Guest batterypowpow Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Apologies if this has been discussed before but will there be any TV coverage of Connect at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 yeah i meant that the gig tonight is a very good deal. unfortunately i am absolutely knackered having averaged 3/4 hours sleep a night the past three days. so i won't be going.connect. bands amazing, well, the ones i saw. campsite/atmosphere/pissed up t in the park rejects were utter shite and drove me to hotels in glasgow the last two nights. bjork, mogwai, nouvelle vague, rilo kiley, bat for lashes, aereogramme all brilliant.

RF Scott Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Highlights...Meeting Newton Faulkner and the 1990's singerGetting abseloutely bevvedMogwai, Modest Mouse, Bjork and IdlewildSilent Disco!!!!!!!!!!!!Modest Mouse were rubbish! I almost snapped and punched the person next to me in anger when they sung the lyrics to doin' the cockroach at the end of their last song. Their rubbish last song. Fuck off Johnny Marr, too.

andrew. Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 i disagree. i thought modest mouse were ace. also beastie boys, regina spektor, css and being woken up by the sound of idlewild's soundcheck, were all highlights.i thought rilo kiley was a bit boring, to be honest.anyone visit club noir..? it seemed a bit seedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 best festival i have been to the year defo!!!Beastie Boys, Primal scream, Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem, Seasick steve, Css wer def my highlights!!!!i was really looking forward to seeing mogwai because the way everybody was shouting about then so waited for them and was so disapointed watched fist three or four songs and left so boring.atmosphere was amazing!! definatly going next year!

jon Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I thought all things considered it was a fantastic weekend. At the risk of sounding overly parochial, I thought Mogwai and Idlewild were immense and probably stole the show for me. Apart from our set obviously...Getting towed out of the site through Somme mud by a wheel spinning tractor was quite the exit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Great festival. I could complain about a couple of small things but generally everything was great.Musically the highlights for me were Bjork, LCD Soundsystem, M.I.A, Bat for Lashes, Patrick Wolf, The Go! Team, Modest Mouse, Sons and Daughters (the Seal cover was awesome:up:), CSS and Jarvis.The Silent Disco was great fun and there was some very good food to be had too.If the line up is as good I would definitely go back next year.

Larsen B Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'd second the generally positive sentiments concerning the whole weekend. My highlights were probably Jarvis, the Divine Comedy, the Go-Team and Patrick Wolf despite being on so damned early. Worst band i saw was Echo and the Bunnymen (despite being a fan). they sounded naff and Ian McCulloch is an annoying arrogant cock. When did he turn into such a lad?!

I saw them last year in belfast, and he was an arrogant bastard on stage (I know that's kind of what we want from him, but he went above and beyond the call of duty) and then backstage he was a whingeing prima-donna.However, if you rewind back in time, he was always a bit of anard bag, even though I love them.WOMAD fastival, 1982 - Echo and the Bunnymen featuring the Royal Burundi Drummers:"Hello, we're Echo and the Burundi-men. Bring on the Burundi boys." (said in a think Liverpudlian accent)He was always a bit of a lad....But they were brilliant when I saw them.

goldengates Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 thouht it was a decent festival, but not my fav of the year. Best bands for me were Mogwai and Super Furry Animals. Wish Mogwai could have been louder. Primal Scream were so disapointing, I miss Kevin Shields. I liked hearing Idlewild sound check too, it reminded me how much I used to love them. I skipped the last day and went into Glasgow to catch the black lips at optimo - not an ounce of regret in me, they were awsome! They are coming to the Lemon Tree in Nov and I recommend it. They have stuff on You tube if you want to check them out first. They call themselves flower punk "too punk to be hippy and too hippy to be punk". I would go back to connect next year again, if they could pull off another line-up in the similar vein. They should get an ATP stage on like they did at Primavera, that would work. Over and out.
