Mmmrnnghnnnnnnrgnnn



  • i saw the kooks on tv

    i'm not one to rip into a band that are so uncool and already out of the realms of DiS, i'm no indie snob

    but they were disgusting

  • they've got it under control

    "We're asking any campers or visitors to T in the Park, if they come across a blood-stained knife or similar weapon please leave it and contact any police officer or any steward right away"

    • "btw...

      we're asking visitors, if they come across a murderer to report them to any police officer or steward right away."

  • there was a quote about the stabbinators

    something like

    "we're looking for two men who may well be covered in blood."

    no shit.

  • i heard someone say...

    "the average adult will spend £400 per festival they go to". What now, you just said £400, that's silly. No festival in the world is worth £400.

    • 130-160

      on a ticket if it's reading or one of those...and then, er 240 pounds on alchohol, food and travel? Maybe if you include the old cliche of drugs...?

  • I went once and it was truly awful.

    I've said before that it was like Sauchiehall St on a Saturday night, but in a field, but I'll say it again:

    it was like Sauchiehall Street on a Saturday night, but in a field.

    I was on a train a wee while ago and heard a guy say to his pal: "By 'eh way, ah goat mah ticket fur T in the Park the day. Cannae even mind who's playin'. But fuck it, ah'm jus' goin' tah get mangled!"

    It makes me sad :(

    • i wish people in slough talked like that

      was the child kyle from the view?

      • i saw him standing outside a pub once

        true story.

        if you ask very nicely i'll tell you what pub it was.

      • no, just one of your generic LADZ ON TOUR types.

        • i'm actually watching the highlights of t in the park now

          some interviews with the scotch. "ahm here te see THE FRATELLIS" mostly. sotland churns out a disproportionate amount of silly bands.
          lucky you have danananackroyd and PRIMAL SCREAM

          • The shit bands:good bands ratio

            is pretty much the same as the rest of the world. It just seems to be more accentuated since it's Scotland, for some reason.

  • my wee sister text me

    to tell me mgmt were shit live. that's about all i know.

    • why are

      all scottish wee, WHY?!

      • actually,

        i find the majority of scottish men that i know are actually a lot taller than englshmen....

        • -

          actually, you might as well ask
          "why does irn bru ALWAYS taste better out of a glass bottle?"....

          • Because out of a can it collects the metallic taste

            and in plastic it gets warmer quicker and is subjected to a vastly less pure container. You saying scottish people are always touching an unpure container?

          • coz the cans

            give it that shitty metallic taste

          • i was being confusing

            i actually meant that the scots seem to over-use the word wee way too much

            • i know.

              i was playing with your words, as a toddler would play with a bucket and spade. only less messy. or maybe not.

              • or a scot

                would play with their irn bru, stereotypes ftw, since when do toddlers always have buckets and spades :D

                • since when

                  did I always play with words? ;)

                  • bah stereotypes have to be made

                    so consider that one made

          • The answer to that is that glass bottles ones are made in scotland

            where as the others aremade in england and use English water.

  • its a fucking abomination

    full of pissed/pilled up cunts looking for fights and to hear the same three songs they get blasted at them every shitting day by radio1/xfm but this time "live"

    also the acoustic "performance" by that waste of skin from glasvegas would have been funny if it wasnt so depressing

    • i thought that was

      pretty touching, but was ruined by the presenters amazing false-cheeriness after it

      • the deliberate

        "schemey" accent gives me the boak

        he also gave some contradictory tale about "the last time i was hear i didnt have a ticket and just jumped the fence" then about 2mins later went "aye last time i was hear carl from dirty pretty things invited me".

        • well yeah

          what he was saying was a shitty sob story, but the actual song was heartfelt, at least to me, maybe i was tricked!

          • nah not at all

            each to their own and all that

            i still also find it weird seeing biffy getting such a big push i.e. using "mountains" as the main credit thing

            good on em though

            • your overuse of quote marks

              is making me doubt the very fabric of the universe. "males" and "females" existing! Eh!

  • Why do people still sing along, dance and sway

    to Amy Winehouse. If you're going to see someone make a complete mess of themselves on stage, fair enough. But why cheer it and pretend it's good?

    • Presumably this Jeff

      is being lined up as the next big youth TV star?

      • the one who is a knobcheese

        with russell brand hair?

        • It's more like snow_brigade

          hair, but probably. The one who's out on site being a knob.

          • with those 'hilarious'

            comedy clips of him running round with shitty bands

  • It looks so devoid of atmosphere.

    There's no magic.

    They all hate Glastonbury though, the faithfuls. Whenever they're interviewed on tele or radio, they always seem to drop in something like "They say Glastonbury's good but this is so much better".

    I bet.

    • It is always the cliche of Scottish crowds.

      I would love to be the first band to say the they are pretty crap and are all total scenesters here for the three singles.

  • 32 year old found dead in tent

    and a 22 year old in intensive care after knife/body interface according to BBC Scotland.

    The suspects were described as 'skinny youths in tracksuit tops'.

    Like needles in haystacks..........

  • i saw the second quote

    on reporting scotland, and said to my mum 'that's why i'm not going'.

  • my two friends got robbed on the thursday night whilst they were asleep in their tent!

    they nicked their bags, booze, tickets and around £400. They had put the money under their matresses (smack in the middle apparently) and the thieves would have had to lean over them to get to their other stuff. 25 had been arrested and around 30 tents had been robbed! They managed to get their tickets reimbursed luckily (apparently them and one other tent and one other tent were the only one who got this). Fucking arseholes who go to that festival.

  • i

    went four years ago.
    some people pissed on our tent whilst we were in it.
    and david bowie cancelled and was replaced by the darkness.
    i'm never going back.
