It's the Woodstock of our time.

Christ, I just looked at the lineup.

It's like that one time I went to Wendy House in Leeds, but an entire festival based around people that still listen to KMFDM.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 8:50, Reply)

Yeah that's about right
In fact KMFDM were scheduled to play last year but pulled out. Imperative Reaction are headlining this year. I am massively, massively excited about this and fuck anyone who mocks me for it.

No even that treething festival that you keep banging on about !

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:01, Reply)

See, the best thing about Bradford is the fit Asian birds, but Martin's a homosexual so he misses out on that one saving grace in an otherwise bleak and suffering city.

What better city in which to hold a goth festival than one populated by intolerant cunts who like scrappin'

It's not really goth though, is it.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:05, Reply)

Not really
but a lot of the attendees are
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:08, Reply)

A lot of the attendees still seem to think it's 1995.
It's pitiful really.

I was a big industrial fan when I was 15 or so.
That's what pointed me in the direction of Warp and Rephlex.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 8:54, Reply)

Queer.
LFO pointed me in the direction of Warp. When they released loads of shit I pointed myself in the direction of other things.

They released some pretty decent compilations of early bleep techno which I have (I think that was Warp anyway).

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:02, Reply)

Early autechre as well, Incunabula and Amber.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:04, Reply)

i still listen to those on a regular basis, true story

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:05, Reply)

Me too.
Autechre vanished up their own arses. Started out making very melodic, crystalline, hip hop influenced electonics, descended into glitch for the sake of it, alienating shit.

Those fellas know their way around a melody fo sho.

As if Jo Wiley has even the faintest idea who Autechre are.

Ooh, Push Button Objects, that takes me back.
Shit lineups though, you need to get down to InFest, that's proper electronic music, not that pretentious 'underground' shit that you listen to, purely because it's obscure.

It's obscure for a reason, fucknuts.

Warp lost their way when they started signing guitar bands.
LFO were great. Most of their acts were, some still are- Jamie Lidell, for example, is excellent.

What compilations are those? Artificial Intelligence?
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:03, Reply)

first two of those were boss

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:05, Reply)

Yer
Did you get any of those Warp 10 compilations? I have the remixes one, Mogwai covered Arcadian by Link. It's well good.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:09, Reply)

nah artificial intelligence 1 & II were my warp period

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:12, Reply)

That's no bad thing.
Were you not into Boards of Canada and Plaid and that?
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:12, Reply)

well yeah, but haven't bothered with any warp compilations since artificial ii, not sure why

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 9:19, Reply)

I haven't kept up with Warp for a few years now.
Like I said, they lost focus when they started signing bands like Maximo Park. They nearly signed Mogwai when they left Chemikal Underground, I would have approved of that.

You into Seefeel? I've been digging them lately, they're vintage Warp.

Darth, you're a reboot Battlestar Galactica fan right?
I'm up to about the 8th episode of the 2nd series and it's only through sheer power of will and bloody-mindedness that I keep plugging away trying desperately to see what everyone thinks is so great about this series. I really must be missing something because, outside of Edward James Olmos, it's just dull and shit and badly acted.

You'll love it, you will love it.
As more cylons are revealed you see more on their ships. Apollo and Starbuck get better. Felix Gaeta and Saul become some of the best characters, and then there's big explosions.

What Chompy said
The acting improves hugely as the whole thing gets a bit less earnest. The second half of the second series is just fantastic.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 8:51, Reply)

Fair enough, I'll keep at it
To be fair, the way they've handled to Baltar character has been pretty great but the series isn't gelling as a whole yet.
( Bill Clay a.k.a. Claudio, Thu 25 Apr 2013, 8:55, Reply)

It comes together much more as the series arc emerges
Christ that sounded pretentious

Well if you don't like it by now you won't like the rest of it
Cos the third season starts becoming shit and apart from 3 episodes, the fourth is a big steaming turd
