Probably.

They sucked on The OC, although they were nice enough to play quieter whenever someone wanted to talk.

Are you going to watch them? Let me know how they are if you do.

I probably will do, even if just for a good spot during The Pixies.

Depends who's on the other stages.

British festivals make me hang my head in shame in comparison to Big Day Out.

What's the BDO lineup like, then?

This years BDO had the Polyphonic Spree, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Beastie Boys, The Streets, Atmosphere, The Hives, and some others. And I had an awesome time.

Of course Australia isn't going to get as many good bands as Britain, but it was still well worth my money.

Seen the Polyphonic Spree. Amazing live band.

Also seen The Streets, who are the worst live act I've ever seen.

Wow, the worst? I thought they were alright. Nothing special, but watchable. I didn't see their whole set though.

Yup. Easily the worst.

I've also seen the Libertines. And Junior Senior.

i hear that about him, but bad live or not, i love his albums.

Don't get me wrong, I like him on record. He just sucks live.

Kinda like an inverse Mars Volta.

Tool - "Aenima"

I finally got it..

Today I rediscovered Of Montreal and Beulah, and they are coolness.

Trans Am/ ****ing Champs (w/ sneaks) was SO good last night.

You people are dead

Discovering/re-digging some stoner rock/metal and similar stuff:

Kyuss
Trouble
Clutch
Corrosion of Conformity
Electric Wizard
Melvins
Sleep

Mmm....

you really need some Fu Manchu in that list

[QUOTE=Bandaid]you really need some Fu Manchu in that list[/QUOTE]

Yeah, they're on my list of 'More stoner stuff to check out soon'

I'm digging Phil Spector. Just downloading CDs 1 and 4 of Back To Mono.

I'm digging him too actually, you mentioning him in that association thread put me in a Spector mood. [I]Back to Mono[/I] is great, although the 4th disc is just Christmas songs, and I never bothered to download it.

And also in the classic pop vein, I'm digging some Burt Bacharach stuff. Dionne Warwick, etc.

Haha, the Christmas theme was what drew me to it.

Lightning Bolt
Elliott Smith
Stars
DJ Shadow
Weezer
Radiohead

...Is what I've listened to in the past two days.

Saturday Looks Good to Me

Guided by Voices- Bee Thousand is what I've been digging... very very good stuff... I thought the songs would be to fragmented for me, but it turns out it doesnt bother me too much.

Saratoga by Paul K & the Prayers. Just good rock music.

[I]Black Fire[/I] by Andrew Hill
[I]3 Compositions of New Jazz[/I] by Anthony Braxton
[I]Masterpieces by Ellington[/I] by Duke Ellington

Black Moth Super Rainbow
Circulatory System
Moonbabies
Nanook of the North
Interpol

I've been listening to The Streets and Radiohead the last couple of days.

And today I got:
Explosions in the Sky - [I]The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place[/I], and;
Beck - [I]Guero[/I].

Currently listening to [I]Guero[/I] for the first time, so far sounds very good.

I've been listening to Converge a lot. A lot a lot.

John Lennon
The Who
Truxton
Ted Leo
