Thanks for writing this. Nothing will beat Funeral.

Time to modify my BDO prediction: Kings of Leon Arcade Fire Silverchair M.I.A Daft Punk MGMT John Butler Trio My Chemical Romance Pendulum Broken Bells Cut Copy The Ting Tings Mark Ronson Mystery Jets Andrew WK Birds of Tokyo Bliss N Eso Foals The Streets Ok Go Art Vs Science The Black Keys Sparkadia Operator Please Children Collide Boy & Bear

Aussie mercury prize style idea sounds good. We are all healthy debaters and can discuss the albums on their merits.

Oh my god the falls line up is terrible. Leaves the door wide open for big day out. As Jamie pointed out, the big drawcards are the national and Interpol. Last year had such a better line up!

I'm always in a strokes mode so that would be amazing. Yeah you are right about chemical brothers, they are coming in march. Daft punk could easily close the boiler room but it's a long shot. The other festivals are just too small. The falls announcement should eliminate a few from the bdo list.

Fair call. Kol would be an awesome headliner. Who would entice you to BDO?

Reasons?

Massive FALLS FESTIVAL announcement tomorrow morning 9am! Looking forward to this. Because it pretty much sorts out BDO too to an extent. And Laneway. And in other news, Mark Ronson and M.I.A have been pretty much confirmed for BDO 2011. And my good money would be on Kings Of Leon Headlining, with Arcade Fire 2nd last act. So from what I know, I am guessing (so far): Kings of Leon Arcade Fire Silverchair Chemical Brothers Angus & Julia Stone M.I.A Daft Punk MGMT John Butler Trio My Chemical Romance Pendulum Cut Copy The Ting Tings Mark Ronson Andrew WK Birds of Tokyo Bliss N Eso Foals The Streets Ok Go Art Vs Science The Black Keys Sparkadia Operator Please Children Collide Boy & Bear (im going to keep modifying this until the sep announcement to see how close I get)

It's a pretty solid album. It doesn't warrant comparisons to other bands or artists at all.

Yeah it sounds great live. I yiked too.

I think solar is one of those random ones in vic http://www.solarfestival.com.au/ If things go well, I plan to be at: Falls BDO Laneway V Festival

Yeah, thats the danger of having two lead-out singles coming out a long time before their debut album release. Im hoping the album quality isn't at fault... I might stream it before I buy the cd.

Start booking your flights for this summer then eddie

Solar Laneway Future V Festival (could be back in 2011) Thats pretty much the lot

"The Suburbs" only went to #6 here. Bliss and eso got #1. F u c k you, Australia.

I don't think so. They're still actively promoting it on Channel V. No Sold Outs yet, but there's only limited seats in Melbourne I think. Some massive festival announcements coming this week..... *cough* *falls*.......

Got to have hope! Manic street preachers tour just got announced for novber, they were a bro chance. Looking forward to seeing them!

http://www.splendidalbums.com.au/ check it out, you get a free album sampler if you've purchased a cd of one of the splendour acts!

I like his "viva la vida" cover :P

THIS I hate pirates... arrrr

That was insane. Setlist: Ready To Start Neighborhood #2 (Laika) No Cars Go Haiti Empty Room The Suburbs The Suburbs (Cont.) Crown Of Love Rococo Intervention We Used To Wait Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) Rebellion (Lies) Month Of May Keep The Car Running Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) Sprawl II Wake Up So a few different to the one Mike had the other night...
