OVERHEARD AT SPLENDOUR

 

Words by Ash Kissane

To procrastinate further from writing my Splendour in the Grass review from my death bed, here are some things I overheard over the weekend that I just found on my phone.

              •   “Who’s James Blake?”

  ”I know a guy whose brother went to school with Flume.”

             •   “Of Monsters and Men can eat a dick.”

   In the ten year line for wristbands; “This is what it’s like to be a boat person.”

  •   ”Frank Ocean pulled out, but I think.. I think Daft Punk will replace him.”

   Everyone during What So Not’s second set – “Flume’s fucked.”

             •  ”James Blake would be so good in bed”                   – “He could do so many things at once.”

             •   Helping a stranger out; “Your hair is on fire” – “Yeah, it’s darker” – “No, on fire.”
