This festival was fucking awesome, I had a great time :D I was really really impressed, the show grounds was a great venue, it took all of about 2 seconds to get a drink, the crowd was reasonably well behaved and it wasn't overly packed. Much better than a BDO for sure! :D
Due to a large about of fart arsing about, we missed Robyn unfortunately
Anyone see her set and have anything to say about it?
Caught some of cut copy but wasn't all that impressed, nothing like I remember them from Splendour in '05. Loved Hearts on Fire tho and Lights and Music.
Modest Mouse was meh but thats just because I'm not a big fan I suppose
Roisin Murphy was awesome! Even if she wasn't showing off her nips I still would have loved her set!
I had no idea she was from Moloko until I happened to run into 1234 who enlightened me
Air- A big pile of pretentious crap but thats what I was expecting too. There were a few songs in their set that I didn't hate. And the drugs probably helped a bit too
QOTSA- Fucking awesome! I almost wasn't going to go see them but I heard them from a distance and was drawn in. Loved their set and they were just as good as I remember them being from Splendour in '05 :D
Smashing Pumpkins- Giddy the fuck up!
Great set but not so much for the music I think, more so just because I got to see a legendary band that I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to see. Bullet with Butterfly Wings went off in a big way. As did Zero. I got the impression that the crowd was of a similar opinion to mine and that is, I don't give a fuck about your new stuff, play your old stuff!
What was with Billy's comment "QOTSA are proof that drugs do work". Does he not like them or something?

Loved the highlights of Smashing Pumpkins but what the fuck was with that boring arse jam in the middle of the set? That bit was borafill
Fuckin word! What a big waste of time that was. The Everlasting Gaze would have been much more enjoyable. I think I spent most of this time undressing the bassist with my eyes. So hot! :D
As well as seeing lots of great music I was fortunate enough to catch up with C0TB, Busty St. Clare, 1234 and Mary Poopins! :D Missed Blossom and Potato tho, spewin
BL meet ups are so 2 years ago
