BDO 2008

Normally I love nothing more than loathing the Big Day Out line up and blabbing on about how I could make such a better festival, whatever, we all know I'm shit. But don't forget, you're shit too.

I'm not sure whether it is soley because RATM are coming or if the line up is actually fairly decent for a first one, I'm excited. What I'm not excited about is the tossbags that go to the Big Day Out. Honestly, I'll go on record as saying that the BDO crowd is easily the biggest bunch of fuckwits walking the planet, assembled alongside the 10% of people who have an enjoyment of music and not Extra Dry.

Anyways, I'm not saying anything revolutionary, we all know about the Southern Cross baring red necks that parade around harassing innocent babes (who just want to get a nice tan) whilst waiting for the John Butler Trio to start so they can show off their incredible dance moves.

Heres the line up:
Rage Against The Machine
Bjork
Arcade Fire
Billy Bragg
LCD Sound System
Dizzie Rascal
Battles
Something with Numbers
Cut off your hands
Grinspoon
Midnight Juggernauts
Paul Kelly
Sarah Blasko
Faker

I wouldn't find it a bad idea to ban having Australian bands play Big Day Out. I can see the benefit the bands get with exposure but honestly, if I wanted to see boring Australian acts I'd go to Homebake or if I was feeling festive and wanted to see good Australia bands, I'd go to Sandwich Club.
