  1. There's a 'A Little Sole' gag in there if you do a bit of work for it.
  2. Vote for me to replace EE as chief booker. My first policy for a better today and brighter tomorrow? Don't let Primal Scream onsite ever again, let alone anywhere near a f**king stage. I'll lay good money it was Bobby f**king Gillespie who's responsible for editing that Wikipedia page.
  3. It's not as clear cut as I first reckoned. They're a very strong sub, no doubt, but an out and out copper-bottomed no-qualms headliner? Not so sure. Given that the demographic of Glastonbury skews towards that vintage, they might just swing it, but it's far from a guaranteed banker. Can see it being a bit of a damp squib amongst the wider attendees. The fans that like them, properly love them, but there are large swathes of people utterly indifferent/unaware of them, or who only know one song. Not sure I'd take the risk were I booking the festival.
  4. Yeah, lot of truth in this. I'd like it to be more exciting, with less dodgy guitar bands from 15 years ago, less Radio 2, less 2009 indie disco, less beige all round really. Kick out the jams motherf**kers, and the ditch the past glories.

    It's got a swing to it I like. The roll to go with the rock. It feels less measured, more free, spontaneous and experimentally joyful in places. I think that's my problem with the recent stuff. It feels a bit careful, like a beautifully rendered painting, when sometimes you want a bit of mess, a scribbling outside the lines.

    Can we retrospectively cancel Johnny Cash for singing about murder, please? And lets not have that nasty Nick Cave back for heaven's sake edited, damn - beaten to it by @M42

    My spicy take: Nocturama massively underrated in the NC canon.
  8. Suddenly this year's poster doesn't look so bad.

    Weather v Line up

    2016 way worse for than 2007 for me. I was 9 years older and didn't have the stamina, youthful exuberance and drugs to see me through in the same way. It seemed manageable in 2007, but 2016 was just brutal.
  10. From looking at that, saw 6 1/2 acts all weekend, with only 1 of those on Friday. f**k knows what we did for the rest of the 5 days.

    Weather v Line up

    Weather far and way the most important factor. A sunny afternoon with friends and I couldn't give a f**k what's playing. Could be a band I absolutely love playing 200m away, someone I've been looking forward to for months, a tantalising prospect ever since the poster dropped, but cold pints and laughter and I'll stick around.

    After this, I dug out Skeleton Tree this morning from the shelves and gave it another spin. Nope, definitely not for me. To the extent it might be going in the pile of albums I've got to go back to the record shop for a trade in.

    BBC very quiet

    Was on the sh*tty local radio station that the c**ts in my office insist that we listen to.

    Yeah, same here, I really haven't enjoyed the last three albums, Push the Sky Away onwards, so it's a decade or so since I've really been excited by him. But the new song has got me looking forward to the new record way more than I expected to. Still can't really get my head around him playing arenas though. Fair play, it's a decent payday, but just doesn't feel right.
  15. yeah, spot on, and this kind of thing has been happening in wave after wave of culture. The bobbysoxers, beatlemania, phone helplines for fans when boybands broke up in the 90s - there's nothing new here, really.
