BEST MUSIC FEST EVER!

Well dear friends, perhaps you sometimes wonder what i do with my time as an unemployed waste of.....i mean...as an... in-demand .. talented ..freelance writer...

ahem

well. the answer to your inquiry is:

PLAN MUSIC FESTIVALS WITH THE ONE AND ONLY JOHN "I'M A GENIUS" DALY!

We decided we were fed up with these great music festivals spreading out all the artists we liked over the three days. We said, why not a "festival for the rest of us all"? damn. that works much better with "festivus for the rest of us". just go with it...

So that is what we did! tired of looking at lineups, sighing, and saying i wish this band and this band were playing on saturday with this band? tired of having to buy a ticket to see two bands, only to be forced to watch ten that you don't like? tired of me starting sentences with the word 'tired'?

well have i got a solution for you!

mr. daly and i have come up with what may be the greatest collection of musicians ever to join together. sure we'll have to sell no meat because morrissey will be there. yeah, we're going to have to get david bowie out of his semi- retirement. and of course we are going to have to pay coldplay whatever absurd amount they charge. but those things don't matter!

Because at this festival (still unnamed) , you can not only see bands you like; you can see bands John Daly and I like! HOW GREAT IS THAT? So if you want to be part of the greatest musical event of our time, just check out this line up, and line up your checks. because we need that cash, kids. music dont happen without money. mo' money mo' music, someone once said. and that someone was me.

Seriously though. we are going to do this. suggestions welcome. please address any letters to either myself or john daly. probably mr daly. he knows things. i just deal with the press and the adverts.

are you ready?
