Headliners: Kings Of Leon and REM. Others confirmed include Ian Brown, Kaiser Chiefs & The Raconteurs. What do y'all think of this? Im probably gonna give this a miss. I would like to see REM and The Raconteurs though.

Rage would be full of 30-somethings, mostly married off & settled down, shouting to the chorus of "Fuck you I won't do what ya tell me" .... yeah, not till the next weekend anyway, when the missus makes them cut the grass out in the back garden & tells them to pick their underwear up off the bathroom floor & put it in the laundry basket where it belongs!!

EXCEPT aphex twin who (even after all my moaning about all festivals being the same) should really be at electric picnic.... and possibly hot chip should be there too as they provide some fun... something it's impossible to experience at oxegen...

Saw Rage last month in Auckland, and to be honest, was well disappointed. Awful sound, tempo to all the songs seemed really slow, and there really wasnt all that much rage involved. Expecting much better things from Pumpkins and QOTSA next month so fingers crossed. Broken Social scene tomorrow too. Cant wait!

I'd imagine the closest that most Rage Against the Machine fans get to raging against the machine these days is shouting at the photocopier when there's a paper jam!

IT calmly explains that it doesn't look after ordinary photocopiers and tries in vain to explain the difference between a printer/document management system and a photocopier, gives up, hangs up, goes back to listening to Modeselektor while Jeremy goes postal, considers using cattle prod on Jeremy

Has anyone mentioned the fact that Aphex Twin is playing Oxegen? That's pretty mad- can't imagine the young fellas who've just finished 6th year the May before and are gonna wear their Westmeath GAA jersey with the collar stuck up for three days will relish a bit of 'Windowlicker'. Maybe they'll just head back to the campsite wrecked out of their heads and steal from/run over peoples tents that few hours earlier...

If Interpol, Kaiser Chiefs or Ian Brown WEREN'T playing, thst would be a worthy news story in itself! I see Chemical Bros, Hot Chip are playing also. Yeah, It's really depressing to see the genius that is Aphex Twin on the line-up.How did they get him? Where the hell did he come out of? Poor old Richard D. James does not realise he will playing to a bunch of s**t-faced, sunburnt, straw-hat and GAA top wearin' slack-jacked, culturally clueless mulchies.

Last year was the worst yet, unless you're into the whole Glastonbury Dunkirk spirit "the weather's s**t but we'll still have a good time" schtick.

I presume yr taking the piss - if not, then you're one of the most fortunate people on the planet, having not yet been subjected to their depressingly bad music. You thought Coldplay were a poor imitation of U2 in 'stadium rock' mode? You thought Snow Patrol were a depressing version of Coldplay in 'U2 stadium rock mode'? Then think of an even more depressing version of Snowpatrol, with a pratt of a singer doing a poor imitation of Ian Curtis & you're almost there. Yeah, I know - it's a horrible thought. The execution of it is even worse than that.

There's two types of arseholes - those who are out and out cts & those who are out & out cts, but seem to think that they're such wkers, that it elevates them to the status of 'cool'. A laid back arsehole who winds up people for his own amusement falls into the 2nd category.

There's no need for that ste, whether you're trying to be offensive / ironic or whatever the f**k you think you were doing. And I've never had anyone complain about my posts, apart from UnaRocks who objected to me referring to Jenny Huston as being tubby. And vulgar?

"no honey, I can't go to bed, someone on the Internet is WRONG." Saw the first press ad for Oxegen today. It launched this afternoon. "if you get me talking about oxegen, you'll soon be wishing that starbelgrade and i start arguing off topic again..." - what's the point of negativity if it is not constructive?
