More importantly, here are pictures of me and two of my stalkers...

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Excellent pics.

There are two more, but I have to wait until MI5 have finished with them before I can post them.

Did anyone get to see Nurse With Wound and Ashtray Navigations?

I did. NWW were... disappointing, if I'm honest. Theirs is such a dark, brooding music, I felt that the bright lights of the venue detracted from it. The sound was awesome, but it felt wrong having them on so early in the day. If it was 4 in the morning and pitch-black, I think it would've been better. I had to nip off for Ashtray, so unfortunately I missed Tibet's rapping.

Ashtray were fucking incredible, and I kept bumping into them at bands, really nice chaps. They even looked really bashful when I drunkely told them they were the second best band in Britain (after the Fall, obviously).

NWW, yes, and they were super (EDIT - please bear in mind that I have been a music fan for many more years than Glice, and consequently I know more than him about these things - I saw Dinosaur Jr in 1988, you know). Ashtray Navigations I missed, but by all accounts they were v good.

The others I saw on Friday were Richard Youngs (good), The Stooges (fucking kick-ass!), SY, and Dead C (Damn damn fine). friday also brought the weekend's biggest disappointment - not seeing Bardo Pond.

Saturday: Melvins (too much like Metallica), Deerhoof (I like!!!), New Blockaders / The Haters (lacked any tunes that can be whistled), Mats Gustaffson & EYE, followed by Corsano / Flaherty / C Spencer Yeh, followed by Brotzman / Bennink (all three blew me away), MV/EE (a bit directionless until Chris Corsano joined them) and Comets on Fire (not my kind of thing).

Sunday: Dino Jr (killer!!! - but not as good as in 1988), Bark Haze (A much better thingv to do on a Sunday than church could ever be), Notekillers (like a three piece Branca ensemble), MCIAA (one of the highpoints of my weekend), Alexander Tucker (not very attention-grabbing), Six Organs (like a folk Loop), NNCK (pretentious bollocks) and finally Sunburned Hand (a wonderful end to the weekend).

soooooooooo, who are all these people?, are they all members?






Lee looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was great...I don't believe Cantankerous was there...we would have seen her coming a mile off. Maybe she was hiding from us on purpose.

Sonicl is wrong! NNCK were one of the best things there. Sunburned were great. Other than them my highlights were Sun City Girls, Major Stars, Brotzmann/Bennink and Blood Stereo.

See? Iain knows, because he's young and firm. And very good looking.

she hasn't been posting on here, im surprised she didn't meet up with you all (if she went) it seemed a long way to travel though.

did toilet&bowels go? cos maybe she was hanging with him all weekend?

In no particular order: me, greenlight, nefeli, jon boy, naomi, moshe, whorefrost, jennthebenn, pantophobia, pokkeherrie. Taken just before Bark Haze.

it's nice to put names to faces. i glad everyone (glice aside) turned out to be lovely.

Yeah,was Toilet there too?I bet Tonomo gave Saturnine a mean samurai look and she hid behind a tree the whole weekend.

T&B was there, he wasn't with Cantankerous. He was looking quite fly as well, I was most impressed with his jacket. Still a miserable bastard mind you.

so nobody saw her? strange.

ha ha ha, comming from you!

I feel a bit like Iain in that i somehow got the impression that Saturnine wasn't there.I dunno why.

Nice pictures peoples! Looks like ya all had a great weekend. Jono's the man! Nefeli... mmmm. :p

Also, sorry I didn't say more than hello to some of you fellow board members...mainly sonicl, whorefrost, greenlight and moshe.

Toilet was attempting some pretty confused morris dancing at about 3am on sunday/monday.

Glice was drunk pretty much every time I saw him and kept stroking my hair.

There was an awful nightclub inside the main building which was like being in a nightclub in any uk city on a weekend but with slightly better music.

Oh, yes...the worst pictures are probably of me a) stuff Pringles into my craw and b) lying on the floor during the Skaters with a stupid expression on my face.

I took no pictures whatsoever.
