  1. Words of encouragement for my folks! (and any other newbie 'senior' festival-goers out there!)

    I love this thread!

    2013 will be the first Glastonbury for me (40) and my son (21). We didn't plan it to be just the two of us, but nobody else we know managed to get tickets (and they didn't give me their registration numbers because they thought they knew better).

    I feel very fortunate that my son is happy to spend five days with his mum and while I'm sure we will do our own thing at times we share very similar tastes in music, humour and life in general.

    I hope we're still doing Glasto together in 25 years!

    Don't bother with a growler , there are many better options.

    Don't camp in pennards

    Don't feel the need to arrive as soon as the gates open

    Take an old phone or one with a long battery life

    Try to park as near to where you camp as pos

    Make your tent comfortable

  8. Albums from start to finish

    single albums that have 2 discs, examples:

    Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness

    Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

    The Beatles - White Album

    The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St.

    obviously two (arguably three) of those i've just mentioned are fucking fantastic classics, but RHCP's is an example of pure shite. i mean, RHCP can't even fill a single disc with great songs these days so the gaw they had of thinking they could fill two discs is ridiculous. Biffy Clyro recently released a double album which is another example of 'really?'

    on the subject of album length, double albums are a thing that annoy me quite a bit. bar a few, what double album wouldn't have been ten times better if it'd been condensed down into a single album!? most bands seem to get to a point in their career - their peak usually. just released their most successful album maybe - where they release a double album and they're usually overlong, bloated, full of filler, and just too much

    filling up one single disc is often too much but filling up TWO discs in one album. silly

    Also, I thinkyou got two different things going on, on one hand the idea that the album is dead and the other, more pressing problem is that bands think that they have to fill a CD up with 60 mins plus of music. Give me a shortish perfect paced album, 30-45 minutes.

    Interesting stuff, Fatyeti. Though the Stones are amongst the priciest, the cost of tickets is ridiculous across the board. You would hope that fans of other bands also refuse to pay the obscene prices. Maybe a change is coming.

    The Stones' bare faced greed may be backfiring on them. Good.

    So you and russy look down on people who go to the festival purely to have fun, party and listen to music?

    What exactly do you do when you're there? Is it much different to above?

    ...but at least your sensible enough to know your view isn't the only one and it isn't the only one that counts. Loads of idiots these days don't!
