Have just come back from Barcelona where i went to the sonar festival and it was fucking great. You get to hear some brilliant music in the most beautiful city i've ever been to. There was a wicked John Peel tribute by Simon Russel from Rough Trade, Khonnor were awesome, as were Hot Chip. The night festival was amazing. Chemical Brothers, Le Tigre, 2 Many DJs, Soulwax, De La Soul, Cut Chemist, LCD Soundsystem, Luke Vibert and Richie Hawtin closing at 7am as the sun came up was unbelievable. Kanye West even made an appearance with De la Soul. It was the most good natured festival I have ever been to. I reccommend that anyone looking for a festival to go to abroad or are planning to go to Barcelona next june should check out sonar. Also the new Bikini Atoll album is really good.
