Free tix for V Festival

[Sperge]

Nah, I've been to Glade since and I'd still go back to V without any worries. We're so exposed to advertising in everyday life in the UK that it doesn't especially worry me having it at a festival as well.

Horses for courses. *shrug*

Obviously a lot of people do like V, they have no trouble selling tickets after all. If you're happier with that kind of festival than with what you see as the cynical niche marketing of Glasto etc, good for you.

radiohead are awesome, but not enough to warrant me spending a weekned surrounded by some unsavoury people

im just a fan of smaller, community based festie,s with no comrporate whoring and, after lookin at the line up, 90 percent of shit

but as i said, if the ticket wass free id take it.

Can I make a small confession here? I do actually have The Bends and OK Computer. And I did see them at Glasto 2003 too.

I think they're OK but just don't think they're that special, that's all. It's fine for people who are still going through that studenty phase of imagining that liking such music makes them appear intelligent (just as earlier generations did the same with prog rock) but I can take it or leave it basically.

Or perhaps it's just that some people have aged beyond their student days but still want to appear somewhat avant-garde in their middle-aged tastes, imagining they can do so by implying such music isn't worth as much as others think (just as students today do with the more mainstream stuff).

Or perhaps the real reasons behind people liking and disliking particular music are far deeper and more complex than anything we can sum up in a simple line.

[Sperge]

That's wide of the mark, even by your standards. I wouldn't dream of claiming my tastes are anywhere near "avant garde", nor would I pretend to like particular genres to impress others and I certainly don't need your permission to like things which you deem to be too young for me. :kiss:
