There's a playlist on Spotify that has their two Ally Pally sets in from September. First half/set is probably closest to what they play - but the second half has all the other possibilities.
Isn't some of it just that it is now offered, whereas it wasn't before. I reckon lots of people have always hated putting up a tent, so the option not to do it themselves appeals.
Everyone I know who went had a cracking time. Many of whom were not at all up for it beforehand. Something a bit different to the usual.
Certainly made some of the doomsayers on here look very stupid.
That 2009 gig was his first festival in forever wasnt it?
Saw him do Isle of Wight in 2012 (tries on fallow year) and he was already ’getting it’ more.
Still feels complex doesn’t it? Much more complex than basically everyone who’s engaged so far in this thread makes out.
It’s clear from the article many in Malaysia are not keen on this intervention but I still think there is a debate whether this means it is entirely wrong as it is natural oppression makes you nervy and scared. The ‘white saviour’ and ‘don’t come over here and criticise our country’ feels fair on one hand but also a bit Stockholm syndrome-ish on the other?
Also feels to me there short term and possible long term consequences. Maybe short term it is bad - but also perhaps it had drawn awareness to the issue that could help longer term and it’s clear that silence has hardly worked in the past either…
Feels very complicated to me anyway. The only conclusion I have made is that people over here have generally jumped on the incident whatever their knowledge to point score either way about Matt Healy rather than genuinely trying to support the Malaysian LGBTQ community.
(Already regret posting in here as most of the thread seems to be absolute nonsense.)
I don’t really know where this idea would come from. The locals don’t have a backwards music taste ffs. PP acts have been really varied over the years.
I just saw this on twitter, and this is practically in the pit - how is anyone meant to see
It does feel like we have gone too far. I voted for flags whenever that vote was a decade or so back
