Travis at Glastonbury?

[h00v3r]

Wow, people like different music.

Who knew?...

[4AssedMonkey]

Fox's Crunch Creams are shit!

[harty_devon]

Travis are likely to open the festival if anything, as they have been a previous headline act they are well respected and would be great to see!

[eFestivals]

travis are the pink wavers of the music world big bunch of gays

do grow up you pathetic homophobe.

[dingbat2]

I wouldn't be surprsied if Travis could do a "Keane" type slot like 2011 - playing the Avalon Stage on Sunday afternoon

I am not ashamed to admit I went to see Keane in 2011, and had a great time, I have never seen the Avalon that busy

[dingbat2]

PS Keane didnt play in 2011

And people say mid 2000s "indie"/guitar music was stale

THANK YOU.

I thought that was completely unacceptable.

How come every time anyone expresses a weariness over the harsh nature of musical criticism and discussion, the automatic reply is "it would be boring if we all agreed"?

NO IT WOULDN'T. That's the thing. It absolutely would not be boring. It would be brilliant.

Just think. As fun as it was assigning bands to biscuits in this thread, we could have spent the past five pages discussing what, if anything, Travis mean to us. We could have shared our favourite Travis songs, our favourite Travis memories (of which I have 12. Obviously).

If everybody liked everything nobody would feel superior or alienated for liking/not liking any given thing. And that would be beautiful.

Of course, there'd be questions of quality - if we were agreed that all were brilliant then how would we know what truly constitutes as "good" - but if the idea that we might all get along strikes you as boring, then maybe you should spend less time on the internet?

What's truly boring? The idea that liking certain bands in some way determines the sort of person I am. Those that jump into threads with OH SO WITTY put-downs think they're coming across as dangerous cavaliers of discerning taste. They're not. They're just repeating thoughtless, tired and tedious buzz-words in a desparate attempt to garner attention. And this they always receive, but I wonder if they realise that in behaving as such they automatically become 100% more boring than any band could ever possibly be.

nothing wrong with castlemaine

[ninetyeightytwo]

I know you'd find most if my favourite music shit, (I like 70s funk), but I'd always be willing to say why I think it's great!

[blue6field]

Travis would be a great Sunday afternoon band.

When your totally Knackered sitting in the sun singing along to tunes you know.

I Can't handle much more than that on the Sunday!

[Mr.Tease]

I like 70s funk too! Well, I like Maggot Brain, There's A Riot Going On and Wild & Peaceful but haven't yet explored much more. Where does one go from there?.

[pedmills]

I don't want people to commit to a blanket appreciation of everything, but I do wish there was a little bit more respect and understanding. People are so close-minded when criticising the taste of others. Bands are written-off, and so are those who dare to admit to an appreciation. It's a terrible shame and it brings out the very worst in people.

Why, you go straight to these:

Funkadelic- 'standing on the verge of getting it on'

Kool and the Gang- 'Spirit of the Boogie'

Parliament- 'Funkentelechy Vs the Placebo Syndrome'

Parliament- 'Motor Booty Affair'

James Brown- 'Love, Power, Peace' or 'Sex Machine Live'

For starters!

[star child]

Oh now we are talking....strut your funky stuffff...Brit funk.........is that allowed here????? Light if the World.....Central Line, Atmosfear....Beggar & Co...Second Image, Incognito...and worth a second mention Incognito...Bluey is the man....xxxxxxx

[star child]

Opps...yes I know....its Light of the World.... sorry..too much Glasto excitement and red wine....its all too much!!

[star child]

And to go back to original thread......Travis...All I want to Do is Rock..!!

[ninetyeightytwo]

I like you, Star Child.

[Drinky]

I saw Travis last night at a small comeback gig in London and they were great, considering they've been away for a while. They'd be great for doing an hour on the Pyramid at lunchtime when everyone's still recovering from the night before (like The Lightning Seeds three years back...)

[olive123]

Maybe they will be part of the Williams Green opening party...?

[Mud Dweller]

If Mumfords drop out and they end up bumping someone up to headline - they'd be perfect to fill the slot (Left by the 'new' headliner)

If not the secret gig on the park could be a goer.

[ninetyeightytwo]

So is there a secret gig on The Park, or is it pure speculation based on "leaked" set times ending a tad earlier?
