Bestival

11/12/13 September.......Massive Attack, Seasick Steve, Fleet Foxes & ******* Kraftwerk no less :smt023

I'm going

I think that any Festival that promotes bestiality should really be held in the West country.

Or Thornhill.

I take that back.

In my hazy state:

The Cuban Brothers -- 7/10 (pure entertainment)

The Correspondents -- 5/10

Friendly Fires -- 7/10

Zane Lowe -- 8/10

Soulwax -- 9/10

Kraftwerk -- 8/10

MGMT -- 3/10

Fleet Foxes -- 9/10

Lily Allen -- 8/10

Bat for Lashes -- 5/10

Doves -- 6/10

Karl Hyde and Rick Smith (Underworld set) 7/10

Chase and Status -- 7/10

Layo and Bushwacker -- 8/10

The Boy Least Likely To -- 6/10

The Hot Rats -- 7/10

I'm sure I saw more but I can't remember at the moment. I'm really disappointed with myself for not seeing more but I was pretty trashed. Went to see the Dirty Projectors but the ridiculously small tent was packed out. I actually fell asleep on my feet watching Bat For Lashes, just minutes before 2 Many DJs, and went back to the tent. Will never get over missing 2 Many DJs but the Soulwax gig more than made up for that.

I worked there, three 18 hour shifts... fun

I saw one band, Speech Debelle were who were good, I checked them out on spotify and the album is not as good as they were live though which is a shame

I hope you were all f*cked on drugs.

I was off my tits on caffeine

Can't believe I missed all the fun, the phone call from bellows at 11 o'clock on Saturday was quite funny.

Poor show for falling asleep and missing 2 Many DJ's, they where quality at glasto.

It would have been quality if you were there mate. We all had a wicked time. We definitely all have to do Bestival and Glasto next year.
