class. Out of the support bands My Morning Jacket were very, very good although I'd never heard of them before. Guillemots were absolute bollox as was Rufus Wainright. Primal Scream were on another planet and Supergrass did what Supergrass do.
Apparently the Hop Farm in Kent is going to be turned into a 3 day event next year. Great value for £50 but if you do go next year prepare for a 3 hour wait afterwards in the car park unless they get their act together.
Yeah the "Youngster" was in top form.MMJ are a great live band |

Got a ticket for the Friday just to see Rage one last time. Really looking forward to it. Hopefully they won't play anything by Audioslave. |

I bet those that have laughed couldn't name a song of his, and would be pleasantly surprised if you played one. Or they're twats. |

Isn't that a case of joe public thinking it's a good idea and wanting it, rather than it being looked at as a viable option? |

More than likely there's no truth in it. Sounds like a good shout to me.. but i'd have no idea what would actually be involved in getting it sorted. I've not even been in there - is it big enough? |

Rock Werchter was tremendous but very tiring. From memory I saw
Day 1 - rained all day and after travelling was knackered. Caught a bit of REM and then went to see 2manyDJ's in the tent, Twas awesome
Day 2 - Patrick Watson - Excellent although a power cut cut short the set, Ben Folds, ace. My Morning Jacket, ok from what I heard from outside sitting in the sun. The Verve, class, looking forward to hearing their new stuff. Neil Young, total legend 2 hour set, top drawer
Day 3 - MGMT, ace. Band of Horses - not bad. Editors, decent - Kings of Leon, decent - Sigur Ros, not as good as when I saw them last year mainly because stupid aussies and Irish were making loads of fucking noise as I was trying to listen to the music. Radiohead - Awesome, ended with Paranoid Android
Day 4 - Almost dead by this stage!! Spent most of the day in the pub. Saw Raconteurs - Excellent, Beck - Top Class, Deus - Never heard of them but awesome, have since bought recent album Vantage Point which is ace!!

Sounds like a pretty decent line up, seen a few of them, but never heard of Patrick Watson, who's he? |
