Reading 2008 Round Up.
What with Carnival, Get Loaded, Work It and The Rinse FM Birthday Bash going on at some point over the Bank Holiday weekend I was seriously contemplating to sell off my Reading ticket in the preceding weeks of the festival.
However I convinced myself that it was most definitely not something that comes around every day. So in that mindset I decided I would draw for the tent and sleeping bag and make my way to Berkshire.
Upon arrival on Thursday afternoon I was shocked to find that so many people had already set up camp before me and I was forced to spend the next few days in White Camp.
For those who haven't been to Reading before this is traditionally known as the “family camp”. The half and hour walk to the festival each day was another major downer.
Regardless of all this I think it is safe to say that I had one of the most superb weekends of all time. The absolute plethora of incredible music I witnessed and the many old friends I managed to link up with made me realise that this is something I would recommend to anyone.
Sadly I only took my 5 mega pixel camera with me for one day so I have decided to use the photos from the BBC to offer my highlights and lowlights from Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Friday:
Dizzee Rascal - Mainstage business for dizzee this time round. He came through with the usual tunes but sadly not much from the earlier albums.
Queens of The Stone Age - First time to see this band live and what a show they put on. Little Sister was definitely on of my favourites from their set.
Rage Against The Machine - Sadly only caught the tail-end of their set due to watching another performance which I won't say too much about. Needless to say what I did see was exceptional as you would expect.
Saturday
Justice - First time seeing them as well. I was definitely blown away by their stage presence and light show. Easily one of the best performances all weekend.
The Killers - Headlining main stage was exactly what this super band deserved. Hit song one after another was definitely another top performance that I am sure many would agree with.
Gallows - Due to my amazement at the Killers performance I am gutted to admit that I couldn't stare at the rudeboys and see Frank Carter crowd surf from the stage to the back of the lock-up tent. From what I have heard their performance was second to none.
Sunday
Pendulum -Never did I see a tent all weekend have as much energy as when Pendulum performed on Sunday afternoon. With all the usual bangers there were mosh pits in every corner. Propane nightmares and Hold Your Colour where unbelievable to experience live.
Lethal B - Possibly one of my favourite Lethal B performances to date. Just like Pendulum most pits were plentiful. Obviously No and Pow had the crowd going absolutely mental.
Wiley - Maybe the BIGGEST disappointment all weekend. No dj, simply a band with guitarists, drums and bass, a female vocalist and some other guy. The set consisted of brand new songs that had a distinct RNB vibe to them. Clearly not what people had come to expect. Oh a 5 second version of 'what you call it' is the only remotely grime aspect of his set. Shame really.
Hold tight my friends' band Flash Guns who played on Friday at The BBC Introducing Stage. If it's your cup of tea please go and check them out. All the very best for them in the next few months!
My apologies for the excessivly long post. I guess I am making up for lost time.

CARNIVALE! Norman Jay's Good Times @ West Road
Word to your mums! Norman Jay is funkier than a mosquito's tweeter, fact. Sunday's Carnival revelry saw me & some of my nearest reach west to sample the good vibes on offer all for the over-inflated cost of a train ride. Having stayed away from the event for 11yrs, twas dope to be in the co. of carny regulars and old-skool legends Ranks & The Soul Boys... who finger-popped and 2-stepped while I captured the scenes in digital. When Norman's time was up, we slipped the queues and reached the after-party at Neighbourhood before charming the foodies at Westbourne Pk Rd into giving us pocket after pocket full of patties. The curried goat came at a price but was worth every jib
Garm-age on show was garbage but most heads half expect a can of Stripe launched over 'em in the furore of street wandering so I expected little effort from the majority. Unsurprising giving the emergence of sunglasses as 08s high-street must have, were how many gaudy frames were on show. Some get it right, but they clearly stayed indoors all weekend. Still, the day was all down to shacking out, getting gone and.... Good Times
til' the next,

SHOWstudio> FUTURETENSE
If the best way to predict the future is to invent it, the next best is to give it a helping hand. With this idea in mind, SHOWstudio launches the
‘Future Tense,’ film season. Offering a global platform for an exciting new generation of fashion design to use the medium of moving image to express their creativity.
One of the most resent designers to take place in this special project was none other than London's very own Carri Mundane and her fashion label Cassete Playa.
As her S/S 2009 collection was inspired by You Tube, they couldn't really do the Future Tense fashion film project without the inclusion of Carri Mundane's Cassette Playa. the name of the video is called T.I.M.E. and is comprised of computer-generated images, and video footage from her installation
'I CAN HAZ YOUR NIGHTMARZ TURNZ TO DREAMZ,'
presentation at June's Pitti Uomo in Florence, Mundane's film shows how her You Tube influence translated into photographic prints on her luxury sportswear, with the pixellated prints of jump-dancers coming alive as Carri brought Tempa T and few others on stage.

Notting Hill Carnival...
Monday was my first ever carnival (yes i have been living in a cave all my life and have missed out on so much) and all I can say is 'WOW'.
The Weather held out and the good vibes were flowing like a chilled bottle of supermalt..
Rolled up a bit late and was met by this wall...
After banging heads and expecting the worse we were presented with a 'Press Pass', the answer to our prayers and entrance was permitted.
The flourescent wall was so satisfying from this angle...
This was the Soundsystem everyone was trying to get too on, arrival I saw why...
Drinking beer ladies was a school boy error, the men at the carnival werent shy to say the least. The stench of piss on road was too much for my african hooter. At first I didnt believe it but I can confirm I saw a female squat in a doorway. She obviously spent her last £5 on jerk chicken...
Residents charging people to use their toilets. Big look...
Some residents made the most of it, others just coped...
The dancers and costumes were immense...
Like I said immense...
This baby couldnt have been older that 3 was climbign this fence unaided and once the little rugrat got to the top deciding to hang like he was suspended above a ball pit of summit. Go you little man...
I couldnt and still cant believe my eyes...
These makeshift soundsystems were scattered all over Notting Hill...
And before you knew it the Mavado was turned off, the sun did its final bow and it was hometime...
Thank you London. Dont read the papers, the event was a success and I cant wait till next year.
