Friday
Highlights
1) Karen O's two-tone tights
2)Richard Hawley- best singer all weekend and dedicated a song to Grant McLennan
3) Catching Sleater-Kinney soundchecking by accident
4) The Flaming Lips. One huge rock'n'roll kids party. Balloons, streamers,puppets and fancy dress. And they played all the hits. Fantastic.
Lowlights
1) Richard Hawley vs. the Dance tent (or Shit tent as he so eloquently put it)
2)Sleater-Kinney's soundcheck being their best performance of the night
3)Flaming Lips finishing with "War Pigs". Nice sentiment but a real anti-climax.

Yes, definitely Richard Hawley and the amazing Flaming Lips show were two of the highlights of the festival.

Never mind. There´s always next year . . .
Jordi, you've pre-empted my Saturday list. But being the completist I am...
