  2. Holy Thorn Tree of Glastonbury is cut down

    It's "just a tree", just as a £10 note is just a bit of paper, a medal is just a lump of metal, a crucifix is just two sticks, and a November 11th Poppy is just a bit of coloured paper.

    If you can't appreciate that some things have symbolic meaning above and beyond their intrinsic value, you're a cretin. Whether or not the meaning is apparent or relevant to you.

  3. Gorillaz

    I really love the Gorillaz, all three of their albums. I was disappointed by this set though.

    A few comments:

    • Anyone else reckon M1A1 would have been a good opener?

    • Was it just me, or did it seem really quiet? I was 30m from the stage, and could hear my phone go off every time I got a text.

    • The massive gaps between songs dampened any crowd excitement.

    • I can’t figure out how I feel about Clint Eastwood – my favourite parts of the track were replaced by Snoop Dogg’s lyrics, but on the other hand, I do love a bit of live alteration.

    • Where I was standing, there was no crowd vibe at all – everyone seemed f**king bored tbh. I felt at the time I would probably be more into it if I had their CD on at full blast.

    In summary, it was worth watching, but not fast paced, or popular, or crowd-moving enough to be comparable to the other headline acts. I don't like Muse much, but they give 110% and really pull off an amazing show...

  8. when will the best british band headline......

    Kasabian are shite. Completely, totally, 100% shite.

    I think I'm the first person to say this on this thread, but I've been arguing about them with a work colleague all week (who reckons they'd be better headliners than Stevie Wonder - need I say more?)

    I'm certainly not one to say 'I don't like them therefore they're crap' because I don't like Radiohead or Muse but can't deny they're talented bastards. There are others that fall into that category - Kasabian don't. Because they're shite.

    But what talent do Kasabian have? Zero. They are simply shite. I love watching Sky Sports News, but hearing that crap blaring out before/after EVERY commercial break puts me right off. If it wasn't for Charlotte Jackson and Georgie Thompson's cleavages, I'd probably not watch it at all to avoid that detestable song.

    Best band in Britain? Well they certainly have a HUGE fanbase in this country - the country that has a karaoke act at Christmas number 1 most years, the same country that made 'Jedward' famous.

    So yeah, if you want to make Kasabian the biggest band in Britain, go ahead. In this day and age, I don't think it's much to be proud of.

  9. The Glastonbury Odds are back up

    Unlucky people. :P

    Just looked back now as thought I'd seen people just say they've backed them at like evens, so thought there may be a fair wedge on.

    Seems most only put £20 odd on at 8/1 so was well worth the punt based on information available at the time.

    It was strange - Stones were 4/1 I think. Bowie was also high up on the list with similar odds. Coldplay were 7/1, Muse and U2 were both 8/1.

    P.S. If Muse turn out to headline and I pocket £200 from this great find, I'll give you my phone number DanBowie, and you can call me at glastonbury for a couple of free pints!
