    Hi
    I was at the Oxegen Festival last weekend and it was awesome :cool:

    But does anyone who went there know what the first and second songs sung by Manu Chao were called ?

    The Strokes and Feeder were THE best
    ( my opinion so don't worry about it too much! )

    I thought Manu Chao was excellent, bit disappointed they didn't play Bongo bong though.

    That was quite useful actually ;)
    I thought it was one long song before, but that meant it was around one hour long!

    wasnt there but heard robbie fecking williams is doing a cover of king of the bongo (bongo bong) AHHHHHHHH!

    was he playing with his band (ie a shyte loada people on stage roaring and hopping off instruments?) - saw him once in the point - he was unreal. Anyone who liked him like this, his albums are totally chilled out, apart from his "Radio Bemba" album, which just has that crazy live fast feelgood stuff on it.

    yeah! It was first time I heard of them, and I didn't think I would be into that type of music

    My only problem was that all songs just sounded the same. But it was great to dance and go crazy to. If he was to play a festival, Id easily go see him, but at his own gig, Id possibly skip

    there was a guy behind me with dread locks doing some manic hippie dance, very entertaining altogether!

    Anyone know if they're gonna come back to Eire?
