pukkelpop - 16.180807
great: editors, new work sounds live even better than on cd, less screaming guitars and a more powerful sound, racing rats, smokers are waaw ... a bit tired of the comparison with interpol ... both bands are super (great voices), and different enough (rythm, song structure and darkness) / cocorosie ... what kind of music this is is difficult to explain, now it sounded really good ... the human beatbox, i still feel the base, two different voices making a fine combination, and back for a biss, after long applause and hesitation / sonic youth ... what a noise and how that can sound great ... guitars going everywhere (where's more feedback), even sword fighting (see http://www.proximusgoformusic.be/nl/report.php?id=196851) / krakow, (really) slowrock, but you get sucked in and enjoy it fast enough ... and their cd 'as the heart is' is beautiful ...
nice parties: nid and sancy, digitalism, groove armada (i see you baby) and justice, 2x9 marshall amplifiers on each side of the cross, we felt it ... we are your friends !! and we are completely wet as well ... great party
good, but: arcade fire, should be a separate category, but the sound mix nearly the whole gig was awfull ( with all these people on stage you also want to hear what they do), and the singer's voice never reached far enough ... so i was disappointed in the sun ... looked forward to this moment all summer (actually since i missed them here 2 years ago), and then this ... luckily the last 2 numbers were ok, with rebellion the song to forget the rest of the gig and listen to the bells, and the lies ... and luckily in november they come back, so no too hard feelings :) / tool, i already saw them twice blowing me away, but now they only blowed ... too long versions of their songs, seemed like they wanted to play us to sleep ... ok, it's pukkelpop, it's great to have this band on top of the bill, but you also want to go home with a feeling of yeah, now we've had it all ... now we left still hungry (luckily there were tuck cookies and ravioli) ... so this time they too, dissapointed, next time, i will not leave a sonic youth gig to see them playing / gogol bordello, but marquee fits them better / rodrigo y gabriela, 2 acoustic guitarists, sounded really good, but b decided to arrive then (bad timing!) / battles, i would have liked it but i decided too early to leave apparently / the view, but it all sounds a bit the same (ask me to repeat a song and i can't) / cansei de ser sexy, could also be listed with the nice parties, but i expected alala to sound better / sophia, the sea was (again) great, as well as the beep in easy, but too acoustic at times / mintzkov, but i saw them enough for a while now / patrick watson in the chateau, but maybe the wine was better than the music / the streets, no guitars for once, and good songs (dry your eyes is a classic), but the trick to go low and jump should not be repeated too often, but pleasure on stage (including frisbee), and that's what counts / hanne hukkelberg, but maybe a bit too tired to enjoy properly, i liked the bike on stage though / mud flow, popular in walloon, sounded really good, but almost no one in the wablief then (last gig friday night)
furthermore: tonight tonight, the only pumpkin song i heard, from my tent on the camping ... drieman & felixen ... freezing fridaynight ... n left alone on the camping in his small tent (quote, sunday at 11:30, 'haha ik word hier net volledig alleen wakker haha iedereen is weg! haha en ik herinner mij niets!')
