True dat
My 'Glastonbury moment' was finding out about mooncups in the Green Fields, and it being turned into an insult for the rest of the weekend
"Oh you fucing mooncup"
You make some good points certainly vis a vis the line up
On efestivals I read people saying "There should eb a headliner for the youngsters" - what so you'd turn down one of Neil Young or Bruce Springsteen for Snow atrol. Sod that. If the youngsters don't like either of those two acts they're fucking tasteless.
I go to Glastonbury because it's an incredible place and you know there'll be bands on to watch. To the guy who said who can say they are going for the line up - errrr no one, since it's announced after the tickets sell out!
But since you mention it, Shakey, The Boss, Blur? Yes, I am going for the music. And it's going to be fucking awesome
YYY are low placed because they're playing in like Austria the next day
I doubt Neil Young will hook up with CSN because he's playing Hard Rock Calling on the Saturday night
A Camden coctail
It would contain incense, the innards of a cyberdog glow stick and gross chicken noodles from 'noodle alley' where you get verbally assaulted by the chinese vendors.
It would be served in one of those punks with sings' DM and called "skunkweedhash"
I went to this too!
HoL was the best.
Tim Wheeler was rubbish.
Free JD RULES
I was looking on the PSN the othe day
and there was a Coldplay song pack. I mean seriously, who would ever download that?
I downloaded a Dropkick Murphy's pack because it was free LOL
In the High Holbron LSE residences
The big orangey building
Do you know I lived opposite the End for a year
but I've never been
QOTSA were awful
Rage slayed
Ahhh
it's in the middle
QOTSA were rubbish
I was really disappointed.
RAGE WERE TEH AWESOME
Wasn't it post Roskilde
put all heavy bands on during daylight?
I thought it was a reference
to Bowman's description of them on the Glastonbury coverage
McCain has two Abba songs
Maybe his opposition to same sex marriage is bourne out of resentment of a life he wasn't allowed to lead?
Bastards!
Because of my barbecue plans I will miss NATW and Howling Bells
GODDMAN IT
If you can buy tickets I am all over that shit
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH
Wow, BSP make their worst album and it gets nominated
for a Mercury. Figures
Same set as the o2 last night
I have never seen so many people hanging on someone's every word as I did when he did A Thousand Kisses Deep
so excited!
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
It really annoys me when reviewers seem to think
That wishing death on musicians is some how big and funny and makes them look cool.
His comments were amazing
'"I can't believe eveyone's saying Glastonbury was good it was rubbish", said Tom who neither performed nor atteneded the festival'
EPIC FAIL
The Nazis didn't siege Stalingrad, they were BEsieged in it.
They did however besiege Leningrad for close to 2 years
Benicassim in 2006 was a nightmare
Our flight into Valencia was delayed an hour. Get there to buy our coach tickets. There was one lady there who didn't speak great English. This was at 10pm. She informed us there was only one more bus that night and it was at 1am.
So we had to sit there for 3 hours, and then there wasn't enough space, and only by pure luck as someone got thrown off did I manage to get on it. Cab would've basically been the end of my festival if I'd had to have got it on my own - like 200 euro.
On the way back we were leaving a day later than the masses seemed to be. So I went to the train station to check it out. It was carnage. A gigantic queue to get onto the platform and all trains to Barcalona and Valencia sold out. A mass of people stood around crying because their pre booked coach to Barca airport was 4 hours late and they'd all missed their flights and people agreeing to pay 500 euro for taxis to Valencia.
As such the next day we caught a bus at like 6am to Valenica airport. We were bored witless at the airport for about 6 hours, but it was worth it
We were on the road in 5 minutes
Left at 9am
^ this
One of my favourite bands
Me
When I watch Encore on youtube and hear his little speech I get goosebumps
Yeah, but that's because all the Guardian comments
Are 40 year old cunts who live in Hampstead going, "Well I first heard rap in Blondie's Rapture and Jay Z just doesn't hold a candle to it"
"Yeah, well I listened to De La Soul once and I think it's silly to even compare Jay Z to what TRUE hip hop is about"
ad nauseum
Really?
On the Wireless site they're down as 10 to 6.
But I'd love to see them with Wiley again, and their set at Glasto was bitching
Wasn't Putin's
"I am adequately pleased he is playing"
Hmmm if I can off work early enough to see Hot Chip too
I might just do it
Also I think I clocked you
by the Pyramid field on Thursday. I was going to say hello, but I didn't want to be all "HI I'M FROM DER INTERNETZ" as no one wins with that
I tempted to see him again
It was SO good
Yep, he's a loser with a fuckton of money
an unbelievably fit wife and has just played a gig to about 90,000 people that everyone is raving about.
Yep, sucks to be him.
And it wasn't social commentary, it was a tongue in cheek pop at how over the top all the talk of him playing had gone.
And he will have had to have paid to use the Beatle's music, and since they love money I doubt they have a problem with it.
Seriously dude, you lost this one. You can fight Noel's battles for him another day.
Why lol?
It was what happened. I know he had a dig at your lover but Noel's a big boy, he can stand up for himself
This video comes up
The screen looks like it's breaking. Then it goes to Noel G's interview about how Jay Z shouldn't be there and hip hop had no place at Glasto. Cue a load of recut vids of world leaders, celebs and people in the street reacting to the "outrage" (my fave was Chavez with the subtitle "It's an outrage he's playing!"). Then he came on with Wonderwall playing and got the crowd to sing it. Then everyone was going "JAY Z! JAY Z! JAY Z!". Then he went "I only got one thing to say.................IF YOU HAVING GIRL PROBLEMS I FEEL BAD FOR YOU SON" and everyone went mental
No effort, no energy, all over the shop
I left and went to watch Holy Fuck instead
I said it already
But the opening ten minutes of Jay Z's set was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Just before he come on I was worried how everyone would react, but he didn't get where he is today by not knowing how to play a crowd. He absolutely nailed it.
They were fucking awful at Glastonbury
So much so it's put me off listening to them again
I thought they were stunning
And even though I should, I actually don't give a shit they didn't play too many of the 'hits' what they played was jaw dropping and I have to saw, I now consider them indisputably the best band in the world, when 8 years ago I couldn't stand them
O'Reilly can fuck off and die
The man adds nothing to humanity
