    The Nextmen !!!!

    Recommended? Not familiar with them.

    Overall it don't look bad at a first pass.  Probably the first time that the headliners across main and big top haven't really grabbed me at all, but plenty there to keep us going.  Shame that both Saw Doctors and Richard Hawley are on Friday as it's left Saturday looking a wee bit bare.

    Need to have a proper run through, but lower down the card does look interesting.  As I said to my brother, I don't think we'll find ourselves short of things to keep us occupied between visits to the cider bars and food stalls 😄

    Depeche Mode historically seem to have form for missing hits out. But if they were happy to actually play a straight bat, they'd be a slam dunk triumph.

    Every drunk uncle and aunt at a wedding loves Just Can't Get Enough. Ultimate encore party starter, right there.

    Hands up to say I pretty much can't stand that song 😂

    Yeah, it's not exactly an obvious winner.

    Split it with six of the new ones, four Oasis, four Stone Roses and four LG solo to date, and you can probably get away with it.

    Raise Your Hands
    Mars to Liverpool
    Morning Glory
    4 Wall of Glass
    5 This Is the One
    6 I'm a Wheel
    Just Another Rainbow
    Once
    Slide Away
    10 More Power
    11 Made of Stone
    12 You're Not the Only One
    13 Diamond in the Dark
    14 She Bangs the Drums
    15 Live Forever

    16 Mother Nature's Song
    17 I Am the Resurrection
    18 Champagne Supernova

    The thought of Liam singing Made of Stone and Resurrection is bringing me out in hives.

    New Camera Obscura, finally! 😃 Album May 3:

     

    Oh nice.  I only discovered (for me at least) them recently, replayed the listening party for Let's Get Out Of This Country as I knew the name but they'd completely passed me by.

  5. Been a busy few weeks so not kept up to speed with posting, so going to hit y'all with a bit of a flurry.  All been getting a lot of airplay chez Quark

    English Teacher

    Beren Olivia - never heard of her before she popped up on Radio 1 Future Sounds. Surprised by how much I like this one, a lot poppier than I'd usually go for

    Jesus and Mary Chain ahead of new album in March

     Charlatans' new one is a doozy

    And last one, some decent pop-punk from Swim School. On tour atm, worth catching.

    I’ll store this in my head for future use. I’m in Sussex but will travel many miles if it’s for great pie.

  7. It's quite niche but just discovered the Prancing Pony podcast. 2 guys going through Tolkien's works chapter by chapter and just talking about what interests them, the language and Tolkien in general. Starts with The Silmarilion so it's probably one for the purists 😂

  8. Had time to listen to that Gallagher / Squire song more. Novelty has worn off now. It's a bit sh*t.

    Tbh the initial guitar sound from Squire drew me in, but not much after that.

    Bill Ryder-Jones’ new one is superb - it’s getting excellent reviews too across the board too. 

    Listening to this atm, it's lurvely

  10. Are US fests that bad, or is the taste just diverging wildly from where we are? I'm seeing hardly any names that I recognise, but have no idea if that's just because they're known in the states but not over here.

  11. At Glastonbury I think I'd have to say the Coldplay '16 set. The lasers, the wristbands, the Viola Beach "duet"...all really well done.

    Outside the festival, Lightbox at Vauxhall is a great venue. Walls and ceilings are LEDs, creates an amazing lightshow. There's better pics out there,  but this was Teleman back in 2018.
