The 'good stuff' (actually almost all of it IS except Andy Bell) and I have learned two things:

- The Lex and I seem to be in hivemind mode this week (Goat Team aside)

- John Cameron is the least pop man in the Universe.

I can imagine that being AMAZING.

It was particularly good cos they were in the John Peel Tent and it had been a day of remorseless underachieving neo-garage and neo-Britpop wank, and suddenly LCD Soundsystem BROUGHT THE BEATS. And they opened with "Beat Connection"!!

I was in a somewhat delicate medical state by that time but our tent was well in earshot so I sat in my camping chair and punched the air.

They're best when you're completely dazed by a night a few days of rave rave rave, aren't they? Sprawling and drunken enough to reflect you're state of mind but banging enough to make you continue. One of my favourite LCD non-live moments was putting 'Daft Punk' on after Vitalic @ Fabric, when we should have gone to sleep or at least sat down, and it made us drink five more bottles of rosé and have a mini-rave in the living room.
