Truck Festival
After lengthy negotiations with the council, the Truck Festival organisers have completed their licence amendment for this year. This means they're able to increase the site capacity from 5000 to 6000. This means ore tickets are available! Buy one now!
La Plagne
I realise this isn't at all music related but with all the adrenaline filled competitions we've been running recently (Wakestock + Boardmasters) I thought I'd let you know about La Plagne. Basically it's a ski resort which turns into an extreme mountain biking trail when the summer rolls around and the snow packs up it's bags to head for Austria. So yeah, if you fancy battling the elements this summer I'd suggest going there!

Schadenfreude. I think you've pretty much covered it in the last paragraph: when we're down, we search for culture which empathises; when we're up, we search for culture which makes us see the value and worth of our current 'positive' situation. Not everyone though: some people detest dark comedy, cynical people and skeptical views. [view article]
