ELO could plausibly have been expected to be a good fun singalong, I guess. But then the performance was a bit flat & the audience soaking wet & exhausted from four days of mud. π

Might be the festival have decided to reset expectations for the βLegendsβ slot somewhat. As has previously been discussed on here, theyβre running out of upbeat megastar acts, with a 30+ year history of hits, who are willing to take a Sunday afternoon slot vs fully headliningβ¦

Bit like other previous comments, I donβt hate Coldplayβ¦ I just donβt find them very interesting. π€·ββοΈ Also a little bemused at just how big & successful they are - clearly thereβs a massive audience for what theyβre doing. For me there have been many more exciting, more talented bands over the past 25 years whoβve not gone on to become worldwide stadium-selling-out megastars. Are Coldplay really better, or did they just get lucky? Mind you, although I find them dull, I can appreciate theyβve worked damn hard, put on a great show & donβt seem to take their fans for granted. Thatβs more than many artists do & maybe explains their success after all. Tangential question Iβve always wondered: are Coldplay anyoneβs absolute favourite band?

Hah, thatβs exactly what Macclesfield Festival up the road from us was. Could hear it from our house - to be fair sounded like they were pretty good cover bands. But Iβd far rather they created a platform for new local bands playing original songs.

I was looking at the diesel generator/floodlights at Bluedot last weekend and thinking surely we canβt be too far away from having battery stations for them instead? Whack a solar panel on top for a bit of trickle charging, LED lights to minimise usage and Iβm sure you could get a weeks worth of night time illumination from the same size trailer. Probably just a matter of cost & replacing the huge number of diesel generator/floodlight units already out there. Prob a while off powering the whole Pyramid off batteries though. π

π Not usually considered a festival essential, but each to their own.

Gosh. Were you stood next to us? π

Thanks - good to know. π

Itβs happened often enough you have to question whether itβs really accidental! I donβt really want to spoil it but not sure Iβm gonna be able to avoid accidentally seeing who it is before the film is outβ¦

My brother worked for a long time as an engineer for JCB and had a branded van for tools etc. One year in the 90s he blagged his way in one of the vehicle gates no less by claiming he was there on an urgent maintenance call out for some of the on site machinery π Pretty sure that wouldnβt work these days!

I dunno, possibly thereβs a βsafeβ way to do it - like with phones putting an alternative contact number as the lock screen background. π€·ββοΈ Keen to learn any lessons that might help me get lost stuff back in future.
-
Yeah, itβs very much just personal taste - as Iβve got older Iβve lost my tolerance for extreme violence in media. My teenage self would think Iβm completely pathetic. π
-
How did they link it back to your partner - did they report it missing with a description & they found it? Or were they able to identify the owner somehow from the device itself? Would be useful info for future π

I loved the irreverence of the concept & how it totally deconstructs superhero tropes, but gave up after season 1. The level of gratuitous ultraviolence just got too much for me.

What a shame for one of his last ever shows! π

Out of curiosity, how come it was so bad?

Glastonbury 2022 - overcrowding rumours & thoughts
jimmillen replied to WheresMyTent's topic in Chat
Bluedot yesterday also seemed pretty good. Portaloos, but they were being kept clean - even had toilet paper provided! -
Was right up the front for that, it was phenomenal. π

The history of mens fashion is quite interesting. Itβs only relatively recently that flamboyance, bright colours, indulgence, even makeup has become coded as feminine. Around the 17th, 18th century in particular the nobility & gentlemen around town were fancy AF. I mean, look at this dude π

Hey, I got that reference! π Now, where's my towel...?

Third album will be critical. Future Nostalgia was an absolute banger-fest and set seriously high standards. I'm hopeful that DL3 lives up to it and she goes from strength to strength having been a fan since I first saw her low down at the JPT in 2016 π She's also got to be one of the hardest working pop stars around! But I don't think her back catalogue & current success nails her on as a future headliner in the same way that, say, Taylor is. Popularity can go down as well as up...

No excuses for assholes, aye.
