What the ****'s going on you ****s? No annual Glastonbury thread?

I've quite enjoyed it. A list of highlights for me (watched from TV and BBC website of course, I'm not actually ****ing there!).

Sleaford Mods
Young Fathers
Caribou
Father John Misty
Alabama Shakes
Wolf Alice
Vintage Trouble

I watched about half of Kanye. I don't really like his stuff, and found him to be moderately entertaining until he descended into auto-tune dronings for about 10 full minutes. At that point I swtiched over to Suede, who were alright to be honest.

I'm not watching The Who. No interest.
 
I watched these two weird black blokes screaming/rapping for about 2 minutes. One was dancing like he was having an Eppy. ****e.

Saw a bit of Kanye-****e

I think cos its Glasto and we are all supposed to love every genre nowadays its all great but its not. Some reet ****e.

Oh did see Florence she's good.

I'm not there either.

The Missus likes Kanye, so it was on.

I watched the first ten minutes of his set, then slunk off to bed irritated.

And read me book.


It wasn't Kanye who irritated me. I just categorise him as one of the many people earning a living by making music I don't particularly appreciate.

Fair play to him.


It was the audience.

Young, over-privileged, middle class white girls all sat on their boyfriends shoulders singing along word perfectly to some meaningless American drivel, which holds no cultural or social links to their thoughtless existences.


They reminded me of this cutting lyric by a band who don't play Glastonbury any more because it's lost sight of it's roots.

You call Glastonbury “Glasto”
You’d like to go there one day
When they’ve put up the gun towers
To keep the hippies away


VIP area.
Luxury yurts.
Toilets!

Point well and truly missed.

Watched 4 seconds of Kanye before realising what the **** I was doing and switched to Suede. Kanye's ****ing ****e.

I thought that when the someone invaded the stage it was great poetic justice for the ****.

Florence was alright. The Libertines who were on before her were pretty good.

The Charlatans were as great as ever too.
 
I've seen so many Facebook updates from mates this weekend, I feel like I've been there.

I'm sure I've never had this many mates there before.

I said I'd go with my daughter this year, but I bottled it having decided that I only do en-suite nowadays, I'm glad I did.
 
All this makes me want to do is spend even more money on albums.

I'm at the stage where I will take a day trip to another city just to see if their HMV stocks more Sonic Youth CDs than Hull or York.

I always look forward to watching it on the beeb but on Friday I looked at the running order and couldn't find any bands I liked. I usually find something but turned it of and went to you tube music for my fix of fast and energetic music. Then on Saturday that there Kenya bloke kept telling us he was the worlds best !! from what I saw he kept cocking it up. I guess its an age thing but I wait to see if Sunday is any better. For me it needed some bands like TDCC or the early Editors stuff.
 
I don't doubt that there's a very upper middle class feel to the event, but I'm not actually there and am more than happy to watch a load of acts on the box who I Iike, or new stuff I've not heard before.

I couldn't attend a three day music festival on hygiene grounds in any case.

Weller should be good tonight, even if he only plays solo stuff (which is likely, but as it is Glastonbury he might play a couple of Jam songs)

Saturns Pattern is a good album, his best in recent years.

Agreed, it's a superb LP, which is a relief really, as I thought the last one(Sonic Kiicks) was a bit ****.
