On the Sunday night he started chatting to me about tattoo's which then turned into a discussion about Auschwitz. Quite a nice guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know much about david cross but i take it he's a controversial comedian. A few folk in my party was well upset with him going on about that to be honest.

milners Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Right highlights for me was:Dinosaur JrBroken Social SceneThe Brian Jonestown MassacreTeenage Fanclub Sleater-KinneyThe Gossip SpoonJoanna Newsom (Fantastic)Lightning BoltThe DecemberistsThe ShinsElectrelaneThe new pornographersBeen to about 5 of these ATP festivals/Bowlie Weekender and that is the first time i've heard a band getting heckled - Radar Bros which i thought was ok but not as good as 5 years ago. I didn't get the person heckling them as there is other things to do if you do not like the band. Also seen a few footie tops which i've never really seen before including a Rangers top??? I suppose there was a few leeds/watford since their teams was in the play-offs on the sunday.Surprised that downstairs was busy every time there was a band on and Clinic was put in the wrong floor for me as i only got to see the last 3 or 4 tracks.Very disappointed that Band of Horses didn't play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was getting heckled as soon as he came onstage, due to the people being too impatient to see Sleater-Kinney (who were boring). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to say i've been to quite a few ATP and that is the worst crowd i've seen yet for the weekender. Maybe ATP has had its day although there was something about trying to get to 10 years.

The amount of people chatting throughout was fucking shameful. If you want to have a gossip about how minced your going to get that evening then piss off to the bar and let the rest of us enjoy the music.I dont understand why the comedian was heckled for remarks about jewish child sex.
