they dont usually share headliners do they? so we can forget about the utter blandness that is foo fighters, kings of leon and kasabian then.

This is indeed a great day!

Blandness?? Did you not suggest S.F.A, Doves, and Elbow as headliners the other day?

Yep. Along with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Flaming Lips and Arcade Fire.

You think they all put out bland music?

[tonyblair]

Nick Cave's pretty bland, in his way

really? how so?

out of that list of bands you pick on nick cave as being the bland one?? How peculiar.

If you listen to the albums most songs sound the same as you go along.
Dont see much in the way of frontmen either, more geography teachers than Liam Gallagher, very beige

I think Liam is a brilliant front man but he is nowhere near as charismatic and exciting as Nick.  To call Nick Cave "bland" is to make it obvious to everyone that you don't know what the word means so I thought I would help you out:

Bland adjective 1 having a mild flavour rather a strong one. 2 gentle and casual; not irritating or stimulating

There is surely little gentle or casual about a tall, skinny man in a three-piece suit screaming, whispering, bellowing and crooning about murder, suffering, love and sex. And if you don't find Nick Cave stimulating then surely you wouldn't have formed an opinion worth sharing with the rest of the world about him.  At worst, you've made it clear that you find him a little irritating, proving he is not bland.

To be fair out of that list he isn't the bland one. Elbow and Doves maybe (not that I hate them at all just they're just more bland thean Nick Cave).

I was just thinking I'm preferring the IOW line up, especially with Coldplay et al for Glasto.
Not sure I'm telling someone who thinks the flaming lips aint bland. Last time I saw them all smoke and mirrors and no substance

OR we might get better other stage headliners to blanace out the boring main stage headliners  
eg -flaming lips vs what would have been u2

it's his blandness that bores me

I don't give him enough time to get perticularly irritated. But when I do happen upon him, all that revelling in murder and suffering sounds more juvenile than anything

and the music is boring... so so boring
