| | you really should think about adding Toots & The Maytalls to that sunday list. Great tunes, and i've never seen him live, but the recordings are amazing. Reggae gigs are always good too, bit of leg shaking n what not! | | | |

| | The Electric Picnic message board said they will definitely release "unofficial" stage timetables during the coming week. Apparently the promoters are contracted not to release the official timetables until the day of the gig.
Better not try and charge us for them when down there! | | | |

This is why having a car rocks 
Last year at Electric Picnic, the car parking was brill, took ages to get in but once in, car parking was run like a military operation with people directing you to your space and you didn't have too far to walk either from the car. Just a suggestion, why not see if some fellow Cluasers in the Dublin area with their own wheels are going would be willing to carpool and offer them cash for petrol or at least buy them a pint (not before they have to drive of course!). C'mon folks, surely someone can sort Gar out? You get the company of one Cluas writer and he might even say nice things about you if he writes an Electric Picnic review. 
Won't be going myself this year sadly, in the middle of moving and changing jobs - one that doesn't require doing night shifts like now, which goes some way explaining why I'm on Cluas at 3 in the morning. | | | |

I shall be staying the f**k away from the comedy tent. ugh.
'Doves - never seen, even if they are past their best'
What the f**k are you on about? Their first 2 albums are masterpieces but 'Some Cities' surpasses even them. It's an extraordinary album. And they're going to be one of the best live acts of the weekend too...
Really annoying that they haven't released stage times as well and who's playing on which stage etc. Hope doves and kraftwerk don't clash! I may pass out with excitement when kraftwerk come on. Legends!!!! | | | |
