I guess Markie is. I think that band Yellowcard must be some sort of English footie band.
I signed up when I first got here, hfstival used to have things like smashing pumpkins and Beck, bigger American acts that I once liked……..

Either I am getting old or HFStival is getting incrementally worse….. I wonder have ticket sales and prices suffered, please say they have to massage my ego.
I'm in the same prediciment. Is it me, am I old, or do these lineups suck? I went to a number of HFStivals in the mid-90s and saw some great bands, both indie and 'mainstream alternative', but they haven't appealed to me in the last four or five years at all. It's kind of a shame. Thing is, I don't give a rat's ass about spending $40 anymore, but why waste my time on bands I don't like and fighting the teenage crowds?

Okay, here's where I show my age. I think this would be incredible, absolutely incredible. I realize that a bunch of the 80s bands aren't the highest caliber music, but this is all the shit I listened to when I was in high school. And to throw in one of my current faves like F.O.W. would be awesome.

I understand this is not a stellar lineup, but DAMN I would have fun!

the cure, the furs, interpol, and echo? some of my very favourite bands…I agree with you bags
I'm with you ladies. It may not be my all-time dream festival but I'm sure that I'd leave pleased, unlike that freaking HFStival torturous line-up. One good band - BRMC. That's it!

Thank you Seth for booking BRMC at the 9:30 Club!!!! After skipping this area on their recent "Initmate Tour", I'd have to seek them out and kill them otherwise.
eh, i like rancid and the deftones. but that's about it.
I would have to agree with you bags.

I mentioned in another thread, if Siouxsee were playing as well, hell and high water couldn't keep me from going. As it is, it's too soon, it's L.A., and I have a family reunion in stuffy connecticut.

Here here! you and I must be kindred spirits or something bags…I've been in agreement with just about every comment you make….I just don't express my thoughts quite as eloquently as you though…but you can't take the Manchester out of the boy so I make no excuses! ;)
duran duran was just announced as an addition. check out their website www.duranduran.com and look. and the plot thickens……..
Still waiting on siouxsee sioux.

Hey bags did you see her at Nation, i believe it was last year? I love her music but i was disappointed with the show, i only recognized two songs and i know a whole lot more than that. I guess she musta played all new stuff, if she has any.
I did see that show. I thought it was good, but I saw her more recently in NYC at Roseland Ballroom, and it was a fantastic show. They played a lot of old stuff – it was last fall sometime.

But I'm pretty easy, if they play "Christine," "Spellbound" and "Dazzle," maybe "The Killing Jar" as well, I leave the place floating on clouds and secure about all that is good in the world.

Did anyone ever hear the duet Siouxsee did with Morrissey? I bought it on vinyl when it came out but some twat nicked it before I had a chance to listen to it, and I've never seen or heard of it since.

Nor have I. Was it post Viva Hate as I stopped caring soon after that.


I did have a copy of Moz and Pete Burns at the royal Albert Hall though.
