Polaroids Of Androids

Bought a ticket... and looking forward to it... especially since I was stupidly drunk during their performance at Golden Plains and can't remember much of it except that it was awesome fun times.

MENTAL

Can't wait to see what kind of havoc these guys bring to Golden Plains...

THIS WEEKEND!!!!

Gum boots.. yeah!

I believe I have photos of gold body suits... they need to be seen to be believed.

I had a great day. I spent a lot of the day running between stages seeing a lot of bands. I saw Seekae, Hockey, Frightened Rabbits, Philly Jays, Mumford, The Xx, Black Lips, Echo, Dappled, Florence. Everyone I saw was awesome. The venue was great once you got there. I didn't bother with public transport cause it seemed all too much and got a taxi there and a lift home. Loved the old sandstone buildings. The food lines looked ridiculously long. Luckily I was thirsty and not hungry. Shortest bar queues ever seen at a festival. WINNER. Shame they ran out of cider so early in the day.

Me: Any cider left?
Bar dude: No. What's the attraction with cider anyway? It's just apple flavoured goon.
Me: Your point being?

some peeps over at M+N think he played Anxiety too... maybe I'm not going crazy

I'm sure they played Anxiety at Meredith... ummm... life is blurry

they played Anxiety the last couple of times I saw them live - Homebake and Meredith... absolutely killed it at both festivals... can't wait to hear the rest of the album

purchased!

I should of read this earlier

Yes me... Totally decided on the weekend... Have you bought a ticket?

Thanks Sleezy and Shanks... Love feedback... Will definitely try harder to find cool people and make friends with them and take photos of them... Actually maybe the next review should just be of cool people at festivals... Think about it... So many levels of awesome... yes?

Yeah I think there are more warehouse gigs these days... well at least more I hear about then say 5 years ago. Or maybe I am just cooler than I was 5 years ago.

Good review, sums up the album very well.

I can't stop listening to Lust for Life. What a great song. I'm definitely going to have this album on high rotation this summer.

Naughty by Nature!!!! Salt n Pepa!!!! Old skool represent!!!

Laneway Melbourne this year was an absolute mess... they had to do something to win those Melbourn-ites back... Not sure if the Dirty Three and a new venue will be enough, I guess time will tell.

Also a new venue for Sydney! I was wondering when the Marriot was going to kick us out! The SCA has beautiful buildings... no laneways but pretty buildings.

Overall I think the line up is pretty good... and refreshing to have a line up that is less commercialised.

Mumford & Sons... Vanilla Ice...

Vanilla Ice?! I'm so there!

Mumford and Sons let it slip today on triple j today that they will be playing at Laneway...

I've been to a few BDOs. Back in the day (ok maybe 10 years ago), for me, the festival was about bringing big name bands that had never been to Australia before. I would be excited about seeing these once in a lifetime bands. I'm struggling to get excited about the 2010 line up. It looks like a mashup of all the previous years line ups. How many of these bands have played the BDO before? A few I'm sure.

Maybe I'm just getting old.
