Makes me think maybe I should see him live again. Haven’t seen Nick Cave live since 1990, but everything you say about him here was certainly true then as well.

I don't know how many of us there are, but i think we should make our voices heard. Hello. just another U.K. Dotter sticking his (rather grey) head out.

As for Nick Cave he is god on stage. I don't consider myself to be a huge fan of his music, touch base with him now and then but live – he – is – incredible! I totally got your review, I think I feel that way every time I see him. BBC4 had him and the Bad Seeds play a live set about a month ago. Well worth watching! http://www.bbc.co.uk/musictv/nickcave/ I’ve been recommended dEUS before. have to check them out now!

Pocket Revolution came out after the band took a lengthy hIATUS from recording and touring. Their newest album, Vantage Point, is very similar to Pocket Revolution. The dEUS records from the 1990's are more noisy and varied, but there is a best-of called No More Loud Music that includes their essential singles, like Hotellounge and Instant Street. dEUS also has a channel on YouTube! http://www.youtube.com/user/dEUSbe dEUS is one of my all-time favorite bands.

I also feel I should atone for all those years of not liking dEUS by spreading the word now. Phoney – wow – I can’t believe you were there! I’d have totally tried to meet up if I’d known (and you’d wanted to.) There are so few of us Dotters this side of the pond I’m always rather envious of those who get to meet up face-to-face. Wanted to see Beep Seals, but Friday had been rather full on, so we neglected them in favour of sitting down and drinking tea. I’m going to try and see them in London at some point though – nice to have another positive recommendation. I did not see the horse head men, but I reckon they were real. I ran into a load of people I knew who were all dressed as Altern-8, masks, boiler suits and all. Sara – really happy you found something you like.

Completely agree about Sigur Ros: fabulous! Seasick Steve went down well with the crowd, but not really my thing. Elbow were impressive too. On the Uncut stage I was well impressed by young trio Golden Silvers, and I should mention the Beep Seals (featuring one of the guys out of Alfie) who were on the BBC Radio 1 sponsored Lake Stage - they sounded very good too! Did you see those guys walking around late on with the morning suits and horses heads on? I thought that maybe I'd had too much Aspall's cider and 'bespoke' cigarettes by that point.

Definitely my kind of music. Also, I want your job. I want to go to music festivals for a living. Sigh.
