I wiped a baby's arse for about 36 hours, got about as much sleep and am not getting paid for it!

You should add all that time up and present the little bugger with a bill as soon as he's old enough to get a paper round.

"Yeah, you COULD have pissed on the kitchen floor but no, you had to go piss on the rug didn't you? That's another £10"

*Hectic Cum Balthazar* · 15th March 2010

I had a great time at Bloc, great to see everyone too.

*Spandex* · 15th March 2010

Steve doesn't go TO the party. Steve IS the party.

*Hectic Cum Balthazar* · 15th March 2010

I would have to liked to see the Model 500 live thing with Mad Mike etc, anyone catch them?

I really would have liked to have seen her...

Are there any Bloc pics floating about yet? I've yet to see any on FaceBook from emef...

**platinum ray** · 16th March 2010

Model 500 was one of the highlights and Flying Lotus was mind-blowing. I enjoyed Ben Pest, Rhythm & Sound and Placid as well

Jerome's set on the main stage was the perfect start. I was too fucked to see Bass Junkie & Dexorcist on the sunday

Not sure what to make of the grime & dubstep stuff, some of it was okay, but a lot of it was a bit too bombastic for me

**Tec** · 16th March 2010

How were Ae? Heard it was a totally new set and nothing like Oversteps - any more to add?

**Tec** · 16th March 2010

Also big ups to Booze Brown & Kleinosaur for a wicked set from what I gather on the Sunday..

**platinum ray** · 16th March 2010

Ae was on at the same time as M500

**Tec** · 16th March 2010

yea I know that, someone must've seen them play though

Anyone catch PAS incidentally?

chilli99 · 16th March 2010

it was all about dragging a load of my anti techno friends to derrick may and them all loving it

also joy orbison, mungo's hifi, kanji kinetic b2b raffertie, george fitzgerald, nathan fake, skream and benga and pretty much every other act that i saw

epic

I thought AE were crap, but then I've never really seen whats good about them.

PAS were not bad, wasn't really into model 500 either however.

Yer_Maw · 16th March 2010

thing about ae, just cos its electronic doesnt mean you can dance to it, and in darkness thres nothing to see except two green lights.

So i closed my eyes and ended up asleep.

It is weird how they are so popular.

**Loz** · 16th March 2010

Matt Whitehead.

That's all I have to say on the matter.

LukeHandsfree · 16th March 2010

Yes

Highlights:

* Matt Whitehead - proper bruv; musically the best thing of the festival imo
* Brackout - nice one to all those who turned out for it. It was brilliant. Ben would've been well embarrased at the attention!
* Joy Orbison - some incredible tunes in there
* Instra:mental - I dunno what you call what they were playing, but I loved it
* D-Bridge - Pretty good D'n'B styles...
* Whupping everyone at Sega Rally
* Pints with Koenig and C Minus and co
* Hanging out with nice random peeps what I met on the Friday/Saturday morning
* Filling in for a late DJ Hype and getting to play Jungle to 1000+ peeps in Red:BLOC
* Generally, the vibe of the whole festival... seemed really nice and chilled this time around
* My chalet buddies (aww)

Lowlights

* Feeling totally knackered and achey on the Sunday... so much so that all attempts to catch the music I wanted to hear failed (either by lateness or lethargy) and I finally ended up watching Silent Hill on the telly
* C Minus accidentally spilling a half-pint of vodka and orange in my lap while climbing across the Sega Rally screen in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent me whupping her at it, then going back to change into some other jeans and missing T++, Surgeon, Luke Vibert, and Congo Natty by falling asleep. FAIL
* Some 23 year old knobhead repeatedly demanding we "don't hate" when we slated Grandmaster Flash for being (in the words of Simon) 'the George Lucas of hip hop', and generally a rubbish DJ
* Missing cheese and wine vibes due to destructedness
* Slashing my hand up on the Monday while tidying up the chalet
* The state of Strepsil and Carla on the way back to Taunton

Generally, I had a really brilliant time though next year I am deffoe not going to overdo it on the Friday so much that I'm not bodily capable of sorting it out properly for the other days. Well done George and Alex and all the Bloc crew. Top work guys, done did it again!

Absolutely classic- I seriously thought you were trying to heighten the sonic experience & I didn't want to disturb the intensity of the experience for you by tapping you on the shoulder.
I agree about ae.
Rob Hall was ace though.

First time I saw them live I didn't quite fall asleep, but I did have a well-needed lie down. Autechre=not dancefloor gear in the slightest (on that occasion). But good anyway.

cynthia · 16th March 2010

and how was Salt n Pepa is what I wanna know....???

joe pinapples · 16th March 2010

Salt n Pepa without Spindarella? B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T.

cynthia · 17th March 2010
