Not exactly, though it was nice how they introduced it. Someone was shouting out for some song or either, and John goes, 'that's a good one, man. Anyway, here's one you guys will know'. As if they were going to play another of their own. But no! 'Twas Sham 69!

Ahhhh new I recognized it. Tbh I couldn't understand a word of any of the songs I hadn't heard before, and I only have Total Recall so I guess I missed out. I must get the other LP post haste!

I thought that too. I blame the yeah yeah yeahs. Partly for being utter crap and partly for ruining atp. Fuck the yeah yeah yeahs.

What??? How do you come up with that then? Did you do a survey or something? Tick the boxes corresponding to which bands you saw then hand it in at the barrier as you leave? I think that's utter rubbish, an assumption at best.

People don't have to go and see every single act playing or 90%+ to make them genuine "music fans". If people only saw a handful of bands and had a great time enjoying all aspects of the weekend, then what's wrong with that? If only 3 out of 5 people were there to get fucked I think it would have been a lot easier to get into the deerhoof, sonic youth and dinosaur shows.

I think it was the fact that (aside from the "big name" acts) 3/5s of the audience were chatting/shouting/rolling around on the floor/starting fights/anything but watching the bands during the majority of the sets.
