Melt pt.3

!!! (Chk chk chk) totally proved me wrong. I thought this band is some kind of semi-retarded, noisy electronic something, but they were crazysexycool. The singer could also be that guy from the Scissor Sisters and he can move his hips like Elvis the Pelvis, hilarious. The music was also MUCH better than I expected.

Fever Ray. You may have noticed I have a thing for The Knife and Karin Dreijer. Fever Ray is her solo project, the album sounds basically like The Knife but her voice is simply very original. Still, Fever Ray is much more quiet and calm. The show was wonderful, grandma-style lamps all over the stage shining to the beat. Unfortunately, the sound of Bloc Party from the other stage was pretty disturbing. Their new album is rather boring and unoriginal, by the way....

I had the opportunity to walk around the festival area when it was still closed for the visitors on Saturday afternoon. The cranes and all the industrial leftovers of coal mining are amazing. You can get more informations about the area itself here.

Technopicknick. Trying to dry out. The weather was a disaster, especially on Friday night. Rubber boots are the shit but they also gave me the biggest feet ache in years. New look of the summer: Rubber boots and hot pants.

Röyksopp were awesome. Their album is on heavy rotation, both on my Ipod and in the store. Ben and me were so happy and excited when Karin Dreijer Andersson (The Knife/Fever Ray) entered the stage to sing both This Must Be It from the new album Junior and What Else Is There.

Aphex Twin was all psyched and crazy, as expected. It was kind of weird having him on the big stage with Hecker, it didn't fit 100 %. Would have been better on one of the smaller stages.
