Like- E- Lie
that's how i say it, and i don't really care if i'm wrong.
I asked a Swedish girl on my course at uni
She said Lykke is quite a popular girls name back home, but she wasn't sure about the Li, but says it should sound something like: Lurka Lee
Almost sounds like 'luckily' if you say it fast.
i thought it was
likely
why does the line-up to this
seem so uninspiring this year???
GRIMSHAW
DAMN GRIMMY
and his meddling ways!
George Clinton
Lee Perry
Sugarhill Gang
Think what you like about the rest of the lineup, this is gonna be amaazing
great
three archaic, vaguely fun acts i wouldn't pay to go and see if they came to my town
Pete and the Pirates are nice boys
world class chain smokers too.
indeed they are
i'm glad i finally get the chance to see them at a festival :)
