It's the principle. I wouldn't shit in the crowd either.

Yeh. I don't think I'd shit in the crowd either...but I'd say that's slightly different. I've never done this myself, but if I saw someone trying to discretely piss into a Lenor bottle in the crowd (cos they're blatantly bursting and dont want to have to leave their spot/mates), I'd think fair play for not being one of those tossers who'd do it in a cup and chuck it, or leave it on the floor. If they're successful, who cares? We all need to piss.

I did about 4 hours in the pit for Foals and Muse this year. Drink vodka instead of cans and you won't need to piss.

Looks it's time to start listening to AMSP properly!

 I'm not trying to convince you to piss in a bottle for my own satisfaction by the way! Each to their own! Hope you don't piss yer self though me old tate!

I feel the same. But I'm pretty sure it'll still be highly disappointing.

I couldn't tell you one song from The National. 

Is this OK?

I'd probably know some tunes.

No. Go and listen to Boxer and Alligator. STAT.

Would rather drink it than hang around for two hours watching some bollox I wasn't interested in though. 

I'll save you some.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. If he feels up to touring next year, I can't see Glastonbury not being on the cards. Radiohead sub would be apt.

 

Of course, perfectly understandable if he doesn't tour. Skeleton Tree is one of the most emotionally crippling albums I've heard. Beautiful but devastating.

^ Following advice like this is why I didn't get into The National for years. Listen to High Violet and Trouble Will Find Me. Some decent tracks off Boxer, Alligator is rubbs.

So did anything happen this evening in regards to the bear face? No announcement or anything?

yeah they were announced - we're all just being really cool and chilled about it

(but seriously no, they didn't finish the mouth and nothing more happened)

Thanks dude. Always up for new tunes. Pretty certain there'll be tracks I know but didn't realise it was them. Thanks for the recommendations!

Will the zig-zag mouth fit in? Doesn't look like it on close inspection. Or is that just the Glastocam angle?

Unbelievable. Sometimes lawn you just spout Gazza-type rubbish. It took me ages to realise alligator was good, and when it first came out I thought high violet was the best but boxer has always been ace. Go revisit alligator. It's brilliant. How can any album with Mr November, Karen, lit up, all the wine and Abel on it be rubbish. You damn fool. 

High violet not quite as good as alligator or boxer. 

Yup, Alligator is my #1

Abel, ok. Mr November, no good.

Was a fan of the Bends and part of OK Computer, their more commercial sounding stuff. What's the closest recent album to get into before Glastonbury? 

After deciding to miss them and watch Dodgy a few days later at the Kidderminster Market Tavern in 1992 I have never seen them since and want to watch them at Glasto but don't want to be one of those who stand there bored waiting for a couple of classics. Plenty of time to get into them more.

In Rainbows, A Moon Shaped Pool. 

The paragraph about Dodgy and Kiddyminster went all blurry and I couldn't read it.

In Rainbows is probably their other more commercial one along with the two you mentioned so i'd start with that - they still seem to be playing a fair few songs from it on this tour. and of course give their new album a go as they'll play heavily from it, it's quite easy to get in to and is very good

[CHRLY]

Isn't Abel this forum's favourite National song? Utter scandal from you, LAWN.

... Karen is better though.

I can't imagine him playing anything off Skeleton Key live. Which is a bummer because it's an amazing album, but also completely understandable. 

I just don't see how it would fit into a normal setlist. Imagine 'I need you' followed by 'Jack the Ripper'.

Kidderminster is indeed dodgy.

Stourbridge isn't much better...
