My thoughts are:
- Wild Beasts were AMAZING. As my other half said, they have come an incredible way since we saw them at Joe's Pub in New York in 2009.
- Jens Lekman is much better live than on record. He is also very funny and has a good song about stalking Kirsten Dunst through the nightclubs of Gothenberg.
- Fucked Up were incredibly energetic and entertaining. With Aphex Twin they go on my 'I always thought I should like this but maybe now's the time to start' list.
- I still really dislike Bon Iver (not great for me as he curated the second day).
- As a festival it felt a bit like a dress rehearsal for what will probably be a huge and well publicised event next year. The venue was great; with good sound and a cheap hotel just over the canal, but due to some INSANITY the bars did not serve any spirits at all. I mean, c'mon. Also, the only food inside was hot dogs. Oh the irony of being in the food capital of Europe with access to only hotdogs for ten hours.
