this is the thread for louis to liveblog his brother's party

xp to MDC hahahahahah

they've all gone to Bestival. well my brothers have, my folks are chillin' on the IOW

first family holiday for like 3 years tbf, of course I was having none of it

also yeah a BAND PRACTICE of course!!!!

Bring your own Dysons?

oh my god, EVERYONE....uni people, old secondary school people...is going to Bestival. Dressing up, having the freakin' time of their lives, drugs...

i don't think i'd enjoy bestival.

Bestival usually has good lineups but looks a bit orgafun what with the themed dressing up nights.

I am overdue going to a good festival actually....I would go to ATP if someone good was curating or if they had lots of dance music.

yeah i mean that shit can be cool in certain environments but it seems a bit contrived

plus i'm only going to a music festival ever if i know i'm with awesome people on my wavelength - would be quite alienating otherwise. although maybe quite peaceful, roaming tent to tent, soaking up the different ambiences.

It's a shame really, you could take an iphone and turn this thread into LJ liveblogging his first ecstacy experience.

yeah drop some acid and post away

lol

i don't know if lj is vmic or vmnic there

it never ceases to amaze me that anyone is prepared to take a chance on the english weather by going to a camping festival in SEPTEMBER

if i ever wake up in a tent it will be a sure sign that the apocalypse has happened, especially in SEPTEMBER

Offset is even later! I went to that last year, it was pretty good fun, although crucially I came home both nights

Tonight, of course, I'm going to the first Ultrasound gig in ten years. Bestival, kiss my ass.

lol

September is generally a good weather month in England.

(xpost wtf I know four people who are going to that Ultrasound gig. What is wrong with you all?)

that's just a radiographer conference u clown

jesus christ i've never heard of ultrasound but why the hell do i seem to know two separate people going to see them tonight, one of whom - not you lj - i really really expect to know better

tbh aug/sept >>>> june/july for odds of good weather, matt otm

one of whom - not you lj - i really really expect to know better

coooold

September is generally a good weather month in England.

did you see the rain last night

anyway i'm not sure there's any 'what should i do?' question that's ever been asked of anyone not on a liver transplant waitlist that can't be answered w/ WHISKY

xp not in england

*by* anyone xp

October's usually pretty sweet as well. July has become a freaking liability.

ooh nakh there's a thought

tbf there was insanely heavy rain in london about two hours ago iirc

Who in their right mind thought that signing this lot and then ridiculously hyping them would be a good idea?

still giggling btw

today's weather has been wondrously schiz - bright sunshine + blue sky now

lex don't look at that youtube

No Lex you should look at it I want to see the bewilderment and spitting disgust.

NO month in this country is reliable weather-wise. THIS IS ENGLAND. you go abroad to festivals.

Who in their right mind thought that signing this lot and then ridiculously hyping them would be a good idea?

and who in their right mind thinks that going to spend an evening watching them THIRTEEN YEARS ON or however long it is, is a good idea?

i'm going to see giggs tonight.

i saw a picture of the lead singer on twitter. i have no intention of hearing anything that comes out of his mouth.

If you take into account their relative ponderousness then Giggs is to British rap what Ultrasound were to 90s indie.

hahahaha it's take no prisoners day!

I've had the ticket for 3 months. Stay Young is their big single, most of their music is way more complex and clusterfucked than that. They're big Cardiacs fans too! This is how I roll, sorry.

giggs isn't exactly a franz liszt in 1852 level draw himself, unless catatonically slow rappers from peckham are more highly regarded than they ought to be

ha xp

oh my god

oh my god

i clicked on the youtube link

i can't breathe i'm laughing so much

what the hell is that

what is he doing with his voice

that's actually avid merrion doing thom yorke, isn't it

*rips up ticket*

*it is an e-ticket, prints out ticket again*

are you going to do the poll or shall i?

go for it, include an option for 'radiography conference'

i should clarify that i'm not exactly super-stoked about giggs, his pr invited me and i feel i should check out just how crazy the kids go for him, for journalistic purposes

plus i've been ill and haven't left the house in 5 days so a bit stir-crazy

but i still can't get over JUST HOW DREADFUL ultrasound were. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL!

Poll options should be:

- Bestival
- Ultrasound reunion gig
- Giggs
- Radiography conference
- Franz Liszt in 1852
- Staying in and watching Peggy Mitchell die in a fire

Leaning towards the last option.

I was wondering what on earth was going on in this thread to pick up so many new answers to quickly, but I'm super glad I clicked on it.

Lex, you are wonderful. <3

lex has me guiltily laughing @ myself, gotta confess

my actual dilemma is tomorrow, fwd x rinse 16th bday @ fabric or optimo and prins thomas @ corsica. i don't even know if i'll be well enough to go raving ;_;

apparently r kelly's asked for glist for fwd x rinse...but it's at fabric. optimo/prins more likely to end in a bin (not sure if that's a plus or minus), but it's south of the river, ugh.

we were dropped on our heads as babies and now we like ultrasound, football and prawn pizza

lex fear not the south - we're a welcoming sort

assuming the "we" is constant in those sentences, you make south londoners seem like village idiots.

...yeah.
