Sunday was fantastic, yes - the Arkestra were probably my favourites over the weekend, but I also loved Pharoah Sanders, The Ex (I was excited to see them for the first time, but then since I had distinct recollections of their trumpet player who dances like a six year old girl at a birthday party, I guess I must have seen them before...), Omar Souleyman (one of those ones were you're left wondering what the Butlins staff must be thinking about the proceedings), what I saw of Silver Apples - including that beat drop in 'Oscillations' that would've made Theo Parrish proud - and then Theo himself being a great way to wrap it up. Also Future Islands being ridiculously intense and powerful once I got over the sense of affectedness, No Age being the funnest I've seen them by far, Wild Flag... fuck I saw 23 live things and only three were less than great.
despite my misgivings about such a homogenous (bearded, jumper-wearing) crowd of corny indie fuxxors
me, btw. :'( i did get my jumper from primark, surely i lose some fuxxor points for that?

20 being 'great' is a big of an exaggeration tbh but who cares. also i thought that this year i had regained the youthful energy of my early twenties as i wasn't feeling the back pain i had by the end of the last few atps, except then when i got home i slept for 14 hours and still feel i haven't caught up properly. oops.
