Saw that and thought exactly the same thing!

[Flaminglippy]

Flaming Lips doing 'End of The Road'...hmmmm. Would have thought they'd be well out of their budget...a Kendal possibility given they've already said they'd like to get them there after Jodrell.

Looks like a decent line-up that...wheres me credit card??

We'll be doing some festival slots this summer. Playing OTCC and some brand new songs. Full details to follow. We're a bit excited.

[ramragon]

I was thinking the same about the flaming lips, looks like theyve become a bit more affordable. Id enjoy em, not sure how theyd go down with a mainstream mixed audience though.

[LOCHLAND5]

Flaming lips = dog shit .

[ramragon]

Ha ha. U aint going anyways according to u !

[ramragon]

[ramragon]

Thursday night shopping is my thing don't bring the misses into it !

I would jump over on Thursday but I fear you wouldn't turn up after last year ! Let of the leash on Sunday and spent Monday spewing on your way home and all the other fun you had that day ! Ha ha ! Think you maybe on a tight leash this year !

[ramragon]

Cheers for bringing back the memories, she'll be fine, she doesnt think ur going ! The mistake i made was supping loads of bottles of koppaberg mixed fruit an eating nowt !

[LOCHLAND5]

Ha ha you can't blame me for your boozing I only had 3 or 4 on the Sunday !

I had blown over 400 by that stage over the bar and felt I had donated enough to improve manchesters economy !

[ramragon]

I see the wild beasts have been announced for another festival, can still see them playing a part on the line up being a local band. could also see chic and Nile Rogers appearing as well.

Are we allowing final adjustments to our top 20s ? I still think we could have a line up announcement by end of feb when the ticket prices rise. What about saying final adjustments to be made by midnight thursday ?

[Marc Whiffen]

1. New Order
2. Beady Eye. The Horrors
3. Embrace
4. Miles Kane White Lies
5. Jimi Goodwin
6. Ordinary Boys
7. Twisted Wheel
8. Swim Deep

10. Dexters
11. Darlia
12. Circa Waves
13. Orphan Boy

15. Vance Joy

Yeah...as long as we don't allow amendments after the announcement...although thats no guarantee of 100% accuracy either!

2. Beady Eye. The Horrors.

That made me laugh.

[Marc Whiffen]

After hearing the new track from The Horrors and seeing their show the other day, they are planning for headline slots. Beady Eye, were back playing live before I thought they would be, so they will more than likely play the bigger ones now.

Didnt manage to collect my winnings last year but hopefully will get round to pay my pint if i lose this year

Happy to go double or quits Thurlow.

How many do you think will be needed to be the champ this year ?

Think 6 would do it which is atleast 4 better than my personal best.

Aye we'll definately have to have a catch up this year so the winner can have a few beers. 8pm thursday camp site bar. Bring it on !

In your case mr numb, wickerman 6.30pm thursday, the bar next to the main stage with a ream of beer tokens in our hands ! Unless you wanna go upmarket and make the pimms bar the venue of choice (assuming its there this year !)

Won`t be down till Friday for KC but will pay up then if / when required. Thursday at Wickerman sounds like a plan but I will be a single parent until the Friday. They had the Jimmy Carr bar for the first time last year selling cans of red stripe for a couple of quid. The bar was just a big version of his head. I joke not. Actually did go to the Pimms bar as well last year. Can`t remember why as the smuggling was the easiest ever. I still have 2 Pimms jugs to show for it.

The " Carr bar " is in the attached vid after 37secs. Not that you wouldn`t believe me. For the record, she with the hair and the hat is not known to me.

Think the winner will be hitting double figure this year.....we all got a bit carried away with our expectations last year but from what i seen....most of this years predictions folk have made are possible
