• Condenser mics need phantom power
• Talkback dims the control room monitors
• Don’t be shy with the gain

The Cribs – slagged off global warming hippies. Modest Mouse – made the sun come out. Bright Eyes – didn’t slag off John Peel this time. Bloc Party – were as good as their last album. The Fratellis – forgot to switch the speakers on. Arcade Fire – are my new favourite band. Bjork – sang a ballad about a pregnant suicide bomber, but other than that was awesome. Seasick Steve – didn’t shoot his step dad. The Pipettes – are hot. The Long Blondes – have one good song, and yes, they played it last. CSS – … . Paul Weller – made me have weird dreams while I was sleeping in the tent. Noisettes – came on half an hour early and I missed them. Rodrigo y Gabriella – needed seven roadies to fix one guitar and started half an hour late, but it was worth it! Willy Mason – played on a stage about seven miles away from anything else, and then didn’t even play either of my two favourite songs. The Who – didn’t even smash their guitars.
