They are palying b-sides cos they ain't got enough material to headline otherwise. but the b-side quality is high so it doesn't matter as you suggest. What a gig! The last nite of the tour. This band should become massive. Acrylic was the first widely available single (cavorting was a ltd release) so of course it was widely received.

Get Cape is a great example of this as not only do his songs contain the opinions and passion that seems to be lacking in other musicians songs, he puts the work in outside of the recording studio; making numerous appearances at protests and fund/awareness raisers. Music is one of the only free mediums left with which you can completely express yourself and make your opinions heard; at least I don't think it's covered by the terrorism act just yet. Is it a case of artists purely not percevering anymore, or is it just that the world has moved on? For all we know a small army of Bob Dylan's are out there plugging away and have yet to be discovered. Mark.

]]> Comment on Latitude Festival by Raevennan http://thelastgunslingers.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/latitude-festival/#comment-4 Raevennan Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:21:28 +0000 http://thelastgunslingers.wordpress.com/?p=4#comment-4 Certainly, Latitude is one of the most intelligent festivals this country has seen for a long while, however it is steadily becoming more and more commercial. What happened to their Folk style roots? Sure, it's more than just a music festival, but do they think that by cramming the poetry, literary and comedy arenas with well known names they can begin to slack at their choice of music stage performers? Sure, Sigur Rós will go down a treat at Latitude this year but Franz Ferdinand? Really? I'm beginning to think that Mean Fiddler are now just seeing Latitude as a cash cow and that never makes for a happy ending. Before long it will get as overcrowded as Reading, Leeds and Glastonbury and this is a real shame as it had so much potential in 2006.
