So after all the talk and the hoo-hah and the scumbags and the line-up announcements and the pictures of burning tents and the hating and the rain and the mud and more talk and hoo-hah, Oxegen has rolled around again, boasting what is probably the best line-up of all European festivals. Those of you who have been there before and have been to any other festival other than it too can attest that as far as things-to-do is concerned Oxegen is severely lacking but nobody can argue with the quality line-up showcasing some of the best that music is offering at the moment.

Most of you are already down there but its not too late and perhaps this post will show you what it is you're missing. In the read more we've picked what we think is the best of the weekend. Three categories of Acts that can't be missed, Acts worth checking out and Irish acts to see (this will not include the 4 way power-house of Irish mediocrity that is the Friday night line-up in the Green Room. Sawdoctors, Aslan, Mundy, Bell X1, Shudder).




Top 5 Acts That Can't Be Missed

1. Justice
Clashing with the Prodigy should prove no problem for the new saviours of Dance, who are sure to finish off Saturday night by getting the crowd grooving to their funky next-level-Daft-Punk sounds.

Justice - D.A.N.C.E.


2. Battles
How many times do we have to tell you to check this band out? Hopefully this should be the last.

Battles - Tij


3. Aphex Twin

Richard D James returns from wherever the hell he's been to wow us hell. Or scare the shit out of us if he wears one of the masks from the Come to Daddy video.

Aphex Twin - Window Licker



4. The Music
Vastly vastly underrated Dance-Rock band. Pissed no doubt at Kasabian stealing their style and doing a giant shit on it.

The Music - Getaway

5. Rage Against The Machine

The "Angriest band in the World"(TM) return to entice folks to crack some (hopfully scumbag) skulls in the mosh pit. Prepar to scream "Fuck" very very loudly.

Rage Against the Machine - Take the Power Back

Top 5 Acts Worth Checking Out


1. Holy Fuck

Canadian dancey types prove that they're not just a funny name.

Holy Fuck - Lovely Allen


2. Friendly Fires


More fans of the 80's. Uk Three-piece make frantic electro tuneage.

Friendly Fires - Lovesick


3. Jaguar Love
US Synth drive squawky types cause confusion as to gender of singer. Fans of Blood Brothers will be used to this. Awesome.

Jaguar Love - Highways of Gold



4. Yeasayer


Self-described as "Enya with bounce" but don't let that turn you off. I happen to love Enya so I'm already erect.

Yeasayer - Wait for the Summer


5. Does it Offend You Yeah?

Uk Dance types who can't decide exactly what style they want to be but are awesome at each one they try.

Does if Offend You Yeah? - We Are Rockstars



Top 5 Irish Acts To See
(this could easily have been a top 10)

1. Crayonsmith


Fresh from US tour dublin souls return for what will hopefully be gigs of awesomeness.

Crayonsmith -6Am Again



2. God is an Astronaut

With a live set thats never been captured completely on record, God is... are visually and sonically stunning.


God is an Astronaut - All is Violent, All is Bright



3. Dry County
Indie-electro darlings with the un-enviable challenge of playing at the same time as Rage Against the Machine which is a shame because this gig will be their last under this moniker apparently.


4. Halves

Dublin types throw up dreamy post-rock to help pill heads come down.

Halves - Medals



5. Fight Like Apes
Ireland's bright new shouty hopes take to Oxegen after two GLastonbury shows broadcast on BBC.


Fight Like Apes - Lend Me Your Face

Its Thursday so not that much left to go well that is if you work monday to Friday if you don't adjust last statement to suit.
Todays Mp3 is by Friendly Fires. Friendly Fires is singer Ed MacFarlane, drummer Jack Savidge, and guitarist Edd Gibson.Formed out of the ashes of 'First Day Back', the St Albans hardcore band they formed while still at school, Friendly Fires make razor-sharp post-punk that burns through the memories of all the dismal, skinny jeaned ‘80s revivalists you’ve been hearing these past few years. Sounding brittle, knotty and urgent, Friendly Fires are the real deal. With no fat or padding on them at all, their songs possess an elegant sparseness. As guitarist Edd Gibson notes: “The hardest thing I think is to know what to leave out, to know when something is enough.” But amongst all the strpped-back twists, there are also moments full of deep, blessed-out melodies. “I love lush, massive, tingly chords; the My Bloody Valentine sound,” says bassist and singer Ed MacFarlane. The mp3 i gonna give you is Bring Out Your Dead off there Cross The Line (EP).
Bring Out Your Dead

Heres two of there videos
Friendly Fires 'On Board'


Friendly Fires "Paris"

if they don't at least get your head bobbing in work your dead , so you can go home dead people don't have to work
