It was an awesome festival this year and even though I didn’t see many full sets I caught performances by countless bands, wandered an awful lot, met some great people and had a fantastic time.

So, another festival is over. Not a great one this year in all fairness.

Went to exchange my ticket for a wristband on the Thursday and found the signs for the exchange were absolutely dire. In fact we only saw one and the only place you could see it was AFTER you’d been through the exchange [...]

First off, against all the odds I survived. I’m here to tell the tale. I’ve been ill though, with festival germs so it’s taken a while for me to get around to this.

I don’t know why, but after having my rib-cage smooshed to bits by an insanity of bass in a small tent at Reading this year I’ve had a real soft-spot for Hadouken! They are so young and really seem to be doing something a bit different. Some of their tracks are insanely catchy too. I [...]

I’ve been depressed again the last couple of days. No real reason for it at all. I just want a big hug and to be told everything will be OK.
My weekends right now are awesome, fun-packed. But the weeks… the weeks are bad. It’s getting worse. I know this is just because I’m leaving work. [...]

Ahh…. that was a pretty good festival :o) Tickets have been bought for next year’s already. It’s almost £150 for a weekend ticket these days, which is pretty outrageous. Then again, it’s so close to where I live I’d have to be an idiot (or an old fogey with no taste in music or fun) [...]

Really should have updated ages ago, but my phone line is being an arse :o(
Reading Festival was a good laugh again. Didn’t see a huge amount of bands, but Lemon Jelly Satanic Bingo was the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages, even when no-one won for a very long time! Queens of the Stone Age [...]

Off to Reading Festival.
Staying at Chris’ from tonight (Thursday) to Monday. His internet is a bit hit-n-miss so I probably won’t be on-line ’til Monday evening/Tuesday.
If you need to get hold of me I have my mobile with me & I can pick up e-mail from Jo@Chaos-23.com.
See you on the other side…

That turned out to be one of the most enjoyable festivals I’ve had for a couple of years. Maybe because I spent less time there??
We only managed to see a bit of Rahzel & Mike Patton. They were really good, but the sound was a bit pooh, Super Furry Animals were blaring out at one [...]

Saturday at the Festival was better than expected. We didn’t bother getting down there for the 5.6.7.8’s as there was such a huge gap in between them and anyone else we wanted to see. Apparently they were very good though.
We got there in time for Har Mar Superstar who was absolutely fantastic. AND he kept [...]
