nzremo1 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 arrived to state of mind in boiler room which was good, went to turnaround @ lilly world straight after that which was also good. got on the piss in lilly world for most of the afternoon dancing to the artists they had there which were pretty sweet, then made way to boiler room for z-trip which was interesting, good for a while then got a bit chaotic so went back to lilly world and kept drinking until kolab at local produce which was ill as. bummed around after kolab and caught some other local "hiphop" which was not so great. went to green stage to catch dropkick murphys which was off the hook, got amongst a mosh pit for a bit there until i was exhausted as hell and realised i wasn't built for that sorta shit anymore. chilled out for a bit and caught prodigy from outside the boiler room (needed space and fuckin' hell was it hot in there). could see a screen with what was happening inside, went off. then rocked home and crashed out. all in all another bloody good day @ the bdo. ended up going the entire day without even entering the main stage area, flagged pendulum and neil young. also flagged lupe fiasco which i ain't regretting apparently he was running around all hyped on the stage acting like the celebrity he supposedly is singing his rubbish, stoked i chilled at lilly world skanking to some international dub/tribal influenced stuff instead.

mike Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 pretty lame zane lowe got snapped doing exactly the same set as the night before when he opened for arctic monkeys FAIL! Ban him from ever playing a DJ gig again for that offence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobotomy Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I can recall Goldie doing the same thing at BDO and then Ministry not the whole set but the beginning was the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I can recall Goldie doing the same thing at BDO and then Ministry not the whole set but the beginning was the same I don't mind a DJ reusing an intro or one or two combos etc - but an entire set? That's just lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignition Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Yeah BDO was sweet. My picks of the day: 1. Fantômas 2. Prodigy 3. Tiki 4. The Living End 5. Dropkick Murphys Didn't get there early enough to see Subtract though which would have been sweet. Low Points: 1. The train ride there - way too many drunk youths, my word how rude. 2. Missing the Trons - and they played two sets :/ 3. How crazy people went when Pendulum bust that horrible synth. 4. Beer running out. All in all another wicked BDO though.

mike Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) 3. How crazy people went when Pendulum bust that horrible synth. People were saying it was the highlight of the day. Even bFM mentioned that Pendulum had one of the biggest crowds. Party time rock-n-bass in the sun works I guess. Heard some random in Real Groovy asking someone if they had any of their CD's on Saturday, I predict many sales of Pendulum merch after that performance... [edit] Further to that a quote from Russell Brown's blog... Graham Reid wasn't quite so impressed: "they're like gymnasium music" he said. Well, that would be a pretty weird gym. But yes, it's fair to say it's utilitarian music. In conjunction with powerful audio-visual technology, it makes the people dance and have a crazy time. And that's okay. Sums it up nicely Edited January 18, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grind Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well "In Silico" shot up to #2 the day after BDO on the local iTunes chart, so I've heard. Havoc said on bFM that they "owned" the Big Day Out by a long way. Check the Youtube footage, pretty huge. Even though its not my thing, its gotta be good for dnb as a whole.

mike Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 2009 is looking like a good year already. Reckon at least some of those kids at fu on Saturday must have been new to dnb from listening to Pendulum on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums it up nicely Agreed, the Pendulum crowd was MASSIVE. I'll get Ed Head to post up a photo he took from the stands - definitely the biggest crowd I saw all day. And most people I talked to recalled Pendulum as their highlight of the day. Definitely gonna push their sales through the roof, but it still doesn't mean they're good.

Grind Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Yeah, and to be honest, Graham Reid definitely knows whats up in the music world.. much moreso than Russel Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugsy Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 must say im pretty impressed .... could see it happening though when they started the band thing. just a pity that they made it so generic .... the rock elements are typical rock, and the drum and bass elements are very basic too. such a pity.
