Jimmy the Squid:
Yeah I'm not going.
David_Dovey:
There is not one single band in that lineup that excites me much.
I love Karnivool but I could see them basically five times a year if I wanted to
Enter Shikari might be good fun live
I suppose I should see Spoon for the indie cred.
I've already got my tickets and I was stoked with the first announcement, but I'm wondering how I'm gonna fill the whole day (oh god if any of the bands I wanna see clash on the timetable I'm gonna pop some caps in some asses swear to God)

the occasional decent Splendour in the Grass/Falls Festival lineups aside, this is pretty much the best lineup any festival in Australia is ever going to get.
How depressing.

i don't know if i'm alone in this train of thought, but i was under the impression that australia is actually a pretty great place. we get heaps more great bands than lots of places i can think of, and alot of the international musos i've spoken to really enjoy the place! not to get too patriotic about it, but aus is actually cultivating some wicked music of its own. the cultural cringe strikes again.
i'm helping out with sound at 2008 bdo, and have been a punter a few times before...however many negative aspects of the festival there are, like bogans with watermelon helmets (man they stink in 42 degree weather), ladies with police uniforms and/or angel wings, metallica fuckwits grabbing the butt of a 15 year old (me), they do provide an all ages place for people to see world class bands where they otherwise may not have been able to. i saw john cooper clarke at last year's and he was great, i didn't even know he was booked to perform. and at the end of the day it'll set you back a little over $100. for some people that's so more than worth it!
Phaedra:
And passing out because you've stubbornly been waiting in the moshpit to see your favourite band play for the last three hours is pretty much a rite of passage for Australian teens.
