Deciding to post this here, since I'm a tiny bit more excited for Orbital's set - last Friday I decided completely last minute to fly out to the UK for the BBC Biggest Weekend Festival next weekend. Most all details are sorted, and I'm getting my passport expedited in Chicago this Thursday.
SEEING ORBITAL AND UNDERWORLD ON THE SAME WEEKEND
PLUS A BUNCH OF OTHER GREAT ACTS ON THE LINEUP
And (probably)
Leftfield, Green Velvet, and Four Tet in Glasgow the following Sunday (ticket prices are high-ish and I'm kinda more excited to see Glasgow than Leftfield... prooooobably still going though).
Also have 3 full days in London before heading to Belfast Friday, and a day in Glasgow after Leftfield.
Cheap as hell no-luggage plane tickets, travelling with basically the clothes on my back, spending as little as humanly possible. Wife and I scored more summer school loans than we needed, so instead of sending it back I'm spending it here... I'll work it off later!
I'm fuckin pumped.
1. What should I see in London / Glasgow?
2. Music recommendations for travelling? Especially stuff that might thematically or incidentally connect to London and the UK? (bringing Dubnobasswithmyheadman for example, and giving Saint Etienne's So Tough a second shot)
Never for money, always for love.
