Mmm.... two-day baked mud.

Was amused to hear the 50-cent story...d'you remember when Daphne & Celeste were on the main stage in 2000? I vividly remember one guy next to me taking a piss in a bottle and lobbing it at them. Wouldn't normally condone that, but under the circumstances it seemed more than justified...

Oh yes, I was there for 2000. Apparently, Daphne and Celeste were lated quoted as saying that they were glad they were bottled off as they only had three songs to play anyway.

50-Cent was pretty badly pelted, though. Someone actually threw a lawn chair at him. Quite how they managed to hurl it that far in a sea of Greek Day fans is a mystery.

"The Rasmus being bottled off"
There is still sense in the world i am pleased!

Sounded like a lot of fun, and i will be keeping an eye open for that banner during late nights watching festival coverage on itv :)

Also i really like your dog kill icon, what's is it from?

[deathcookie]

It's grabbed from an online comic called Cat and Girl. The dog is not a character, but I thought it was an appropriate rage-worthy icon. ;)

Poor The Rasmus. I've seen far worse acts at Reading who weren't bottled, and had they not been headlining the main stage before the Dropkick Murphys, they might have fared a little better. Still, it was amusing as heck.

rather attractive bassist of Sons and Daughters in her white, see-through dress with a light shining right behind it. Mmm.

I looked at pictures. She's ugly, and probably smells like feet.

Me and wicker_girl thought Ailidh Lennon was lovely. The singer, on the other hand, look like a fat Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Maybe we were more drunk than we thought, and developed a strange attraction to anyone with a mandolin.

Also, after three days at the Carling Weekend, everyone smells like feet. Unless they smell like cheap lager.

That particular brand of violent Libertine fan annoys me as well (and the crowdsurfing variety are even worse - one of them managed to rip my wristband off! Good thing it was near the end of Sunday...). I have to say (and perhaps I'm juts cruel), but the sight of young teenagers fleeing in terror from the moshpit during the opening songs makes me laugh every time...

The Leeds crowd were better though, chants of "Carl! Carl!" "We love you Carl!" and even "Gary! Yeah!" (Robert, where were you on Sunday afternoon?) were more frequent than chants of adoration for Pete.

Watching young teenagers flee in terror from the moshpit always makes me laugh. There was one in a Rasmus hoodie who was about three feet tall and looked close to tears! I'm amazed how wicker_girl and her Moorrissey banner were able to stay at the front through their set, to be honest. I found it really hard to escape the from the front few rows after Franz Ferdinand as The Libs' fans pushed forward, and it wasn't a great place for someone my size to be.

Who'd you enjoy at Leeds?

I've always found The Libertines squeege a fun place to be. I've only gone right up to the front twice with The Libertines, but both times the crowd seemed to be working together to stop people from falling over/getting injured.

My favourite small-people-fleeing incident was at T this year when all The Strokes fans mistakenly thought they'd be able to sit through the Pixies set. I think the Kings Of Leon must have given them false I-can-stand-at-the-front-and-not-get-too-battered confidence. When the Pixies came onstage, there was this surge of obese tattooed forty-year olds going one way and skinny blazer-wearing 'arty' kids stumbling brokenly in the opposite direction. Absolutely classic!
