Damn Kiwi's getting Fat Freddy's Drop. Lucky bastards.

Although we get Cut Copy and Magic Dirt (so we in).

There was a rumor a while ago the Beck would be doing the Big Day Out. Not sure how much truth there is in that but we'll wait for the second round of announcements.

IGGY AND THE MOTHERFUCKING STOOGES.

man.  i have only just started to get into the Stooges.  i hope they rock and aren't faded has-beens.  Iggy is like, forty bazillion years old by now, but i am pretty sure that his heroin/cocaine-fuelled body will still kick out the jamz.

i would pretty much only be going to see the Stooges, Cut Copy & Soulwax, though.  the Mars Volta i might drop in on, as well as Magic Dirt & End of Fashion.

i hope that more DJs get added.

Apparently the reformed Stooges still kick all kinds of ass.

That's what I heard anyways.

Did anyone else here that story about Iggy a few years (like, three or four) where he tried to crowd surf but no one caught him from the stage?

Apparently, he fell to the ground and broke a rib or something.

Food for thought.

Yes, and that thought is: If Iggy wants to crowd-surf, you fucking well catch him!

Yes, but you're using the term "gay" as a short-hand way of saying they suck - which be extension implies that being homosexual sucks.







Or being happy, depending on which definition of the term "gay" we're using.

Why thankyou, I did it myself.  Of course the joke will be lost on 90% of the people on this forum, but I like to think the Australians among us appreciate it.

*looks at lineup*

yawn (actual, physical yawn. i've been up since 6).

except maybe for iggy pop, hopefuly he's not a complete crackfeind yet.

but then i guess no-one really goes to festivals for the bands...

I think you missed Iggy's "crack fiend" phase entirely. By a decade or more.
