ok so who's going to this next month? anyone received their tickets yet? mine still haven't came :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just spoke to Portishead nd they said they intervened on stopping you getting a ticket because they both frightened about you being there on account of you being, in Beth's words, "some sort of fucking freak" |
||||||||
|

|

wow is that the only response i get? i could have sworn there were others here going... I would have though more would be seeing Aphex Twin, or have all the Twin fans left the board now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd go if i wasn't actually way, way far away. i'm really wondering is portishead has any spunk left in them. oh and aphex sets are always cool. |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it is sold out, what are the aphex twin sets like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No worries, I am not there then. Just did a search to find out the dates. How was Tori? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't see tori this time around, wish i had though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

||||||||
|
|

richard is playing TWO different sets at atp which means as im going to see him in manchester on the friday = THREE different sets in 3 days: http://www.littlebig.org.uk/archives/000272.html |

Ok, so it turns out that I have one extra ticket for this. Aphex Twin headlining, along with Portishead, Julian Cope, Earth, and about a million other diverse and awesome bands. If you would like to see these bands and FURTHERMORE if you would like to make friends with three hip young students, then this is a pretty great festival opportunity for doing that! The festival takes place in Butlins, in a little town called Minehead, which is not a million miles away from Bristol. Information regarding trains, travel, etc can be found on the official website linked below, along with a full lineup of bands. I went to the Dirty Three ATP earlier this year (also at Butlins) and it was a lot of fun. Really, this festival is a pretty great experience. http://atpfestival.com/events/portishead/ You will be staying with three university students (that is, me and two friends). We're a pretty nice bunch. Contact me with any questions or concerns - I am pretty desperate to sell this ticket, hence I am selling it at face value (£130). Write me via: jmckernon ~at~ gmail.com Hope to hear from someone soon. |

Man I really wanted to goto this. I was planning on going but I had no idea where the fuck these places are. If I had people to go with it might have been easier. If I bought a plain ticket I think this would be like what 1400$ from canada? shyt |

i think im going i might take my new recorder thing + try to do a bootleg of AFX if i do but i'll have to find a strategic place to leave because i doubt ppl want to listen to me bouncing about :) |
||||||||

ARGGGGG 4 fucks sake last year some bands played twice cos not everyone could fit in the main hall at the same time. i wonder if its like that. i think i snuck in and saw Dinosaur Jr a second time though so no problem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah do a bootyleg steve mcqueen , what kit y got? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
woohoo this is my fifth atp and the reason that i went for the first one (dec 2004) was partially due to aphex twin playing.. its a great festival, very small, intimate with great performances. i hope both sets are different.. thing is, they'll probably clash with something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you're telling me he'll have to hit play two times in one weekend?! .MADNESS |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
steve, if you record it and it sounds decent, i will love you forever. i bet his second set is gonna be under 'the tuss'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ill have a go,twice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

did anyone from here go? Aphex Twin was crazy, first time seeing him live, the crowd went mental when he came on, i guess most are still recovering still... Portishead were amazing, there new stuff sounds really good and very different to their last two albums, check out the youtube video's... someone passed out behind me after the second track (a new track), and my mate passed out right next to me, during one of the new tracks... strange... Another band that was really good live was Boris, I had high expectaions for Sunn 0)) but there was too little variation and what was the singer supposed to be? A giant caterpillar? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can you say a few things on what aphex's set was like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean the setlist? I didn't recognise most of the songs... the first one i recognised was a Burilal track, i think it was off the self titled album as it had little vocals, he played some tuss, funny watching people try to dance to Death Fuck |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not setlist..was is the sort of thing he usually does... starts of easy and gets really mental towards the end? i guess it was.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
didnt know this had gone down! i want a recording of aphex/portishead/boris. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah set was exactly like you described... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was a little disappointing that it wasn't really a proper Aphex Twin performance where he played all his own music... it was more like just a DJ set, which i guess anyone could have done. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he usually doesn't play his own music..perhaps a couple of tracks. and i've been to a lots of parties but i haven't heard anyone do a dj set like rdj before.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i guess so, i mean you could tell it was an aphex twin set... has he ever done that though, play all his own music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe in his early years yeah but almost certanly not in the past 10. there was lots of his music in turin set from couple of years ago but it was a bit different thing since cunningham was involved with the visuals.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he did a great set on saturday.. he played a lot of songs i didnt recognize.. they may very well have been his songs, just unreleased.. the set was brilliantly built.. first he started slow, almost trip hop like, then he started injecting danceable idm, sorta techno (even detroity at times) and lots of acid.. slowly upping the tempo until a mad final 20-30 minutes of nasty drill n'bass i saw him 3 times now.. i think this set cuold have been as good as when i saw him at Glade festival 2005 Portishead were amazing, a legendary gig. i just disliked one of the new ones and the old ones were rendered beautifully, cowboys was probably the weekend's highlight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
He played some stunning rave tracks, one of the best dj sets i've ever seen on Sat. Didn't make it to Sunday tho, any reports? Too much smuggled Vodka for me ;-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he payed a burial track? Why am i not suprised.... if you don't like burial you're fucking thick! |
||||||||
|

sounds like an insanely overdriven noisia |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that wouldve been so awesome to feel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the clip of the discoey tv theme that goes into what sounds like phonatacid is pretty funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh no thats lisbon acid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude that would have been sweet |

i _think the burial trak was southern comfort,its on my partial recording,my friend knows cos u can hear him saying "this is burial" is recorded 1/2 of the sunday nite, then my recorder turned off cos doing the mp3 encoding must take more battery life or something he played Teddy Oggie off the fake tuss myspace on the saturday! ( i only caught 1/2 of that, fancied some Jah Shakah cos the Queue 4 aphex was FUCKING LONG and i was completely twunted ) ill u/l it, i tried to listen to it the day after when i got home but i got really depressed for some reasone! it brought it back completely ) i got some good recordings of all the ppl banigng on the smoking area tables too : ) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
>>but i got really depressed for some reasone! must clarify: i wanted to be back there! |

:( if the current state of the dollar wasn't in the shitter I'd probably would have considered going to this. but since i have to pay double for the ticket, hotel room + other expenses etc there is no consideration to be made. I can't afford it without selling vital organs, the only way I'm seeing this is through shitty youtube camera phone clips. on a sad side note, the only shows that are here locally for the next few months at least at the main arena here in town (there are small local clubs but they're littered with shitty metal bands that all sound the same or emo crap) Toby Keith Hannah Montana Highschool Musical: The Ice Tour Rascal Flatts Professional Bull Riders: Built Ford Tough Series! Matchbox Twenty Smucker's Stars on Ice and a bunch of college sports bullshit. NYC is 3 hours away, but there are hardly any line ups like this there. If there are, i find out about them weeks after the fact...If aphex ever played down there, i would be there in a heart beat. likelyhood of that occuring...very slim. |
||||||||

professional bull riders sounds thrilling enough as is but when you find out it's the BUILT FORD TOUGH series it's like man you're mentally retarded if you miss out on that blast of testosterone that is ford sponsored bull riding. i will pray to the creator above this series hits my city like a ton of sweaty balls cut off the bulls deemed too weak for a built ford tough rider. |
