Joshuwarr Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 The Cribs would be a brilliant headliner. Absoloutely brilliant live band, now Johnny Marr is their new guitarist they may start to have a much wider appeal. Met them the other day and all of them were so lovely Potential headliners: The Cribs Last Shadow Puppets Justice Belle & Sebastian (again ) Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band British Sea Power Fun Lovin Criminals other bands: Those Dancing Days Edwyn Collins The Duke Spirit M.I.A Lovvers The Death Set Adam Green Crystal Castles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just like to see some of the Jamaican artists that originated ska and reggae while they're still around, and I'd like to see some pure ska and reggae rather than ska-jazz, ska-punk, reggae-rock, or whatever. Jeez. Edited August 28, 2008 by llcoolphil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llcoolphil Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 little car said: Sorry, but that's nonsense. Ska originated in Jamaica among those musicians, and those musicians wrote and performed many of the classic ska tracks that have been covered so often since. They were influenced by earlier music but came up with something new and fresh. As did the 2-tone era bands. El Pussycat, by their own admission perform "in the famous Jamaican dance hall style of the 50's & 60's" (from their website). Nothing wrong with that, but not as interesting to me as the original musicians. If you feel differently that's up to you, it's (supposedly) a free country.

andyblack Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 yeah if we could ever have afforded it (hello you mystery sponsors.....hello, if you fancy it?). i'd quite like to have EMF play the fringe. they get richard marsh from bentley rythym ace to replace the late zac foley. but sadly, im sure any band with ian dench in doesnt come that cheap (since his day job is songwriting for some considerable us stars these days).

little car Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 llcoolphil said: There is nothing nonsense about it. How new is something that can be traced back in a direct lineage through all forms of popular music that preceded it and further into classical music? It wasn't new and it wasn't original, though it may have freshened things up. It isn't a free country by any means though this is a forum where views can be and are freely expressed, which is exactly what Im doing. My point isn't about what you find interesting or would like to see next year - that really is entirely up to you. My issue is with the derogatory way you refer to stuff you find less interesting - and your original description of El Pussycat was both dismissive and derogatory. By the fact that El Pussycat play in the dance hall style of the 50's and 60's, how were the artists of the 60's in any way original? The fact that they were recreating stuff of the previous decade clearly highlights that as nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggae rather than ska, and with plenty of Jamaican heritage (including Myrna Hague), but British all the same. Rico Rodriguez headlined Musician three (?) years ago.

Because i don't recall any other Ska last year and this year's were from the same outfit. I haven't twisted any of your words, just quoted them back at you. My underlying issue is music snobbery and my complete aversion to it. And if the topic is what you'd like to see next year, you have no need to comment on what has gone previously, that's all.
