Cool and Uncool is twaddle. There's music you like and music you don't like - stuff what anyone else thinks.

There are things in our youth we may now wonder about but, good or bad, they helped set us on our musical journeys to where we are now. If you are still deep in territory that others may consider uncool, so what? As long as you enjoy it.

There's a wonderful quote from Sir Thomas Beecham, a great classical music conductor:

"In this life, try everything once, except incest and morris dancing, incest is illegal, and morris dancing should be!"

Apologies to any keen Morris Dancers.

I'm currently temping in a local kitchen and we have Heart radio on. The chef has been mightily impressed by my very wide knowledge of music years in the Time Tunnel part of the show (guess the year from the music selection) and the way I am able to name very obscure pop bands from the 80s and early 90s :P

(I blame it on sitting by my radio/tapedeck hitting record without allowing Bruno Brookes or Kid Jensen to speak during/over the Top 40 Charts on a Sunday afternoon from the age of 7 or 8 onwards...oh and my plethora of Now albums dating back to...NUMBER 3...oh yeah daddio! I think the last one I owned was Now 14 though, I knew when it was time to stop).

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
