any news on hfstival this year?

[markie]

Kurosawa<P>Good choice. I cant stand radio 1 during the day though, too many beeps and boings for my liking, so Virgin is my default

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Kurosawa, I click on your link and I see pics of System of a Down, Hooverstank, Jimmy Eats the World, the Strokes...the same crap that's on HFS. How is this station any different? It's still dumb corporate rock, right?

[markie]

er Rhett, this is why<P>Evening Session 16 - 18 Apr 20:00 (GMT)<BR>In Session: Idlewild & A<P>Sure all rock is corporate, but this is British corporate....

[ggw]

That new Idlewild song sounds rather Smiths-y wouldn't you say?

[markie]

I have not heard it yet! Virgin is too busy playing the new badly drawn boy single to notice.<P>Well if its smithsy it cant be all bad.....<BR>

now my station is playing Badly Drawn Boy "A peak you Reach"

[poorlulu]

fecking hell ggw<P>i thought it was the smiths.....i liked it a lot though

[markie]

A bit Smiths like but not too bad. Still have guitars that sound a bit like bagpipes.... Big Country styleeee.<P>I like that though. We will have to see if it grows on me as much as Roseability.

[ggw]

I liked it as well.<P>Allegedly they'll be in the States this summer.

[poorlulu]

god i hope so.....<P>and it's my turn to buy you a drink at the next show ggw.........what is your next show?  i cant remember if you said you were going to spiritualised.

[ggw]

I'll be at Spiritualized - although I am more looking forward to BRMC.

[Jaguar]

Don't know if this is good or bad. My 8 year old nephew wants me to bring him with me Saturday to see BRMC. Don't worry, I won't be bringing him. If I were coming just for the show, I'd consider it. <P>As far as internet radio, I listen to some of the below and <A HREF="http://www.3wk.com" TARGET=_blank>www.3wk.com[/url]  mostly. Sometimes <A HREF="http://www.nmeradio.com" TARGET=_blank>www.nmeradio.com[/url]  but they get crappy a lot. There are loads of other stations out there too but I have to play around to find them. Oh, and <A HREF="http://www.wfmu.com." TARGET=_blank>www.wfmu.com.[/url]

[Joymonster]

... <A HREF="http://www.xfm.co.uk" TARGET=_blank>http://www.xfm.co.uk[/url]  is a pretty decent "underground" station.
