EARTH

looking promising i'd say. i did wonder what influences were gonna come from portishead. EARTH as well!

Looking alright so far. I think I might go because some friends of mine seem super keen to go...as to whether it'll come to actually going or not I don't know.

If I lived on the same CONTINENT, there's no way in hell i'd NOT be going to this...

...lucky bastards.

Part of me would like to go again, but the rest of me thinks that my enjoyment of last year's was down to all the planets being correctly aligned and that subsequent attendences might not be quite the same.

god, I wish they'd move ATP back to Camber Sands... Butlins at Minehead really just doesn't compare. In pretty much every way.

No matter how good the line-ups are.. after my first experience at Minehead it's always tempered by a feeling of "ugh.. Butlins-Minehead".

Anyone who experienced ATP-at-Pontins-in-Camber-Sands before ATP-at-Butlins-in-Minehead will say the same. No queues, everything closer together, an upstairs-downstairs venue arrangement so you could just run up and down (through a giant purple octapus and up some stairs) between acts or during.. with nothing but air-hockey and pinball machines in between.. no constant flashing of wristbands (once you were in you were in).. no restrictive separate colour wristbands.. no getting turned away from closed doors because of overcrowding... it was just a better place to hold the festival.

whiney whiney whiney.. bitch bitch bitch...

sounds like a drugged-out fun time!
