Unfortunately this isn't the homage to Tim I was hoping for... http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20535-sherwood-at-the-controls-vol-1-1979-1984/

You going to see Konono No.1? They were great fun at MG ATP, apart from their surprise supergroup/jam thingy, where they all looked very very tired and a bit grumpy (apart from the dude far right (who isn't Jason Pierce!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fQ7p7KxBR0

Interested? http://www.last.fm/event/4038833+Convergence+2015:+Andy+Stott,+Untold+%28live%29+-+more+tba x

I doubt people will be dancing, but after an hour of danrobear they will be, but it doesn't have to be. DANCE MONKEY. As long as you could imagine travelling round a goat themed ghost train esq style miniature ride virtually, then you've meet the brief! Your 'psychy/trippy/giddy/too much candy floss and feeling sick' vibe sounds pretty great to be honest. Send on over a list of tracks so i don't double up with you, and i'll make a start on my hour tonight! x

Did you book the return bus? I really like the new Interpol, some excellent songs on there, really like Everything is Wrong too. You're a good boy aren't you, might as well get the most of that Sky box. You freaking Libyan. Yeah man I'm definitely up for Camera, free innit. I love a free gig me. Their new album comes out next week so will check that out. I downloaded the new JC&TV, I've been sent both tracks cos I preordered the album, did you buy it? £3 for the digital version! I gotta say I'm excited to hear the full album.

Oh and Michael Rother's mates Camera playing Rough Trade on the 2nd.

Megabus is booked! Victoria at 9, get to Bristol at 1130, £6 each!! I read that on DiS too, totally agree, The Strokes being another example. I really like the album, Anywhere is awesome! Watched the first BE yesterday, good start, won't say anything incase you haven't seen it, only 7 left!! While you're down there love. The Rat is based on a ride isn't it?

Here he is. Lovely bit of Pension Danny on Last. Such a treat. Everythings coming up Danny. I guess if there was a brief it would include theme park music. I'm thinking music that could work as ride music (repetitive but fun and dancy) mixed with anything you can find online from actual rides (but not to many as it gets a bit annoying after a while!), plus songs with references to rides. I'm looking at RHCP Love Rollercoaster, or Rollercoaster Ride by Belle and Seb. You get the picture. I know that the man danrobear will deliver a mind blowing hour of TUNES! x

Pulling off a Dan. Tugging off a Dan to completion. Best album OF the decade more like it! Nah gonna listen to it again but on first listen it sure is great to have them boys back! Oh look at Pitchfork giving them yet another bad review, clever boys. What's this new code of conduct then? Oh really? I'll probably slowly watch the rest of Horseman Hughjackmon then. Rectify has the same producers as BB doesn't it? Will add that to the list then. Bloody Libyans!! Oh I'll be watching it as soon as I finish work, take them Libyans into the breakroom. Yeah you're right, IMDb is saying 8 episodes, what the fuck!?

If you're still game it looks like the DJ/music line up for next friday looks a little something like this: 18.00 -19.00: johnwilliams 19.00 - 20.00: persistentperil (ginny) 20.00 - 21.00: danrobear 21.00 - 22.00: persistentperil (sam) As drdinnermint can no longer go we will replace him with John Williams JP score. Its the only thing that comes half as close! So please no JP in your hour! x

Shabazz Palaces playing Brighton the night before the London gig, so might end up going to that! See if the C-Dogg fancies it. Whoop! Off to Pingo Doce, um, I mean Madeira tomorrow, eek! If only we were going in December, as this film festival looks wonderful http://mmiff.com The town is only 25 mins away from where we are by bus, so might go there just for a day as it looks stunning, maybe you can pay to use the infinity pool at the hotel too, that would be nice. I've decided i'm not doing a dream team this year, can't be arsed. Ed of an era. Enjoy Jabberwocky, I look forward to returning to a small dissertation on the festival, including a breakdown on the Dyson hand dryers they seem so proud of x

This is well worth investing some time in, lovely drone! http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19559-lawrence-english-wilderness-of-mirrors/ x

Visions sounds like it was a right old do! You and Mr WK now bessie mates? COCO! You want to go to the o2 for that? So annoying it's there. We went to the proper Brooklyn Bowl in NY but only for a drink, we'll go bowling next time. Really liking the new Spoon, love them boys. Caribou is growing a bit, Mars may be my stand out track so far. Definitely not the one with the girl singing. Ugh. I'm hoping on Flylo to make my AOTY now! Joe? Oh hello Joe, Joe Joe, Joe, Joe Joe, Joe Joe, Joe, Joe Joe, Joe Joe, Joe, Joe Joe, Joe Joe, Joe, Joe Joe, Joe Joe, Joe, Joe Joe, etc. Go watch GOTG!

...Far to much food over the last few days though, 5 course taster menu at Langshott, massive breakfast and cream tea, then meat fest back in Brighton, followed by a roast on Sunday. My insides still hate me! Adam was slap fee, Vicky seemed fine post mega cycle, Tunch was beyond handsome, all round good times. I would recommend seeing GotG, but then I preferred Joe overall, so what do I know! It’t really enjoyable fun, but a lot of the extended action set pieces boarded me to tears. Some amazing dialogue/banter in it, and the old gang in it is great (excluding the two demential underwritten female character, as is Marvel's want). So your Jabberwocky stage times are great! Gutted to miss it, but pleased I have 50% of toG there to do the research for next year! Enjoy Coco, dance your little feet off! Can;t believe I’m on holiday on Friday, can't wait now! x

I’m no lunatic! You’re a lunatic, for giving Joe (Mr. Joe to me and you) a solid 6. I clearly liked it a lot more than you guys, it’s no masterpiece thats for sure, but I thought it was very good, just never great. Great to see David Gordon Green return to this style of filmmaking, and that he may bounce between this and frat boy comedies. I thought Cage was excellent, but it wasn’t a return to form as he never lost form! I have an irrational problem with Tye Sheridan playing these roles, he’s just to clean cut to be that families kid, but hey ho. A solid 7(.5) from me. Visions sounds fun, you an WK living it up, talking Rampton! How was the after party, good times? I agree with your Polica points, don;t understand how she’s so big! Have to try and see the Range another time, sounds good! The big 3-0 weekend was good thanks, lovely times at Langshott Manor on Friday night....

Joe - "Gary was a homeless man given the part of Wade the Father by the directer, Green, who often casts locals in his movies. He died on the streets of Austin a couple of months after filming stopped." Too much breakdancing.

I'm no lunatic, I'm just your friendly drowned in sound reader: http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4444683 and the clashfinder is on there, all clashy and findy. I think I would choose Dirty Beaches out of those two, but then you know, I have spectacular ears. I did not know that s t a r g a z e, had worked with Nils Frahm and Pantha du Prince, but still, any band that sounds like a school dance group can't be taken seriously. I'm seeing Guardians of the Galaxy tonight, which should be fun times. I may have one of those cinema spirits in a black coffee, yummy. I look forward to a small dissertation on Joe tomorrow. GOAT-TASTIC x

Oh and I saw Nicolas 'Joe' Cage on Monday night, it was very good. Enjoy the Cage, acting the shit out of that film. I won't say anything else other than whilst your watching it, imagine that you had to do a shot every time a character says "Joe". x

That pesky Goat leaked all over my ears last night, it's got some great goaty juices. I once saw this goat leak itself into this trough, true story! http://www.slrobertson.com/images/europe/turkey/goat-drinking-b.jpg Cheeky goat. GOAT. That imaginary collaboration would be very special, make it happen Dan, make it so! OH FUCK! s t a r g a z e are playing too, count me in/out/shake/about. Yeah, I read that, but still no dice, I can't justify it, even with s t a r g a z e! That's a lovely day, what about ending on the joyful Perfume Genius? Shame to put him on then and against the mighty Fake! FAKE. GOAT. You know Eagulls and Dirty Beaches are on at the same time. CLASH. I'm enjoin the USE of BLOCK capitals in THIS message. x

What more could you want huh? I have a feeling this is going to be a decent Cage film, if such a thing exists anymore. Shame on your Beck, massive shame on you. That band fun. can go fuck themselves.

How funny you sent that, I literally just got back from Rough Trade, I took a punt yesterday and bought it and just returned it. Got half way through, absolute shite. Fucking shit. CAAAAAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE A B C D E F G H I SHILSHUHJISSBBHSH JOE!

Listened to the Range album last night, thanks for that, it's really good, I think I only played it after listening to the EP first before, so it suffered in comparison, but yeah, its great. Thanks for the code. I don't think i'm that fussed about seeing Julia Holter again right now, I really enjoyed her last year, but I have enough on the horizon now! So the United friendlies went quite well. Villa still on 100% win rate too, it's that Joe Cole, he's a genus. Or something. Garth and Ginny both out the studio for a minute so getting some Shabazz Palaces on! Its really great! x

And Tim Wheeler doing a Bez!

Here he is, didn't take much to persuade you only some Captain Murphy action! Oh and that fella Thundercat. Full band show, that's a first! 4 tickets for this one gang I know coming up tomorrow, unless it does an Interpol and sells out straight away. Turn me the fuck up yo. Louder! Louder! LOUDER! ...... .... .. . .. What a madman, can't trust a guy who confuses Friday with a Saturday.

Jack the lad me. Birds and booze and footy. Dunno man, I reckon that's going to be his only London show as he's in the UK that month and can't see another London show being announced that soon to iTunes. Heyheyheyheyhey. Nice one on Abbott, should be a right old knees up. Thought anymore about Flylo, tickets are around £30, def getting me, Sam and Slap ones on Friday. Managed to find that mix, listened to all the Dark Star tracks, real club bangers. Sorry man, already made plans to go to the expo, I thought you were doing it on Friday first. New Simple Things announcement, HOW TO DRESS WELL WHILE TURNING THE MIKE UP! Oh and Liars.

I can only remember the meantime and pizza. Doubling up on both was the greatest decision of my life/day/afternoon. Thanks for the nice positive words about young Kieran 'next Giggsy' Richard-Giggsy. It basically means we will definitely play the Holland system of 5-3-2 next season, with him down the left wing back, which is a real concern. We are at our best with the three pronged attack of Gabby-Bentekkers-Weimann, but that won't happen any more. Joe Cole is going to be the creative of a three man midfield of him Westwood and Delph, Jesus we are domed! It's fine though cause Bent is back from Fulham and scored twice in a friendly. YES. a good 75%, i'm dining at casa de Curtis on Friday, see if we can get it up to 100%! Let me give the new album a listen then I'll let you know about the SP gig. Now FlyLo is playing in November I think that beats it though x

Oh I see, a shout or two to Mr. D Mint, including Evra chat, no it's fine, I understand (starts sobbing uncontrollably). Nah, it's all good, i'll pull myself together. YES! Get a ticket for the Luke Abbott gig, join us. Free Migration is a SBTOTY contender! AWVFTS are playing in Brighton before their London gig in October, so might have to go see them twice in four days, like a sad little fanboy. I doubt I will go to the London gig in Feb if I do that though, so if the Interpol album lives up to the first tracks standards then I may keep an eye out on that bad boy and re-live the past (and enjoy the present) with you. This passed me by (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28271907) What a team we will have next year, at least Okore will be back from injury, and fill the inevitable void of Vlaar leaving! x

Next up is the new Spoon in a couple of weeks. Lindsay did mention the bbq, I'm planning on going to a comic exhibition at the British Library so don't think I'm gonna be around man. Yeah Sam got tickets the other week, get on that before it sells out like Interpol.

Oh hello to you too. Who are you, are you real? The words you have typed on this Lastfm thing is coming through fine but how long will it last(fm)? Paris was awesome, absolutely loved it there, defo interested in Pitchfork next year if the lineup is good. There was a lot of sport chat actually, but mainly quoting the English Office and Brass Eye. I was hanging both days, really naughty but wasn't my standard can't get out of bed one. Went to loads of really cool bars including one they filmed a scene from Inglorious Bastards in! Went to the old red light district too you know what I mean? Saw Moulin Rouge, the place not the shite film. Went out dancing one night, the talent was all over me, standard. Fucking iTunes Festival, why can't he just play a normal show? Why's he messing with us? I've not heard the new SP, didn't even realise they had a new album. I can't get that link to work, is it meant to be clickable? I haven't bought a new album in ages, think Lone was the last.

HEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYHEYH

...The War On Drugs are playing Brighton tomorrow, sold out unfortunately, as the album keeps growing on me. It's not SBAOTY contender, but its bloody good! There doesn't seem to be a huge amount out for the next few months that I am really excited about, would like to hear the Abbott, but not going to take a punt on it. Looking forward to some classic BBC Glasto coverage this weekend, going to be golden!

Here he is, back once again with the old gang master. That sounds like the only way to watch Nigeria vs. Bosnia! How good was South Korea v Algeria, great way to end the weekend. Oh and what a weekend it was too. We all got quite merry, but good old Ginny got hammered at PP's 3rd birthday drinks on Friday night, great stuff! So that was fun/ny. Saw the slap on Friday and Saturday and watched Lego movie on beach with Rufus. Then Sunday went to Eastbourne to Towner, then to Paradise Park after. You would love Paradise Park, it's in Newhaven, and everything seems dinosaur based! It's pretty great and pretty massive too. The gardens are Sussex themed, and have monuments celebrating places in Sussex, including the Southwick Power Station. Hope all is well with you, what have you been up to post MADchester? Obviously I am looking forward to boring James Milner playing tonight (love that twitter, good find!) It looks like a good team, apart from fat Frank!...

I agree with Sam, this post Primavera Last Dan is alright, how long is it going to last? Last. I really want to go back one year, dunno when thou as there are plenty of other places to visit, I do miss Barcelona thou. One more? Silly old Mexican cunt. Simple Things then, pretty surprised Mogwai are headlining, don't get me wrong thou it is awesome. What you thinking about the Friday as well then? I was counting up how many times I've seen Caribou, so far I think it's 14, could be 17 by the end of this year. Feels weird not going to Field Day this year, oh well at least there's Jabbbbbbbbbbaweewee with your mate White Fake Beard.

I'm loving this new post Primavera Dan on last, shout response time is up 214%. If you got up a bit earlier Thursday you would have opened it with the best thing of the whole bloody festival! Miserable, but best! I would have sacked off Darkside for some lovely National, but it makes sense, I guess. Poor guys, weeping into their dressing room once they found out you sacked them off. Great overview though, looking forward to some detail on Sat! So, you get to see Mogwai again, yay! I think the Friday in Bristol is a must, but then I would! Angel Olsen for me tonight, looking forward to it, she best be good! I fully expect you to shuffle off for Jaako on Sat, you mad man you. Speaking of Mad Men, have you seen the amazing 'for your consideration' posters, they're great! I can't believe I haven't mentioned how your Thursday of music could have been better! You could have been at this with me! http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pet-shop-boys/2014/brighton-centre-brighton-england-3c0c1a3.html x

Jesus, I forgot to mention the National! How could you, not even for half an hour? I watched about six tracks on the live stream before end (rock and roll), and he seemed wasted, and they seemed really great, apart from when the Bon Iver dude came out for Slow Show and ruined the end. You've seen them play the latest stuff before though, haven't you, so fair enough. Two of the Walkmen joined them too, you know that? The National AND the Walkmen! Oh well. In all the excitement I forgot to ask if you have had a chance to listen to the new Phantom Band album? It's streaming on DIS (http://drownedinsound.com/news/4147820-album-stream--the-phantom-bands-proto-robofolk-masterpiece-strange-friend) and I really like it. Wasn't to sure at first, but have given it a fare few listens since, and I'm really enjoying it. Could end up being the best traditional indie album this year, if that makes sense. Very them with lots of Menomena and TV on the Radio thrown in on the side, I'm liking a lot now x

LET'S FUCKING HAVE IT PRIMAVERAAAAAAAAA!!!! Ha that's annoying, I forgot they were even playing. It does sound fucking wicked, jealous we couldn't go, how would you rate it to other years? Glad you got to see most of the bands you wanted and the ones you were hyped for didn't disappoint. Oh and well done for not see The National YEOOOOO! I really liked Roll the Dice when I listened earlier. The first Simple Things announcement is coming tomorrow, ABOUT TIME

Wow this is seriously overwhelming! dansroberts overload!! Now that is a proper Primavera review, it sounds freaking awesome not that it's any surprise. That first day is easily the best, NMH / QOTSA / Arcade Fire / Moderat is pretty insane to be honest. Haha you really hated the beardy man didn't you? Did you like his nice fake looking beard? I am looking forward to seeing them again at Jabberwockinuyter. I saw the Arcade Fire setlist which was pretty sweet, bet that would have been proper fun. I hope many a slice of pizza was eaten in the food court while drying off. How did he offend the drummer?? You should have gone straight to FF instead of SBTKRT but at least you know to avoid him forever, I've never liked him really. FF were awesome in Brighton the other week, love those guys live. Ah that's cool you met Talabot, hope you kissed his Spanish face. One more? It is very unfamiliar doing so much shoutboxing, this is very alien to me! What an awesome review thou, great job!

Found the Metronomy track on Vimeo, umm, its really not me at all, but happy to do the last hour after EIY. Don't know whats up with youtube for me, madness! Madness I Say! x

I could do this all day! http://clashfinder.com/s/fday2014/?hl1=eastin,jamesh,jonhop,metron,omarso,oneoht1,toddte&hl2=bloodo,fatwhi&

I think everyone said how brilliant Mad men is/was, including my Mum. But I do remember you guys giving it the hard sell, and rightly so. I need to get on the Roll The Dice album, if only tonight was a Nonny swim night huh, bloody wifey being in and around and that. Are you free on Sunday, if Nonny and real junior do come up for just the day? We were thinking of going to a park that looks cool (weather dependent) which has a petting zoo in it. Its quite central, near Russell Square I think. x

Haha. sonny. Alright junior. Enough of that, what an epic review. I loved every second of reading that. Obviously Thursday could have been a lot better, but I'll drop that now. Thats the beauty of primavera, when you write it all down the amount of amazing bands you see is incredible. Well played sir. i do really want to go back sometime soon, who bloody knows when though. I want to know more about this Haim telling off! Sounds like a plan mr Dan, get some drinks and watch the tasty drink man from the back of the main stage, then head back for a bit of Terje! Lovely. I'm game for watching EIY then going and seeing most of Metronomy then, but only if I can hold your hand? Every time I try and load that youtube link it crashes my safari, what is a boy to do? I didn't dislike Fat White Family at all, and think they would be good fun crazy noisy times to close, but happy to see a bit/all of EIY and then most of Metronomy, why the hell not huh? That showed me, hey sonny?

Wow Metronomy at number 1!! I presume the music was actually good too and you haven't just stuck them there cos Anna is one smoking piece of tail? We'll be seeing them at Best Kept Secret, well I'll be seeing her you know what I'm saying? You old dog you, right in the kisser. I bet QOTSA are happy to have you back on their team! We saw them in Belfast last year innit, they were fucking awesome. Did you know we're also going to the Josh Homme solo show at Meltdown in a couple weeks? Number 1 fan over here. I don't like SBTRKT so that's good to hear, no Pixies oh well, no big deal if sound was shit. How about NMH and Arcade Fire? 4 girls from Tinder?? As in ones you've met up with before? You are an animal. We caught the last 2 or 3 songs of Tame Impala who sounded great but it was all about the AM. I'd never listened to them before!

I'm happy to turn Todd Green! http://clashfinder.com/s/fday2014/?user=01p4mp.m5& This would work for me, and maybe stock up on booze and food after Oneohtrix, how keen on Blood Orange are you? If he is anywhere near as good as http://content.costco.com/Images/Content/Product/651372b.jpg then I could be tempted, but that is one hell of a drink! x

...Even though they are your number 1, I'm thinking East India Youth and Fat White Family to close, just because of the sound n the main stage for AC was so decking low, and the fun mentalness that comes with FWF gigs (apparently). Still not seen EIY either, so that should be good. Thanks for the avoid tips! x

Wow, what a top five, Metronomy number 1 huh, I have no interest in seeing them, despite this incredible placing in the old top five list! Now I have said that watch me watch them (and love them) on Saturday! I was going to say the same thing, who are Antibalas, but T-Dogg beat me to it, that handsome fast bastard. Did you not see NMH? You're welcome to hit either last box up with a full review, thats cool, I can just get minor details from you on Sat. Thanks for the offer, but we are staying at Tunch and Lindsays, as Nonny and Rufus may come up on the Sat too. They are definitely coming up Sunday for the day, but this way we have the option if Nonny fancies the whole weekend in the big smoke. I have never heard of Jaako Eino Kalevi over, but you will miss Holden and Souleyman to see him, wow! Think of the beads! I'm up for seeing Todd Terje, see what all the fuss is about, as wasn't too, um, fussed, when listened to the album.

Oh hello and welcome back you old sexpest!! Did you have a nice time? I was enjoying your photos, you're just going to go every year until you die ain't ya? Cheers for the top 5, is that in order then? Metronomy number 1? I don't know who Antibalas are but loving QOTSA in there! We may be doing a week in Ireland in August and they so happen to be playing Belfast again. I wouldn't mind hearing a full report but no spoilers for Sam. Do you have a worst/disappointing 3? Did you see Jordi by the way? Oh yeah shit you would have heard the gig, we saw them on the Friday, I've never been an AM fan but they were brilliant! So so good, great live band and made me realise they've got some wicked songs, Lindsay gave it a 10 naturally!

Here he is. I hope you had an amazing Primavera, I'm look forward to hearing all (and I mean ALL) about it on Saturday, but feel free to hit us with a top five in prep! Look what came out today? https://www.facebook.com/fielddaylondon/photos/a.382428295819.193083.312769280819/10152510113600820/?type=1&theater But where is Avey Tare gone? Highly suspect. x

Have fun at Primavera you handsome bastard, and bloody watch AWVFTS! x

Hey handsome! Shira is back in London on the day of Visions, so I doubt I will be attending x

Fucking How to Dress Well! What a wonderful instillation piece on the concept of levels that was. He smashed it out the (Victoria) park. There must be someone better than Glen Johnsen and Jones for RB? Help me out here. Let me know how you get on with Swans! x
