NO

cos i didnt go


^


My HEALTH t-shirt got ruined by red wine in my bag :(

I mean its fixable with bleach, but still.

How was the Sunday?


hey, at least that's some variation from almost every other person ever

sunday was ace, i had a lie down to beach house, tried to force david berman to marry me from about 40 metres away using the medium of applause, got bored watching animal collective, grinned at de la soul, grinned harder at broken social scene, then went to bed at a sensiblish hour. rockandroll. how was the exam?


About an hour of a vague attempt at scraping a pass

Ah well. Such a fun weekend anyway.

Ooh did J Mascis play with Broken Social Scene during their proper set as well? And if so, was everyone just a bit like: "OK this is getting silly now, he's literally everywhere."


yep!

eits and the constantines joined in as well for backed out on the...
just walking from animal collective -> chalet -> de la soul i saw him twice more in different places. i'm yet to be convinced that he's acting alone.


Can I butt in here?

Is it known fact that that BSS song is really called Backed Out on the Cunts. Or is it only me who thinks that?


Kevin Drew?

I thought it was 'cocks'


cocks

isnt it?


HEALTH T-Shits

seem to be the cool thing right now...

YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER

I kinda want one and a No Age one and a Mae Shi one and yeah what ever I didnt go to ATP who was the stand out for ya?


i've had that shirt for like 5 months

i'm totally ahead of the curve 8)

worlds end girlfriend
raekwon dropping an 'n-bomb' on me
neutral milk hotel singing at five am
de la soul

lowlights:
not remembering friday night, and being horrible to a couple people and texting several people the same thing about 20 times


I have a blank on friday night

and to be honest, from the stuff Simon has told me, it's for the best.


The National

Envy
Okkervil River

Let down: Battles


can someone tell me

how were polvo? and people better had watched phosphorescent.


pretty dull. :(


My first ATP

Good stuff:

De La Soul
Ghostface
The National (WOW)
Broken Social Scene (I cried I was so happy)
Battles
Envy starting in Reds while Battles played Atlas and everyone thinking there was an earthquake
Jens Lekman
Trail of Dead
Crazy Horse on Saturday night, amazing scenes
Jamie and I asking "the fit girl" who got on stage with Ghostface if she "squirted" on him
The Paper Chase
Having a lightswitch rave
Completing Time Crisis 2

Bad stuff:

I thought Sunset Rubdown were crap
Taking my jeans off on Sunday morning to discover a 4 inch hole in them
Falling over into a puddle having just pwned some Kiwi guy in a 2 man scrum
Finding some prescription sunglasses on the floor and wearing them all night and then being unable to see properly when I took them off
Hitting Abandon Reply the first time I wrote this
Missing Silver Jews because I was watching Back To The Future
The bus back to Taunton, it stopped every two seconds and a load of old moaning cunts kept getting on, pissed me right off


That was pretty good when Atlas finished

and the floorboards stopped bouncing for a second and then Envy thundering up from Reds.


Also:

Bad things = Koppaberg. Was a nightmare getting it there, and I have the worst heart burn ever and it's turned my wee gelatinous and pear scented. I'm never drinking it again as long as I live


How were

The Field
Sunset Rubdown
Stars of the lid

thanks


I was really disappointed by Sunset Rubdown

But I seem to be in the minority


When Sunset Rubdown went from

'Shut Up I Am Dreaming' to 'Taming Of The Hands' straight off it was erotically powerful.


stars of the lid

were absolutely mindblowing. review coming soon!


The Field = great

one of my highlights, along with..
Battles x 2
The Broken Social Scene/J Mascis/EITS collaboration type thing
Animal Collective
Worlds End Girlfriend whilst lying down, terrified
Okkervil River
Talking to Patrick Pestorius after he'd just come up on acid (I think)
Thinking an angry Japanese guy was in Mono, and drunkenly running away
Pizza Hut playing 'Mirrored' all the way through

I could go on forever, but my brain doesn't work at the moment.


i'm home

other highlights:
jamie giving me meal tokens and me having the most nutritionally rich weekend of my life

werk and his chaletpeople just generally being messy, messy people

writing and recording MY AIDS, YOUR FACE with Kid_A

that sort of thing


oh and

dancing on my knees with heartbrokenstar. cant even remember what to. it was special tho.


bad things:

my phone running out after a day, and me being far too much of a dickhead to have brought my charger


It was The National

I have picz


you got home at the same time as me

what are you moaning about?


which message

where?


I sent Jo a text

Never mind. You'll get it eventually.


Hi!

I left my phone battery at home (don't ask). I will go and find it in a minute and charge it. Is it Lost spoilers?


It's actually me saying

"I'm going to wait until you get back to watch Lost". Amongst other stuff.


that you ditched me?

after we'd made plans and i went to quite some lengths to stick to them? and that i just got your txt and it was sent about an hour before we were supposed to meet up?

i told lovely canadian girl from the train home last weekend what happened and she told me i should spit on my hand and slap you. i won't do that.


you "went to quite some lengths to stick to them"?

jesus christ chris. i didn't ditch you, i had forgotten that i had already made plans. i apologised to you for my forgetfulness but it really isn't as big an issue as you seem to be making it out to be, we're both home now aren't we!


yeah i went to sleep

outside of your chalet so that i could meet you on time


i didnt have an alarm clock

but yeah i could have just ditched you and got an early bus and been happy and lived longly and prosperously. but then you had to do this. betray me


Is this drama a cover up

for post-mdma depression?


i was just very, very tired

have i met you?


hi!

i liked

battles!!
jens lekman <3<3<3
broken social scene, of what i saw
de la soooulll
the fact that portsmouth won the fa cup
the fact that this was my attire last night: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3264/2504457565_f083bda81f_b.jpg

i disliked
animal collective YAWN
some butlins worker asking me if i was "smacked off my face, fucking mental" to which i replied "you work at butlins"


zzz

bss, tod, and explosions were good.

fairly gutted about missing most of mono (door-nazi), all of adem (asleep), and battles (queue)

not a bad weekend


You lost

Just after you guys went to the sports bar the queue flew by and Sarah and I watched them in acres of space with an unobscured view!


they were better on saturday anyway

longer better set.


Only by 15 minutes

which in Battles terms is one song


life is fucking brilliant.

why is this on the social board? i just posted this on a music board thread, but whatevs:

i hurt less that after last week's. broken social scene made me feel amazing. okkervil river ("this is a song about MURDER!" "wooooO!") were on fine form. animal collective... OH THE DRUMS! dinosaur jr were great. battles were incredible. so were the octopus project. ...trail of dead slayed my face and if they don't make another great record i will cry. the drumming game in the arcades has destroyed my thumbs. i now have a user account on the golf game in the sports bar. i don't suck at bowling as much as i thought i did, although i do still suck. chalet raves are fucking hilarious, as is the sight of jamie summers losing it after two ciders and some andrew wk and running around with a box on his head. not having both ATP channels blows. drinking baileys and watching baseball until 4am is definitely the way to end a festival. david whathisfacesilverjews is like a drugged up college professor. did i mention broken social scene? leaving ATP makes me sad.


go on, say it

Pitchfork was better!


pitchfork was better

apart from the whole me being dressed as a pokémon thing. and the fact that even though camber is more intimate, minehead doesn't feel like i'm walking around in a really filthy council estate.


i preferred this one

but that's because i really dislike the camber site.


WHAT?

50s!? Quads!? Awesome beach!?

What is there to dislike!?


i just don't like it

as claire said, it looks like a depressing council estate. the chalets are unpleasant (why are the 8 person the same size as 4 person?) and unsuitable for parties. ours was infested with ants, and i've heard similar from others. i found the place really unfriendly compared to minehead - chalets in camber come with a price list for breakages, chalets in minehead come with a note telling you to speak to housekeeping if something is missing and you need it. the squares are nice touch during the day but make it really hard to sleep because there's always some cunt playing music outside and the security don't seem to care. the downstairs venue gets really uncomfortable because it's always too crowded, and the upstairs room has no atmosphere if you're not right near the front, and it was unbearably warm in both. there's only one evening social spot. there's fuck all to do that doesn't involve band watching, and everything closes at night.

blah blah blag. i'd really much rather go to minehead.


You raise some very good points.

However, the last song played all weekend this time round in the Queen Vic was Butthole Surfers. So it wins.


true

that disco was a total win.


Was that Sweet Loaf?

MAN, I so wanted to get up and dance to that, but couldn't really. At all.

SATAAAAAAAAAN.


Yeah

I was trying to work out how to dance to it while grinning like a prize chump and working out air guitar routintes with a cider in one hand and a Corky's in the other. It was messy.


Faded seaside glamour

and the prison block-like setup absolutely made ATP for me.

I have not been to Minehead, but the Camber chalets really are, I think, one of the most beautiful things in the world :)


"the chalets are unpleasant"

Hang on, when I made this comment last year you proceeded to go on about how that didn't really matter as you only went there to sleep or something...


holy shit

i forgot the national and klaire dressed as pikachu.

no more ATP for six months :(


has ANYONE, EVER had both atp channels

functioning properly?
