melissa.fehr published a new chat: Worst. Festival. Ever!
All I could think of reading through this was the Simpsons comic store man...
Yeah. It sounded lame anyway though. And it's in Kent. Who cares about Kent?
i care about kent
liar
well, about the very small patch of it my folks live in, anyway
and the slightly larger patch of it i went to college in
but the rest of it i can take or leave
quite frankly
Canterbury?
nah
bromley
in fact
:-/
I like Canterbury
i don't give a shit about Bromley
lied
bromley sounds suspect
canterbury is nice
bromley is suspect
it's full of them
it's always on Street Crime UK
cunts fighting in the street and whatnot
Bromley and its neighboring suburbs provide the setting for the Hanif Kureshi novel The Buddha of Suburbia.
bam
yes, i rather like that novel
unfortunately there was less sexual experimentation going on when i was there
athough a dog tried to hump my leg in Chislehurst once
so life mirrored art in at least one respect
even if it wasn't a particularly pleasant one.
Anyway, festivals
that O2 one was also pretty shit, wasn't it?
"For people like me who bought tickets on the basis of four artisits (dizzee rascal, mark ronson, the rascals, the cribs)" : no comment.
hahah
For people like me... sterilization
I wouldn't mind seeing the cribs. From a distance.

outside the blast radius kinda distance?
haha.
I just meant outside of sweaty violent children distance
this happened like next door to me. Supposedly the toilets all malfunctioned and everyone had to evacuate for two hours. And all the bands played a bit sulkily. you know, no banter or anything. And a couple of the tents just didnt open. The guy from british sea power put two guitars down his pants.
"The guy from british sea power put two guitars down his pants." : well if you've got the room to perform such a task, i say go for it. sounds like fun fun fun.

the BBC news article implied the artists that cancelled weren't getting paid AT ALL, not that they were haggling over pay, which is what southeastgigs seemed to be saying about wiley...

The impression i got from staff at the arena, and some promoters was that dizzie and wiley wanted paying before they performed not after.
yeah I think it's standard to do half before half after?
I think the agreement they made was'nt fully understood from both parties
www.southeastgigs.com magazine out at the end of the month!"
well, with the track record of the promotors, I'm not sure I can blame them. But I'm glad that the replacements did such a god job of entertaining the people who were there, which I'm sure was no easy task
Haduken and Leathal Biz smashed it.
Bizzle is amazing live. Can't say I've seen HAdouken! yet...
