Green Man festival

But, y'know, each to their own etc.

I have fun at this thing on the reg but tbqf that is hugely influenced by the fact that it is full to the brim with my friends (who are hugely inflluenced by etc) - if it wasn't an hour and a bit's drive up the road I doubt I would have ever attended

Dirty Three owned everything last year, that said

Kind of amazing that Doran slags off the entire festival for being twats then boasts about going back to his hotel to participate in a of drugs use utterly guaranteed to turn anyone into a twat themselves. A bit pot, kettle, you're looking black today to be honest.

Dunno if Battlestar Galactica is classified as a drug but fair point nonetheless Kate

There are too many prepositions in my sentance due to incomplete editing but you get the point.

There was, perhaps, a flicker of self-recognition in that post Kate. It's kind of acknowledged. If you look hard enough for it.

"Utterly guaranteed". Ha! What bunkum.

When people say "coke turns people into arseholes"; what they generally mean is "my friends are arseholes on coke".

If coke generally did to people what Stella Artois does to people they'd be justified in going on about it. But then it doesn't does it.

For example: I don't usually take it at all but when I do, I'll be on my own listening to music. What conclusions can you draw from what I'm like on it? None, I'd wager.

If an asshole does coke alone in his room and no one is around to hear it...

Yeah, that's what I'd call scientific proof.

Is anyone going this year?

See you at the back for Caribou with a knackered 5yo and 2yo!

So who's good? Who should I add to my list of people to see, and then not see because I have to take a child back to the tent?

Definitely gonna be disappointed to miss Caribou, Richard Dawson, Nadine Shah, Thundercat, and Michael Kiwanuka, but who else should I get hyped about seeing only to be bitterly disappointed?

I've been three times (06, 08 and, I think 14) and it's easily the best biggish festival I've been to. Spending lots of time in the kids' field in 2014 was magical and probably my favourite festival experience.

Not massively enthused by that lineup, tbh. I would happily miss most of them dealing with stroppy kids! (I missed Low in 2014, I have never forgiven my boy :) )

You gotta go see Charlotte Adigéry and Sudan Archives!

Also, wtf is that white text on those backgrounds?

We enjoyed it so much last year that we bought early bird tickets before any lineup announcement. So a bit of roulette, but I love Caribou to pieces.

i haven't heard john, caroline, or ruthie, but you should check them out
