Grace. Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Haha, really? I'd rather have an amazing 30min set than a dull 90min set. (Not sure that's entirely what you meant, but hey). Stupid work. But hey, Sunday pay :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaths_friend Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 hahahah and he's a tad weird too! well the thing is i usually only go see a band if i like their albums or a ton of their singles. and i'm talking about major bands here. for example if i go see arctic monkeys tomorrow and they decide to play almost every song off their new album and a few from each other album and end up doing a 30 song set. in my mind there's no way that could beat a 18 song set regardless how intense it is. for example this M&S set here. 70mins in now, only 1 album behind them and there hasn't been a dull moment yet.

Grace. Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Seriously though, I understand what you mean. But if a band's good live, they're going to be good regardless so of course a longer set is going to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaths_friend Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 alrighty. 2 days down 1 to go. I've only ever seen The Strokes do "festival sets" before so it will awesome to be able to watch a full 1.5hr set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace. Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 So, when's the next webcast? :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 next good one is Lollapalooza. but in the meantime i'll be looking for a place to stream Glasto off bbc. rock werchter used to have an awesome multi stage webcast so with some luck that might return but it might be a regional only thing. i'll post footage from all the other telecast festivals as they happen. but Pitchfork Fest in mid july is usually webcast. so thats the next stop for us :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace. Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Sweeet. I'm really going to be relying on you when it comes to these things, I'd really have no idea about any festivals going on outside Aus besides the lineups! Thanks for doing such a great job so far though! :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 awww you're very welcome. i'm glad someone else is just as interested as i am. people dream about going to paris, london, madrid, NY, tokyo etc etc. i dream about going to roskilde, t in the park, coachella and bonnaroo lol.

Grace. Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Add Glastonbury to that list, and I'm the same :D I'm sure I'd enjoy the local scenery at those places too, though :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 oh yeah that was a very very small sample of what i want to do. Glasto is my number 1 and i will be sure to be there in 2013. 2014 at the latest!! i gotta do a few more aussie fests first just to get the hang of the experience.

Grace. Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 ^ *Aussie camping festivals? Have you been to any yet or will Splendour be your first? :awesome: Wahhh that's so close! That's awesome, going to Glasto will be such an amazing experience!! Going there one day would just complete my life. It definitely won't be happening as early as 2013 (that's the year I'll graduate) but one day, I will go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
