^^ then you're clearly not on enough drugs.

i've spent the last couple of days surfing the net looking for as many major festival line ups as i can. and here is what i've come up with. i just thought it would be interesting to compare the different line ups from across the globe. who is doing the most fests? who is headlining in the UK but opening the fest in the US? which fest has the best line up? wtf are the black eyed peas doing on these lineups? so on and so forth. the whole thing is a little messy at the moment and is very much a work in progress. and pardon the slight aussie bias on the list.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftvg_ZXiozA]YouTube- Thom Yorke and Atoms for Peace playing "Harrowdown Hill" at Roseland Ballroom in NYC on 4.5.2010[/ame] i know its very very old news that flea and thom are in a band together, but im still struggling to come to terms with it. never in my wildest dreams would i have ever imagined this happening. being a supermassive huge fan of both radiohead and the chili peppers (and we're a very very rare breed) this is just incredible.

so what do we all think we're getting in 2010? new thom album? new radiohead album? both? neither?

cant wait for the footage to start hitting youtube.

For those of you not on Twitter here is the show so far 1. The eraser 2. Analyse 3. The clock 4. Black swan 5. Ship divided 6. Atoms for peace 7. And it rained all night 8. Harrowdown hill 9. Cymbal rush 10. New Song (thom solo) 11.the daily mail 12. Everything in it's right place 13. Paperbag writer 14. New Song ( fullband) 15. Judge jury? 16. Hollow earth 17. Pulled apart by horses end of show?

ive tried a few torrents but they never work. and had no luck with rapidshare,mediafire etc links. i saw it once on tv and regret not recording it. it is a truly magnificent performance.

^^ do you have glasto 07 in high quality video? preferrably in avi.

webber was dogged by red bulls pit crew. his pit stop was almost 2 seconds slower than the one vettel got. nevertheless us aussies are happy usually just to see webber finish a race, a podium is awesome.

are we allowed to mention Jonny Greenwood in this argument. or does he embarrass the others so badly that its unfair to include him in this. nevertheless ALL HAIL THE GREAT MAN! for he possesses more talent in his fringe than all 3 members of muse put together.

Triple J Live At The Wireless line up for April 05/04 - Mumford & Sons - Oxford Art Factory 12/04 - Laura Marling - Speigeltent Sydney Festival 19/04 - Them Crooked Vultures

yeah. shes playing the same night as vampire weekend is in western sydney so i'll have to miss her. but i saw her play a 40min set at BDO where she did basically every song i wanted to hear of hers. maybe on next album tour i might go see her own headlining shows. for anyone on here who uses fasterlouder forums who would know about the constant discussion on there about aussies bands continuously touring australia, some twice a year, most at least every year. they tend to be the bands who have been around for a long time but struggled to crack foreign markets. they also struggle to play venues bigger than metro or enmore in sydney (ie 1500 seaters). in my opinion these two issues go hand in hand. i understand that it is much more expensive and less profitable to tour overseas than it is home. but if these bands took a risk and spent alot more time in europe and the US then their fans back home would actually miss them and instead of thinking "oh screw it i'll miss them this time but i'll check them out when they tour sydney in 3 months" they might go out of their way to see them live. which will mean more demand for their shows in turn bigger venues. they need to realise that their aussie fans will always be there, triple j or 3RRR or fbi will always play their music and they'll be loved just for being aussie. but england, europe and the US will forget them in a snap if they dont remain active over there. i know its much easier said than done. but the success of cut copy, angus n julia stone and the john butler trio overseas through constant touring is proof that basing yourself elsewhere works pretty well. Violent Soho have taken that initiative lately and i think it will pay dividends for them.

the season is far from over. Even if we don't win our FOURTH CONSECUTIVE title we're still a good chance in the champs league we only need 1-0 over bayern. Every club likes to think they don't depend on one player but u take malouda out of Chelsea, take fabregas out of arsenal (94mins to score against wolves) or even torres from Liverpool they would all struggle. I accept Chelsea are now favourites but anything can happen.

thats why im worried about the show that im going to on the 12th. which i think is the 15th show on the tour by which time they would of criss crossed this kinda big land of ours several times over in just a few days.

^^ i guess both of those bands do beat their drums over their charity work, but their intentions are good. the reason why we tend to here so much more about coldplays and U2's charity is because each band has a celebrity in it. whereas muse dont really have much of a celebrity status despite being a massive band.

the only on stage thing that matt bellamy does that really annoys me is the way he often says stuff to the audience while he still has the effects running on his mic so it comes out sounding like distorted nonsense. otherwise i think he is awesome, but out of the 3 frontmen we're talking about here, i would say he is the weakest but he is in esteemed company.

The Strokes are in town late july and i really want to go!! but 90 bucks! what a rip off! if they promised Is This It from start to finish then i would consider more strongly.

Found this amazing channel on youtube!! its a channel dedicated to the Falls Festival which takes place every year around new years time. usually the only professional footage from the festival is the stuff triple j do but this youtube channel has over 100 videos from the festival, mostly footage from last years event at Lorne. you have live performances from temper trap, grizzly bear, yeah yeah yeahs, midnight juggernauts and a ton of others. well worth checking out. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=fallsfestival#p/a

not sure if this is an april fools joke or not? Muse are set to play 27 live shows in the UK and Europe this summer and rather than pick the whole set for each show themselves, they'd like to know what songs you want to hear! choose the show you're going to and pick the three songs you'd most like Muse to play. The band will endeavour to include at least one from the top five in the setlist at each show!

thats awesome!! but surely you could of gotten him to sign something a little better than a cash grabbing compilation disc. sgt peppers? abbey road? revolver?

The Strokes are headlining. Mumford & Sons and Temper Trap obviously on the line up.

^^ yeah i see where you're coming from there. but care to elaborate?

i feel out of place enough at gigs when im with a group of mates. being alone would make me really uncomfortable. but i guess with JBT its at the apple store so i can pretend im shopping for my second macbook in as many months while watching the gig lol. i havent been to a show in 4 weeks and im really missing it! just really sucks that ive set myself a motto to never make friends based purely on their music tastes. if i didnt have that self-imposed policy i might not have as much trouble!!

how many people are there actually in Arcade Fire? there are 6 in that picture. there are 7 names in the neon bible liner notes. there are 8 names on the front page of their website. they perform on stage with 10 people.

^^ ive been enjoying that album also. but i find myself skipping some of the weaker tracks. Clarion Call, This Momentary, Halcyon and Counterpoint are all brilliant. the rest........meh.
