Why does Glasto have such a nice easy vibe while Irish festivals are chock-full of skangers? I'd go to Glastonbury again in a heartbeat but nothing would persuade me to shell out my hard-earned on Oxygen (shudder). Somehow paying to have my tent p*ssed on has no appeal any more - I must be getting old.
I think this was one of the worst Glastos for crime (489 reported 'incidents', 134 arrests and more theft from tents than previous years. There were 80 arrests at Oxegen last year, which has half the attendence. Over half of these were for public order offences.)
To be honest, I think the 'easy vibe' is down to the amount of drugs people are consuming as opposed to largescale consumption of alcohol which is the chosen drug at Oxegen. There is always going to be less hassle at something when everyone is just stoned and not hammered drunk.
UnaRocks does not UPLOAD music. All music links provided are ones that already exist online, or mp3s from band and record label websites. If you are in a band / band management and wish me to remove any of these links, I will, of course, oblige. UnaRocks believes that music sharing actively enriches our musical climate. Music sharing is as old as music itself. People who download music buy more records, go to more gigs, and buy more music merchandise than those who do not. The recent phenomonan of online music sharing has been credited to the ongoing resurgance in the live music scene across our world, and the increasing successes of 'indie' or 'underground' bands. In turn, if you are in a band / band management and wish me to post a link to a song for the pleasure of the readers of UnaRocks, please do not hesitate to contact me by commenting on this blog. Peace.
