I checked out The T In The Park's (Oxegen's Scottish sister festival) website and the omens don't look good for this year. These bands are all confirmed to play at T In The Park and as a result they're all likely to play at Oxegen too;
Audioslave (Sh*t)

										No matter what your opinion is on the so-called gonzo journalists (eg. Lester Bangs), one thing is for certain, they broadened the limitations of fictional/factual writing. So today brings about a sad blow to this form of journalism, to the writers themselves and the mass population who read their work.

										Just heard that Jenny Lindfors has been added to the Jove gig in the Olympia. This is just a personal view on my musical taste but am starting to become more then a little impressed at the line up. A mate has also said that its being watched with caution from various industry heads to see if it will work in order to perhaps have future 'unsigned acts' shows.
so who is tagging along can it work |  |  |  | 28 | 5841 | 2/18/2005 11:59 AM |

										Got a lend of Metalica's DVD diary of making this record. Truly essential viewing! I never would have believed that guys with some much money and and so little to worry about in the world could descend into such self-absorbed analysis and psychobabble. It is almost Spinal Tap in places. I even started to feel sorry for Lars Ulrich in places (despite being an anti file sharing mouthpiece). 
Seriously, go treat yourselves. |  |  |  | 4 | 1697 | 2/17/2005 11:21 AM |

I am disgusted at how the mod's have been attacked. Calling them 'facist swines' is completely out of order, if not redundantly childish that you feel the need to use a cliché to express your 'feelings'.

										Ever buy an album out of hype or a review that you read and then ignore it after one, maybe two listens Then whenever that album is brought into a conversation, you frown at its inability to entertain or grab you. While it gathers dust in the darkened corner of your colelction, you eventually give it another chance. For some odd reason, you become charitable and allow the cd one last chance. And without you expecting it, it hits you like a thunderbolt. The quality of the album hooks you and you... |  |  |  | 22 | 2427 | 2/15/2005 2:54 PM |
