Paranoid band void: Glastonbury dismiss Radiohead's green no-show

punderful

whatever next.

annoying train station to get to from Street

Radiohead, and other bands, appearing at Glastonbury/Reading wherever mean that when they tour after that, I say "it's OK, I saw them at the festivals". For one thing most of us only have so much money to go round.

One band travelling to one festival probably prevents thousands of people travelling to attend tour dates. Surely?

...they can take one of those lovely 25,000-bearing coaches. That's right, they can pay an inordinately large amount of money to a corrupt ticketing monopoly that won't bother organising a return coach for them. They can wait for said, no-show coach for seven hours, overnight, in the pouring rain. They can collapse with hypothermia, regain conciousness only to be dumped outside in the same ol' sh*t four hours later. They can take the buses c.1920 to Castle Cary station, by which stage the red cross has to take them to the platform in a wheelchair. They can then be put on a train going the wrong way (i.e. up rather than down as that's about all you can do at Castle Cary) by the brains of Britain conductor. Bitter?
Moi?!
Best festival in the UK, worst transport arrangments in the developped world.

apparently nothing happened today.

With Radiohead widely rumoured to be playing Glasto this year what better way to misdirect attention than to create a bizarre side story suggesting issues between the two. Don't fret guys, just a ruse to distract attention from the main story ie 1) are they available in June - YES 2) are they going to play Glasto this year? (bearing in mind they played V Festival, a mere shadow of glasto with no issues in 2006) - YES

So bypass the fluff, and get to the jumper!
