How Influential is the EFestivals Community?

[eFestivals]

Actually you're starting to sell it to me now...

 

If I had to vote for an efester to curate the Glastonbury line-up I'd...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

vote for Matt42. We'd have at least 20 headliners each year.

Neil, do you think Emily's Flag questionnaire the other year might have been spawned from this forum? It was a hot topic on here at the time?

I've no idea. Possible, I guess.

[parsonjack]

they do this.

But not quite how you're thinking.

Web analytics? I'd be surprised if there wasn't far more to learn from this forum by analysing thread hits, word hits, even the seemingly innocent Up/Down Vote function....

What once was a chat round the farmhouse table starts to morph into Michael poring over a bank of screens....

I seem to remember to going to other festivals in the past, and days after if has finished they have e-mailed me asking me to vote on who I would like the headliners to be the following year. Imagine if Glastonbury did that.

[carlosj]

the worst thing about it would be that it would be very unimaginative on an ongoing basis.

After all, russy would insist on nick cave headlining every year, and the nal would insist on tom waits every year too.

nick, tom and matt42? Ok, I'll go for that.

BST did that to me this year (after I'd got their crazy £2.50 tickets). The headliner threads on here meant I'd thought about the issue quite a lot! So if the BST lineup next year includes AC/DC, the Stone Roses and Prince, you can thank me... (or not if they're all exclusives!)

[jeffie]

dammit, the secret is out.

It's ok, we'll forget it when he wants us to.

Forget what?

Eh?

[Wooderson]

Dammit i was hoping to watch the cricket tonight - that's me doing 'So Many Roads' too now.

(I think Mardy meant the book though)

Sonic Youth's Lee Ronaldo on Fare Thee Well. Lovely stuff.

Thate's beautifully written. Superb piece.

[Franky]

Well, just in case we do, then please lIsten Emily. I have just three little letters for you.

This is all

Aha soz lads. Great book aswell tho. Only 1/3 of the way through.

 

 

Steamed all the way through the book this weekend. Just what I needed at this moment of my growing infatuation of all things Dead. An overarching chronology that gives me the essential parts of the narrative and fills in the gaps as to what happened when. I reckon it's a bit lacking in analysis as to why some of the things happened, but yeah, I feel much more confident about them and putting stuff in order after reading it.

 

And I picked up a second hand copy of Wake of the Flood this morning.

That sort of achievement would be on a par with Kim Jong-Il's golf scores.

Actually just realised eFestivals is hugely influential - Prince said he won't play if he's rumoured - eFestivals has diligently rumoured him and he hasn't played, sorted!

Quite. Please can you put some kind of filter on the P word, both on the rumours page and on the forum, to prevent this happening again?

[Alan_C]

Keep it up. Maybe a full story on him headlining next year on the main page closer to the time?

[eFestivals]

we've done the opposite, and made the rumours page include a Prince rumour automatically from now on.

Damn you! I wonder if it's possible to place a bet on him definitely not playing next year.

[Amy Lawn]

I got decent odds on Hendrix not playing next year.

[parsonjack]

He's still more likely to play than Prince though....

[stuartbert two hats]

What about Rolf Harris?

[parsonjack]

What about Rolf Harris?

5-3 for good behaviour

Sad news for Nick Cave- that might interest Efest lot, his 15yr old son has died in the last 48hours after falling off a cliff in Sussex. I don't think we will see him around for a couple of years now

[frostypaw]

shit that's terrible news. shocking unnecessary way to go.

Great record. "Stella" one of their best.
