Same as it ever was – T in the Park 2012 line-up announced

Posted on February 23, 2012 by extremelisteningmode

If, in the build-up to the official announcement, you had asked me to name the line-up for T in the Park 2012, I’d have looked at the one headliner already announced – The Stone Roses – and then added two more. ‘Fucking Kasabian‘, I would have said, before adding drily ‘oh, and Snow Patrol, obviously.’ [...]

I am the ongoing resurrection – Stone Roses announce more dates

Posted on November 9, 2011 by extremelisteningmode

Whilst it was inevitable that the Stone Roses comeback shows at Heaton Park were highly unlikely to be all she wrote, from a marketing point of view it made perfect sense not to go on about it too much. After all, would there have been such a fantastic scramble for tickets – a staggering 225,000 [...]

Friday From the Vault – Teenage Fanclub

Posted on August 6, 2010 by extremelisteningmode

We love Teenage Fanclub. How couldn’t you? They are shiny, wonderful and make consistently wonderful music. We’ll have an exclusive chat with Norman over the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for that. In the meantime, here’s the band performing the astounding ‘Sparky’s Dream’ at T in the Park 1996.

T in The Park, Pish On the Telly

Posted on July 15, 2008 by extremelisteningmode

Ah, festivals. There’s nothing like being there to soak up the atmosphere. And frankly, the TV coverage provided on them recently has been ABSOLUTELY nothing like being there. ITV’s coverage of The Isle of Wight Festival was as toe-curlingly awful as you would have expected from a corporation seemingly determined to be seen as the [...]

The Sunshine Underground

Posted on May 28, 2008 by West End Wookie

At T in the Park last year, the Sunday headliners on the two main stages were Kasabian and Snow Patrol. Up to this point I’d had a pretty good festival, and didn’t want to spoil it be seeing either of those two overrated acts. Too lazy* to go elsewhere we stayed and watched The Sunshine [...]

Connect Festival Line-up Announced

Posted on April 4, 2008 by extremelisteningmode

I don’t like festivals. You probably could have predicted that, I know. You stand in a field and get covered in mud. I don’t like mud. It’s not solid ground, it’s not a proper puddle, its just this gooey mess. In fact, if mud was a singer, it would be James Blunt. That’s how much [...]
