I work in Bootle, equal Liverpool and Everton fans, a small splattering of Utd fans and one City fan who sits opposite me. All in all it's a weird dynamic, same across the city too. Everton fans are obsessed with Liverpool, they seem to enjoy a Liverpool defeat more than their own team winning. Liverpool fans see their main rivals as Utd. Everton are so far behind us, they are of very little concern apart from the derby. General feeling is beating Utd is better, losing to Everton is worse. City are just the new Chelsea. An irrelevance. Their financially doped team will probably dominate for years but they're still just a small club with a few quid.

Iggy Pop played Mik Artistic a couple of weeks ago. It's a sign!

This is the last full set setlist I can find, it probably won't differ much to this unless they bring out a new album and swap some of the less well known stuff out. As long as they keep King Contrary Man, I'll be a happy bunny: Wild Flower Rain Dark Energy Lil' Devil Peace Dog Rise Nirvana Birds of Paradise Deeply Ordered Chaos The Phoenix Sweet Soul Sister She Sells Sanctuary Fire Woman Encore: King Contrary Man G O A T Love Removal Machine

I think some have been used on adverts so you'd probably recognise them from that if nothing else. I think Lil' Devil was the last Easyjet advert! Give Pure Cult a listen, it's the singles from 84 to 95 and matches a good chunk of their setlist.

Love Removal Machine, Rain, Lil' Devil, Phoenix, Sweet Soul Sister?

Oo.. I didn't know that. I've been hammering his latest album since he was announced, love it.

Big up to the teenage metalheads pretending to hate everything else. Happy days.

I've got it and I don't know it.

There's a Twitter account that gained many followers by pointing out gammon behaviour. A while ago it tweeted that there was no real music any more, not like there used to be. I responded that it was a gammonesque tweet and they blocked me.

I love the line up this year, definitely better than last. Two headliners I'm really looking forward to seeing and one (Suede) that I'm sure I'll enjoy if they don't clash. Horses for courses and all that.

It's going to be up there with Emeli Sandé and the Chris Martin Supergroup.

Birkenhead.

Also playing The Pyramids earlier in the year.
