supersonic 2008: or how i learned to love festivals again

well this is quite the line-up.  quite the choice selection of cured meats and smoked cheeses indeed.  all the noise, danish wind instruments, distortion, electronickery, kosmische musik and occasional folkiness you can shake a big bloody black-clad stick at.  following all tomorrows parties slow descent into some incestuous groundhog day love-in (the portishead one excepted) and the apparent cancellation of indian summer i’ve plumped for a trip to birmingham this year.  haven’t been before but goddam am i looking forward to it.  the sensual lure of cakes and oxbows tom waits on crack madness is too much.  too much dammit.  i’m off for a lie down, here’s some tracks (unlucky thirteen) i like.  decide.  if you.  need.  this.  quote me when buying your ticket.  i get commission; cakes and crack.  mmmmm…..
