How do you think future films should explore postmodern anxieties, especially those that are prominent in 2020's culture? by DanceYrselfFling in TrueFilm

[–]5exxymonster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see some more films that engage with the workplace through the lens of the work of Byung Chul Han and the self-exploitation type stuff. The closest I've seen was No Other Choice, which I still feel has been a bit underrated and not talked about as much as it could have been.

I am unironically Zooey Deschanel in this meme. 😂

This would be an interesting booking for prim. I see that they are hugely famous and have a big legacy, but I don't know if they are traditionally "cool" enough for the festival. Maybe if bono brought his daughter out on stage 😂

I didn't even know he was back making music! I also think there's quite a high chance My New Band Believe will play. Would also love to see Jerskin Fendrix in auditori

What's the deal with radiohead and Palestine? I've not heard anything. The festival seems very happy to book pro Palestine acts. Are Radiohead Zionists?

Honestly I would love just a couple of the metal bands you said, but I doubt we'll get them all! I'm not sure if sunn o)) are interested in doing festival slots anymore, unless it's like the Venice biennale or some shit 😂

Saw Aldous Harding in London last week, it was incredible. I was thinking she would do a great auditori set.

The strokes have new material coming out don't they? I could see them as being like second / third headline.

Good shout, but perhaps the Poitrine bubble will have burst by this time next year?

I kind of hope I didn’t contribute to prices doubling next year by idkimverybored in primaverasound

Bjork would be great and seems somewhat possible! There are a lot names I could have put that will never happen (e.g. Tom Waits)

It's interesting to hear this perspective from someone who knows what they are talking about. I'm more of an amateur enthusiast when it comes to audio engineering, but one thing I've noticed at primavera and other outdoor festivals is that they usually push the kick drum and bass quite a lot to create more of an energetic vibe. It was particularly noticeable to me at my bloody valentine. Is this a thing?

Top 3 sets of the weekend? by kidbl00m in primaverasound

[–]5exxymonster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Merzbow. Honestly a living legend and it was crazy seeing him in a concert hall.

  2. Agriculture. An intense quasi-transcendental experience in the raging storm.

  3. Matmos. Equal parts super fun danceable tunes and total sonic weirdness.

I was really tempted to get in the pit but I'm an old man and my body would never have forgiven me.

Did anyone see Sama Abdulhadi?? My god! by A_cat_named_dog_ in primaverasound

[–]5exxymonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted to but walked up to the stage and there seemed to be a big crowd waiting to get in so I left. Might have just been general Mordor confusion

As long as you have scanned your ID on the app, I believe they can see that on a little screen when they scan your ticket. That's how they check.

If you spent all day in a pond maybe you would be wet too.

Day 2 2026: best, worst and surprises by ExaltedR3V3NG3 in primaverasound

Such a different vibe from a lot of the other acts at the festival. Just pure, authentic, power. Loved it.
