Indietracks - an Indiepop festival with steam trains headlined by Darren Hayman!

A tour through seventy pages of the Bowlie message board and a recent article by Jude Roger’s in The Guardian has made me look forward even more to the weekend’s Indietracks festival. Been etching out a playlist that’ll hopefully rain down quintessential Pop festivity in the old locomotive shed that’s now housing the main stage due to our incredibly bad summer, while also knocking up some T-shirts featuring some of the wisdom from the Bowlie board, which you should check out here. Oh, and the PM playlist for the night, give or take one or thirty tracks, goes something like this…

Golden Bowlie quotes:

"I've been asking people I know to lend a tent but not having any luck.I'd prefer to borrow one,accidently set it on fire then face the consequences than go to Millets or somewhere to pay for one"

"the person in the middle had to sleep with their arms up the people adjancent's bottoms for reasons of space"

"I'm going to say that I sucked off every member of every male member of every band there. Then I won't ever have to speak to my sister's kids/grand kids ever again."

"I'm taking some bongos and my 3-cd set of 'Now That's What I Call Dub Reggae, Vol 3' to play all night. I'm also making a flag with a skull and crossbones on it."

"Sign up to the travel lodge list then please!

"You can take pets an' all, who's bringing a cat?"

"if there's gonna be a scrap at the pop concert can i hold the peoples' spectacles, cardigans and assorted 1 inch badges?

"dunno. i'm not really thinking there's gonna be a fight at all. i'm just really, really bored and i've got internet access."

"Fucking Bruce Springsteen can fuck off. The fucker."

"I'd prefer to listen to 'We Built This City (on Rock 'n' Roll) by Starship tha nthat shower of earfuck."

"Anyone who wears a bandana and looks this smug deserves a bullet.

"He's got a Saville Row suit on underneath that bandana.

"I don't like bananas."

"I now fully intend to gather a bunch o' Bowlies around a campfire late at night, for a rendition of The River and Nebraska (should only take about three hours). And Born in the USA."

"She had a summer job wanking off pigs one year, so watch what you're saying."

"I'm even more excited about Indie Tracks now because I've bought a Portable Cordless Ceramic Travel Hair Straightener!

"It folds up really small and it's got a little mirror with a light on!

"My life is complete."
