It’s a tres funny picture they used on breakingnews.

The Irish are just a little bit wrong?

Or earlier than that, but Coldplay’s latest offering just reminded me of it:

Coldplay are saps.

Totally unrelated to my last post, might I just add.

Anyway most of my posse have already blogged, so I thought i’d just bask in their reflected glory.

Delightful Darren’s Excellent guidage btw.

Ravishing Rick’s

Lovely Liz’s

Awesome Andrew’s

(I haven’t included the non bloggers/anonymous here)

and let them re-count my experience, since I’m confused enough as it is. And they’ve already done a much better job than me.

I did see in no particular order, MGMT - saps climbing the scaffold stopped the show, but when they re-started, excellent. A spot of the Delorentos who were great, Amy Winehouse forgot her lyrics. I met Shane Hegarty, bring back present tense please?

Loose, Loose, Loose, I frickin love the Loose. The Ting Tings were rockin’, Camille O’Sullivan is the sexiest thing i’ve ever seen, the end of Vampire Weekend was great, Raconteurs were a bit lame, Roisin Murphy was brilliant. Interpol are so hot right now.

I’m missing some, so i’m sure i’ll remember later.

Excellent frilly knickers, I bought more yesterday Lady Anon, as Darren’s named you! Excellent dancing, some brandy, a spot of pitting it at Interpol, feeling very important.

Unfortunately I had to bring my own cutlery, and I know it’s not environmentally friendly but those wooden sporks get me every time.

More as it’s remembered.

The State, Una, Lili has pics, B’dum has his, and Jazz Biscuit has the mother of all linkage.

Note to self: don’t go carzy at the Picnic.

That this headline is out just a few days after Oxegen?

Something like this is coming to Dublin, except much bigger.

I for one can’t wait. Anthony Gormley, he gives good art.

Antony Gormley and the Dublin Docklands Development Authority announce his appointment to create a 48 metre figurative sculpture, using an open ‘bubble matrix’ structure in tar-coated steel, to be located rising out of the River Liffey, Dublin.

I saw it in the Indo, but look, the Dude is blogging… mmm white russians.

About right really,

More tears.

Not quite Vagina Dentata but possibly coming to a garden near you.

A carnivorous slug that kills worms with its blade-like teeth, sucking them in like spaghetti, has been found in Britain.

The ghost slug, which hunts at night, is a new species similar to ones found in Turkey and Georgia. It turned up in gardens in Cardiff and Caerphilly, possibly after arriving in plant pots. The slug has been named selenochlamys ysbryda by the National Museum, Cardiff – from the Welsh for ghost, ysbryd.

However, I did find this site, through Liz’s Blog. It’s deeply addictive. Reminds me of Sinead’s Book Inbox, and how useless I am when i’m out of the loop like this. The problem is I keep buying, instead of reading! Stop buying things like this:

and this:

Goodread allows you to keep a virtual book shelf, see reviews of stuff you’re going to read, what you’ve already read, what you liked, didn’t like, the usual.

I’d like to note: I’m still lying low from t’internet. It’s still evil.

The last festival I was at, I saw light coming out of the head of one of the many performers. I also got lost 8,000 times, and ended up drinking confiscated pink champagne with new friends. I have a bit of a habit, and it rules on nights out too, but less so lately, where I like to duck off and get a bit accidentally-on-purpose lost.

Oh what the feck, I can’t wait.

The Indo has a planner. Can I just say PFT. You can plan all you like. You will not end up doing any of this. Unless you are in fact a robot. You’ll be on your way to KOL when you’ll see a beautiful bar/hat/space to roll on the ground and that’ll be that.

Or you’ll get into a giant leg fight like these poor unfortunates:

Or you’ll realise that Roisin Muprhy is hanging out over there and youjusthavetogomeetherrightnow.

I do have some hopes: dEUS, The Loose (loose loose), GlasVegas, FLApes, Holy Fuck, Ida Maria, La Winehouse, Maybe the Ting Tings, Manic Street Preachers, Ben Folds, Rage, Vampire Weekend, White Denim, Justice, Panic at the Disco, Cat Power, Hot Chip, Seasick Steve, MGMT, ok list is becoming a model. I do heart lists though. Ah sure you know if I get around to it all well and good, who knows.

Darren and Liz are festival virgins… He He He.

Oh yeah, I did see Duke Special fall out of a hammock once.

And now you can get sandals with bottle openers built in. Needsies.
