Wow. Glastonbury really has hit and surppassed it's quota for diabolical acts this year hasn't it.
-
Oh Lordy please...not them.

The true test will be if you're attending some unconnected work meeting months or years from now or if you're in the pub and someone says something really dumb or really blindingly obvious and someone else responds "That is sooooo Mike99......"
Then will we know the true ripple effect of the great Mikes mails
-
Mike is Neil.
He sticks the most outrageous stuff on here as Mike99 then if no one flames him - on it goes as a TBC.

Try http://www.tentspares.co.uk
They seem have most stuff for most tents.
Not cheap - but are quick to deliver.
You've got me worried now - gonna have to check mine

I was astonished in general at how good the sound was. The Park sounded brilliant - far better than most indoor gigs I've been to. I only saw a couple of acts at the John Peel. The Black Lips sounded shite (but then everything about them was shite) but the Futureheads sounded fine. A bit distorted and not as clear as other stages but still ok.

For those (meself included I think) looking for a greatest hits set - here's the words of the man himself :;
"I don't believe in just doing my hits, because you can only do that so many times, and then you just repeat yourself. At this stage in my career, that would be the kiss of death. You might as well go to Vegas and just collect. I don't want to do that yet, and hopefully I can avoid doing that for a long time."
Whether we like it or not - this points to a "Fork In The Road" set !!
Bang on Neil for your commitment to
-
when will you tell us who you are? anyone guessed right yet?

Well I like it. Lets face it Shakey's quality control on his own stuff has always been a bit flaky. But theres good stuff on there - and I too like the "loose" feel.
It's difficult not to judge him against his best work - and we've been lucky recently as his last few have all been corkers. Judged against those - its not his best. Judged against some of the others (Are You Passionate?/ Landing on Water? Everybody's Rockin' for instance) they're not bad.
To say its a complete turkey is a bit harsh

All I know is that it was heaving round the Other stage last year - ended up watching that tosser Ronson cos we couldn't get anywhere else.
There were an awful lot of clean people in the crowd - so must have been a fair few day-types

Best version?

THE PROMISE
Johnny works in a factory and Billy works downtown
Terry works in a rock and roll band
Lookin' for that million-dollar sound
Me sometimes I don't do nothing
Some spend a lot of time alone
Some nights I go to the drive-in
And some nights I stay home
I followed that dream just like those guys do way up on the screen
Rode down the Challenger down Route 9 through the dead ends and all the bad scene
When the promise was broken I cashed in a few of my dreams
Well now I built that Challenger by my self
But I needed money and so I sold it
And I lived a secret I should've kept to my self
But I got drunk one night and I told It
All my life I fought the fight
The one that no man can never win
Every day it just gets harder to live the dream I'm believing in
Thunder Road, here's one ride in the morning till it turns light
Thunder Road, there's something dying out on the highway tonight
Well now I won big once and I hit the coast
Oh but somehow I paid the big cost
I feel like I was carrying the broken spirits
Of all the other ones who lost
When the promise is broken you go on living
But man it steals something from down in your soul
Like when the thruth is spoken but it don't make no difference
Something in your heart grows cold
Well I followed that dream in the Southwestern flats
To the dead ends in a two-bit bars
When the promise was broken I was far away from home
Sleepin' in the backseat of a borrowed car
Thunder Road, here's one for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
Thunder Road, here's one for the tires rushing by in the rain
Thunder Road, remember me and Terry what we'd allways say
Thunder Road, we're gonna take it all and throw it all away

Been watching a lot of live vids lately and am really excited now
along with Blur and (hopefully?) Primal Scream (haha, and tha's just bandwise ), could make my weekend - doesn't seem to have lost any of the energy from his earlier shows in later years, which is amazing, does anyone have any idea on the chances of these songs;Atlantic City (acoustic)
Jungleland
Backstreets
Point Blank
For You
Rosalita
While I've no doubt it'll be a great show no matter what, those six songs in the set would lead to a few discreet orgasms on my part.

Hello i was wondering if you springsteen fans (obessives) could help me out a bit ,
there was a post a while back about someone wanted to sort a compilation tape out , but everyone recommended about 30 songs, i've had a look at the greatest hits but thats got about 50 songs on it as well.
I quite jungleland and code of silence, and i'm gonna sling born to run on there asw ell so i need 7 more to stick on a tape (well download them for my ipod)

Well, Steve was maybe not in the band from the start, but he sure was around. That a side, like I said before, for me this has nothing to do with her voice or how she singes.. I just think that Bruce is a better when she is not on stage.. why? I really dont know why, it just seems like he is more relaxed and focused when she is home..
-
And nobody should be saying that Yoko split up the Beatles, she didnt.
-
how so?
so why doesn't Steve get the same 'bashing'?
