A paparazzi who waits outside a bar for someone, thrusts a camera in their face and attacks their car claims justice for a drunk Jay Kay talking to him like a dickhead by smashing his head into the man's face... What a gratifying tale. What better gratification can you get than physically assaulting someone?

I grew up watching Spider-Man, Batman and The Powerpuff Girls cartoons and playing Zelda; do you expect me to not believe in violent retribution or something?

And really the narrative there is rich arsehole tries to use his status to intimidate ordinary working schmuck; working class hero uses the limited resources available to him to overcome oppression. It appeals to me on quite a lot of levels.

It was brutal, smashed his helmet to bits. Poor fella, no one deserves that

Finally got round to listening to "Awaken, My Love!" and thought it was absolutely unreal. 
Had a quick search for any tour dates but looks like he's only doing Governors Ball so far. Any chance?

Apropros of nothing, but that PPG episode that's just all Beatles references is fucking ace.

DJ Format hitting the road with Abdominal in May to support a new record that's out in April. Welcome news for old school DJ Format fans.

If Format did turn up at Glasto you could conceivably see him playing all over the place. He's previously released records that cover hip-hop, psych, Latin, 60's rock and a few things in between. Here's hoping.

The 1975's rearranged European dates basically rule them out, not that they'd realistically have been back anyway

Halfway down other or JP sub/maybe headliner same as Ash?

Same as Ash seven years ago?

Wouldn't Skunk Anansie be a Left Field headliner nowadays? Don't really see them appearing on a main stage.

Skunk Anansi - Hell Stage 1am?

I'd be all over this like a fat lad on chips.

Daytime West Holts similar to Deltron 3000 a couple of years back would be my guess.

I know who's won the day.

From NME -

Haim also dropped a big hint about future festival plans, putting out a call and response to Emily Eavis by saying: “We can’t wait to get back to the UK! Glaston-buuuur-aaay! We just wanna play!” 
 

[The Nal]

Shes still working. All fingers crossed.
