James Blake

[chestwig]

I know he played the Park stage in 2011. Reckon we could see him somewhere lower down on the bill this year?

Looks like he's playing Spain in May. And a new album out this year too!

I'd like it, I missed him on Park.

Worth checking out xxyyxx if you're into Blake.

Both James Blake and xxyyxx would be great. xxyyxx will probably be low on Park. James Blake, low down on Other/ mid JP?

[The Dawg]

I was lucky enough to be a The Park in '11 and it was an incredible show, once it got going!

I can't see it would be a good Other stage gig as it would n't really suit the environment, it that makes sense.

Maybe Avalon or such like would be better.

[dancelittleliar]

nah. blake would have to headline a smaller stage or play in a late night area, his show would never work in the sun. plus, i guess he would be pretty high up JP

[chewbacca]

Fair enough. I think his popularity has decreased recently though, so I'm not sure where to place him. Depends how popular the new material (if there is any) is

yeah, you're probably right about his decreased popularity, but i still think he would have to play in the dark...

[Purple aki squat]

Nah. Stumbled upon him twice.

Bored rigid and I wasn't alone.

Emporers new clothes and all that.

[theampersanddevil]

Never got into him, but i heard him on rob da bank and he introduced me (and rob) to wooden heart by listener. So for that alone I would go along and listen to him cos anybody who likes that song, isnt all bad.

[Purple aki squat]

Don't you have to be... erm... new, to be emperor's new clothes?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Well I assumed you were on about now, but even in 2011, he'd been releasing (arguably his best) stuff for two years previous to that, so it depends what you define as new.

[dirty_dog]

his album is the most painful thing I've ever listened to, felt like my ears where crying but for some strange reason I know there's talent there

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

His record probably is the weakest thing he's released. His Klavierwerke EP is much better.

I had not even heard of him until a couple of days ago and I can really see how he is polarising opinion.

I like what I heard I will check out the new album very likely be at JP Tent for this one clashes allowing.

[teddyparnell]

First album took me so long to get into. So glad I gave it the chance now tho, and can't wait to see live!

[Saul Goodman]

Is anyone else hugely excited about seeing James Blake at Glastonbury? I absolutely love the new album.

[Saul Goodman]

Ah not so bad. That could translate quite well then. I'll certainly be at The John Peel to find out. Hugging one of the front speakers if I can get that far up
