THE B-TEAM TOUR - THE REPORT & ROUND-UP

BB writes..

Nearly 3 weeks ago we'd just finished our first proper tour. I was lying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself while eating junk and catching up on Big Brother while everyone else went back to their jobs. It was only a small tour but..boy did it drag! Of course not! It wizzed by! We had a lorra lorra laughs! Pictish & Rozi (& her band) were such great fun to hang out with. We'd love to do another tour. Let's do another tour! It'll happen again soon i'm sure. Like with most things we seem to do, it takes a few weeks to recover and blog the photos, videos, etc. I'd love to go into great detail about the tour but i won't because it'll bore me and it'll no doubt bore you. Plus i don't think it's a good thing telling everyone everything!..i can't believe i just said that. It's really hard remembering everything as well. I enjoyed doing the tour diary on Twitter..thats the way forward! short simple facts, instant bubbles of guff, snapshots of what's happening at that very point, rather than this, which is basically me dragging out an excuse as to why there's no proper tour diary (see below for a link to my tour tweets). I think the best thing for any OLO fan (if there are any out there!?) to do would be to have a look at the holiday snaps and the 4 videos that are linked below. Deal!? OK.

GREEN MAN FESTIVAL '09 - THE REPORT

I Had myself a wonderful time at this year's Green Man Festival as you may have seen from my photos (over 3 weeks ago now - why am i always soo late with these reports?). Probably the most perfect festival i've ever been to in terms of music, weather, friends, atmosphere, & fun. I had myself some testing times due to the things i did to my body but i just about got over them to carry on. The toilets were pretty damn good!

My musical highlights were..

Grizzly Bear

Gang Gang Dance

Animal Collective

Bon Iver

The Three Craws / Pictish Trail / Rozi Plain

The Aliens

Pivot

British Sea Power

The Phantom Band

Beach House

I missed quite a bit. Friends + sun + booze = fun & confusion.

Us OLO Worms were given free tickets in exchange for playing some music inbetween the Fence acts. DEAL! Although no one told us we'd actually be ON the stage! At the front of the stage! With a whole tent watching the 3 of us (SW had to pull out) awkwardly standing there watching The Three Craws set up their gear while queuing up the next track. It may not have looked it but we loved it!

Below are the tracks that made up our DJ set (maybe not in the right order)..

(BB's mini mix..
Clouddead - No.5 (1)
Flight Of The Navigator Theme
KLF - Dream Time In Lake Jackson
Kraftwerk - Uranium
Boards Of Canada - The Color Of The Fire
Aidan Moffat - International Valentine
James Holden - Lumpette)

Paul Simon - Me And Julio Down By The School Yard
Animal Collective - Who Could Win A Rabbit
Pavement - Cut Your Hair
Big Cherry - Come In Bonzo

(DF's mini mix - tracklist unknown)

Van Dyke Parks - Sweet Trinidad
T.Rex - Jewel
Ronnetes - Be My Baby
The Zombies - Friends Of Mine
The Kinks - Who'll Be The Next In Line
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Poodle Rockin'
Can - Spoon
Fever Ray - When I Grow Up (Remix)
Black Beauty Theme

Queen - I Want To Break Free
King Biscuit Time - I Walk The Earth
Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day

(the rest can't be recalled)

Due to it being a few weeks ago i won't write any more as i can't remember much stuff now.

Here are the links to the photos and video..
