Dr. David Thorpe of "Your Band Sucks" also wrote a bunch of similarly-styled articles for a newspaper, and now you can read them by following this link! Funny stuff:

[quote]Electric guitar ace Kevin Shields, of the erstwhile “shoegaze” group My Bloody Valentine, was found dead in his second-favorite Barcalounger this past Saturday. Shields, according to a coroner’s report, was “lodged immovably in the chair for quite some time before his passing” and was unable to alert medical authorities. “His right hand appeared to be stuck in a dinosaur-shaped cookie jar, and it seems that he was unable to free it to use the telephone.” Tragically, had he let go of the cookie inside the jar, his hand could have been freed; the report concludes that he was “clearly unwilling to do so.”[/quote]

[quote=Little Man being Erased]Splendour in the Grass was really fuc[SIZE=2]k[/SIZE]ing good. I had the best time ever.

TV on the Radio really impressed me. I didn't even like them before seeing them, but I absolutely loved the live show. DJ Shadow was a little disappointing but still good. I missed Sonic Youth. Brian Wilson was absolutely amazing (despite being completely fu[SIZE=2]c[/SIZE]ked up). Everything else I saw was really great too.[/quote]

I kind of had a crappy time, probably because I was on my own, but seeing so many bands I like made up for it. TVTOR's live version of "Ambulance" was the biggest highlight. Bummer you missed Sonic Youth, they were awesome. DJ Shadow was boring for the half hour I saw him for, the only good song was that 'break it down' one from Endtroducing. Brian Wilson was :eek:.

Yes, Brian Wilson was very :eek:

Sucks that you had to go on your own. I was with a big group of people, but it was hard to stick together. We even lost one of our group overnight on Saturday, he had no idea where he was so we had to leave without him because the bus had to go.

How funny was it when Brian Wilson kept asking the people on the side of the stage to stop smoking? Hilarious.

I thought it was badass that it was the only thing he said for about five songs. He didn't introduce himself or anything, he just kept saying "put out the cigarettes".

The bus I was on on Saturday night was prebooked in the morning and all these people kept coming and asking if they could come on. This one guy offered the driver $1000, haha. The bus driver let that dude on too, but he only charged him $12.

Hopefully I'll get some people to come next year if the lineup is good. It's like an hour's drive from the Coast to Byron, which is nothing really.

Did you see Mogwai?

No. Me and my friend were on our way over there, but we got halfway there and then realised how far it was and it was already more than halfway through their set. So we said "Fuc[size=2]k it[/size]" and turned around. I wish I had have gone though. That's pretty much the same reason I didn't make it to Sonic Youth.

Too bad man, they were easily my favourite.

I wish I could have seen a Beach Boy.

Had a jam session with some mates today, was pretty awesome. My friend just carpeted up the 2 snd floor of his garage, and put some sofa's and all his guitar stuff up there; it's such a cool little practice room now. We came up with a couple of cool jams, and played along to some cure songs.

Nice Ted Stevens quote. I started the fad on ytmnd.

A stack of color changing hamburgers. But if you use the dark sputnik skin, then it looks like a really skinny stack of color changing hamburgers.

Now that I look at the big .gif, it looks like some sort of pastry, but it doesnt have holes in it.

I have the song "JCB" by Nizlopi stuck in my head for some reason.

Yer, when I get back home I'm gonna jump into slsk

For the first time in months, I've actually finished my slsk queue. I have no additional music to download at this time. It feels quiet.

I really like Feist. The first song I heard by her/them was Mushaboom on a random advert. I downloaded more songs and I've got into them quite alot.
