[kingcrimson024]

Come on Minton whats the deal????

[faz]

Awesome. I may have it pay a visit.

Minton,
When are we going to hear actual details about the new album, and a US tour?
Yeah, fuck the rest of the world. Everyone only cares about the US.

And do you think he has details about the new album, that he's aloud to tell, and is just holding out on us or something?

I bet you wish you were like me and didn't manage to get T tickets the last 2 times they went on sale despite staying awake all night to get them.

I'm seriously contemplating this although looking at the line up I'm only interested in the Friday.

Word man.

LCD Soundsystem and the Beastie Boys in the same place, I would probably die! Albeit more due to the alcohol and resulting dehydration than seeing two of my favouritististist acts ever.

Was about to fucking die of depression when i saw that. Then as i read i saw David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Joy Division and New Order, and The Beta Band. At Connect? Doubtful!

But yeah, im already gutted at missing the beasties and another chance to see lcd.

Yeah, it does say "Pls note this is NOT the line-up, but if you are a fan of these artists, then rest assured, the line-up at Connect is going to reflect your music tastes." :) although it still is a messed up thing to put on the site.

Hah, aye, anybody afraid they might miss out could glance at it quickly and just assume.

I get paid a week tomorrow. If there's still tickets about (or if i maybe rob another bank in the west end of glasgow sometime soon) i'll be all over it yo!

[b-grrrlie]

So who IS planning to go there?
For me the line up so far is just amazing! All the main acts (BBoys, PScream, Björk) and Jesus and Mary Chain and the Only Ones are like a must for me!!! Then add these lovely indie acts, wonderful scenery, all the best whisky distilleries just around the corner... Well around the islands anyway. And I've always wanted to visit Mull of Kintyre.... AND the gardening season is just about over by then.... Sounds like my holiday of a lifetime... :cool:

I know, there's only one act there i don't want to see. i was asking my mates about it and they're kinda of skeptical at there being so few bands. but the idea of fucking about a campsite with musical interludes seems pretty cool.

if they're still on sale next wed i'm defenitley going all the same :D :D

p.s. if you go make sure and catch lcd soundsystem

[faz]

Well, I was thinking of going. How ever, a friend was talking about sonar were it just so happens the beastie's are doing 2 shows. One instrumental and one normal. So I'mma have to investigate more. I can see both events selling out an me being stuck with nothing before I decide.

Well it does say Acts announced so far...

[Teh]

Aye, but tickets went on sale today and i don't think many people were up for buying them just yet.

I would though. :D

[discopants]

Och aye the noo, ye ken.
Etc.
Mike D in a kilt- the pimping jock.

[na§tee]

b-grrrlie, you should totally come! i'd look after you (y)

i think i will buy tickets. but maybe, uh, by myself.
can't figure out whether to buy a day or weekend ticket though. depends if i can persuade auld sags to come with me.

[EricIsBananaman]

I really want to go to this!
I wasn't able to see them in 2005 in Glasgow, and well, there's the same reason the now that I never got to go ...no-one I know will come with me :(

Och well...

There's always next time.

And what is the reason you can't make it? You don't dare to go alone????
I've travelled the world alone, it's where you go you meet the awesome people!!!

[Big Gus]

i have a ticket for this. I'm probably only gonna stay Friday though.

[beastiegirl]

So who's going to connect then?

I'm going for the weekend with my boyfriend. Would be good to have a meet up or something before beasties.

I'm a bit worried about the midgies. I normally get bitten to death my mosquitoes so gonna have to be covered in industrial strength repellant!
