Suede Online

Line up across the three days is starting to take shape:

More announcements tomorrow apparently. Bit of a shame that The Vaccines are apparently clashing with Paloma Faith...

Line-up doesn't do anything for me but then i'm an old bastard lol....

That's no excuse - if I remember rightly you're about the same age as me. I'm not familiar with a lot of the acts on the bill either so have used this as opportunity to get a little up to date, so in the last couple of weeks I've bought albums by The National, Foals, and the Vaccines. Fairly impressed with all 3 so far...

Guess I'll end up very familiar with Chapel Club by the time the Brixton gigs are done.

a little nap before the big thing

hmmm... In my experience most support bands seem to be fairly terrible to average but we'll see!!!!... I'm always open minded!!!!...

as I said, little nap!

I was talking more to Gareth but I agree sun!!!...

Well I think we've talked about Suede support acts before but a few have been good - Subcircus, Geneva and Black Box Recorder spring to mind. These day I think the standard of support acts in general has dropped a bit - lost of people going for the 'giving unsigned local acts an opportunity' angle - which conveniently also happens to be very cheap. British Sea Power supporting the Manics on their recent tour was a happy exception.

Hope there will be enough going on the Sunday at Latitiude to keep you entertained though Mark.

Decided if you're coming yet Sun?

Gareth.

prob not, as we are supposed to be moving sometime between 15 june and 15 july

I still remember v99 so fondly - Suede, Stereophonics, Happy Mondays, Cast, Cardigans... Well before last year i'd only ever seen Suede live a couple of times - I quite liked Charlotte Hatherley on the first Brett solo tour and The Departure were ok supporting The Tears (reminds me - i'm SURE I had a Tears t-shirt - but haven't seen it for ages - unless i'm imagining it lol)... General support is there just to warm things up - well something to look at/listen to while you're waiting - but i'm never very impressed - the festival stuff will probably be ok - i'm sure i'll wander round getting drunk or doing something until Suede come on!!!!... Whenever I go to a festival i'm always worried that i'm standing watching the wrong stage lol!!!...

Who's moving??? You sun??? Where are you moving to and why???!!!!....

oh, we are downsizing apparently... moving in the same area

What do you mean "we are downsizing apparently"... erm... do you not have a say in where u move or when or why???...

we have a very big house (not in the country , so we are moving somewhere smaller... still in the same area

ok, fair enough... good luck!!!...
