Sonar 2006

[Eikman]

Line-up got announced today on the official site. Seems to me like they got rid of the really big names and some of the indiebands. looks good to me, despite the fucking expensive tickets (130€!!).

anyway, i suppose i'm travelling down to sunny Barcelona for the third year in a row. anyone else?
