Mind blowing decisions

The Belgian festival season is in full swing, creating some wonderful dilemnas about what to do of a weekend. Today, for instance, do I take the train down to Bruges to catch Buffalo Tom, (Canada's favourite TM) The Tragically Hip and Gnarls Barkley? (The Cactus Festival also offers the chance to throw bottles of piss and shout 'get back to your Berkeley drum circle' at the risible Groundation).Or do I stay here in Brussels and go to one or both of the two free music fests on offer: Klinkende Munt in the New Grain Market - mongrel ('Zinneke' in Brussels dialect) sounds from the likes of local band Millenniums and dub legend Mad Professor with Turkey's Baba Zulu; or the Brosella folk festival in Laeken, featuring Eliza Carthy, Clannad's Moya Brennan and The Wicker Band, a group formed especially to bring the soundtrack of Scottish pagan horror classic 'The Wicker Man' back to life! Choices, choices.
