The Pretty Things was the biggest surprise, since they were really flying! I knew The Psychedelic Warlords would be great but they still totally blew me away from this planet... And so did Eternal Tapestry and The Cosmic Dead. Uncle Acid and Goat: very cool indeed. With the also superb Astra, Radar Men from the Moon and Electric Moon gigs these were probably the only ones I saw completely.

Too much metal for me again, but what can you do. Pallbearer was a great new find: it's cool that not all the new metal/doom/sludge/whatever bands have to be the heaviest and most brutal shit ever. These guys are brave enough to show some tenderness as well. But they are still heavy! ;)

I would also really like to have seen Diagonal, maybe they can make it next year! ;) And the same goes for Hills...

It was lovely to see old friends again, and party with some of them... Thanks!
