  1. Today
  2. Gonna be absolutely rammed this one. Hopefully he pops up around a few other stages as well.

    No it wouldn't - Silver Hayes is literally listed as Group D which allows those hours.
  4. what are people's views on the new football regulator? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68602074 looks to me like an opening for someone i don't agree with to force their views onto football.
  5. Previous "local" ticket buyers - when booking and you select the batch of tickets allocated to locals, where are they checking to make sure you live there? Is it your postal address on Ticketmaster, your credit card address or something else? Ours do not match, one is in LU1, the other isn't! Does anyone have experience? Thanks!
  6. It's great that trump can't get a bond.its also great how such a rich billionaire can't pay it himself.
  7. Seems like Twigs is entering her rave/hyper pop era - it sounds good:

    while those like you are too busy chuckling within your own smugness - you didn't even notice corbyn's despicable history, or the compromises he made to try to try to achieve power, he was fatally flawed from the off because his history [which you still haven't acknowledged]. people like me, learned the lesson of michael foot, will you learn the lesson and call out the inevitable next stupid generation, when the same problem comes round again)
  9. Blair came to power at a time when the global economy was going gang busters and ramped up the public spending and everyone had a nice few years. Unfortunately it was all smoke and mirrors, funding profligate current account spending and ineffective reforms by flogging off assets and PFI and now you have little to show for it. Had they won in 2010, alastair darling was committed to austerity promised greater and deeper ’swingeing cuts’ than the tories. Philosophically there is a fag paper’s difference between Blair and Cameron. And now their heirs Starmer and Reeves reaffirm this time and again in both words and deeds but for some reason people have decided that they shall disbelieve what Starmer and Reeves say and do and instead hold on to some odd fiction that they are secret radicals. Presumably because they are at least nominally still ’Labour’ and the association of that brand with doing good things has still not completely died.. yet. I predict another decade of austerity, underfunded public services, paternalistic authoritarianism and overseas interventionism. But dont say I didnt warn you!
  10. I knew plenty. Those songs are over 40 years old and he's been making music continuously. Cars sounds very out of place with most of his more recent output. He next tour is to celebrate Replicas and Pleasure Principle though so he will be doing all the old stuff. He is absolutely stunning live. I think most at Bearded were taken back by how heavy his music is. It's been very industrial for quite sometime now.

    that's you for ever about corbyn - including "corbyn's labour", and now you about abbot too!

    if they don't want that battle, the likes of abbott and corbyn (I'm unsure about others) only have to take the simple steps they've been asked to take. if those leftist MP's are too stupid to remain as labour MPs that's their issue.

    cfriend of mine has just qualified in BSL 🙂
  14. That argument does stand actually. Sorry.
  15. As someone who was born in 1977 and lived through Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron and the whole cavalcade of c**ts that followed him it’s very easy to be enthusiastic about Starmer. I was 11 when Thatcher left. I was 20 when Blair got in. I was 33 when Cameron got in. I know the f**king difference.
  16. Yesterday
  17. Is this all the bands for the fest announced now?
  18. A layperson in this context is someone has no training in music and/or is not familiar with music theory. I was hoping to get an overall picture of what music you already know so I can suggest things that you don't know. Since I don't have that, I will try my best. Let's go: The bands you mentioned fall under rock or pop-rock so I will give one "modern" act that falls under the label of rock and then one "old" act that has nothing to do with rock music. ------------------------ Style Adjacent Act: Polyphia Short Listening: Ego Death, Playing God Longer Listening: Remember that You Will Die Notes: this act belongs to what we could call mgm or millennial guitar music. It describes a family of styles that take inspiration from djent, bepop, neo-soul and math rock among others to create what is often called "virtuoso playing" where there is strong emphasis on technique, complex riff and avoiding your everyday chords. Mgm focuses on technique and artistry over convention and tradition and most of the time the musical pieces have no lyrics. Also, often the artists don't fall in specific genres as their music doesn't fully fit established styles. Similar artists in this nebulous family are Mateus Asato, Animals As Leaders, Ichika Nito and Manuel Gardner. I am just a fan boy but I think they represent a new era in the way modern guitar music is made that breaks away from late 20th century electric guitar music. Non-Style Adjacent Act: Buena Vista Social Club Short Listening: Chan Chan, Candela Longer Listening: Buena Vista Social Club Notes: an album of traditional Cuban music. It became the poster child of a revival in traditional Cuban music after it faded away at the dawn of rock music. Nothing else to add. I thought I would give something more out there (assuming you are mostly familiar with late 20th century rock music).
  19. I know folks are desperate for something other than tory rule but how do you manage to just ignore everything Starmer’s Labour say and do and make up your own version of who they are? In a decade or so, the only thing that will remain of another lacklustre New Labour govt will be another insufferable odd couple podcast with Starmer and David Cameron chuckling their way through wacky political anecdotes and into the hearts of centrist dads everywhere, their despicable records long since forgotten.
  20. Big durbs

    gully and sonic ( both from silverhayes ) are supposed to be shut , maybe they got around this by re-naning them ( levels and lonely hearts )
  21. Does Glastonbury feel a need to make one of the headliners American? I don’t want to go all ‘British first’, but I do think they should have had the balls to put home grown Little Simz on instead of SZA. She’s six albums in, a Mercury and Brit winner, got five star reviews for her Ally Pally shows literally everywhere (from the NME to the FT). She has already proved herself headlining West Holts. And she’s already booked for the Pyramid. Emily Eavis was even at the Ally Pally show - how can she have walked away from that show and not thought “wow - that is a Pyramid headliner” (or maybe that was her thought followed by “if only she was American”). It was the second best concert I went to last year. The best was Sault - and she stole the show in that!
  22. Was hoping they’d be Pyramid. Way too big for Avalon these days and feel like they’ve played it before but could be wrong. They’re playing Bristol on the Thursday night so hopefully they’ll play somewhere.
  23. Then please stop bemoaning women being given an equal chance, which is all the festival are doing. EE has been quite clear of the structural problems she faced that prevented female acts getting a foot in the door - https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/emily-eavis-glastonbury-booking-culture-male-sexist-headliners-a8845991.html
  24. What at Glasto? Can’t see him doing anything else with MK Bowl to sell out tbh.
  25. Does it not just come under Silver Hayes in the group D venues? And thus able to run till 3am?
  26. I don't get This cult of Jarvis Cocker.... yeah there good but not that good it's like every year please let pulp headline 😂😂 personally I think band's like Depeche Mode,,, the cure a lot of band's agis mentioned should have been on this year's poster... definitely should be more 80s,,90s music but you don't know what is yet to come out...
