[home to you]

Pixies played Primavera, Field Day and Glastonbury...

[Mardy]

Fucking hell, is there no end to second rate bands from my youth reforming as middle aged, ravaged overweight men chasing a few quid to pay the mortgage. Knock it on the head, eh? Stop pissing on my memories and grave-fucking my record collection.

I'm so very relieved that my favourite band from that era, Flowered Up, can never go down this route.

[hurdy]

They're on 6 Music after 9 this morning

[Mardy]

Breathe mardy breathe!!

NURSE!!!

hehehe, give it 20 years, wait till you see the excitement a Kings of Leon reunion in 2030 will bring.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm a bit surprised that they're suddenly a headlining proposition. It's not like there was any great demand for the reunion or that their discography has grown in stature or popularity in their absence.

Nostalgia, really. Look at slowdive last year. Who's got the money to pay for gig tickets? people in their late 30s early 40s.

Mind it could be worse have you seen that PWEI, Jesus Jones and the Wonderstuff are doing a joint tour this winter. A terrifying prospect

Ride were terrific at Glastonbury on the Dome Main Stage in 1994 - I vaguely remember - i may have been quite stoned.

No thanks...

I think it has. Even a few months before the Beady Eye split, I started hearing people talk about Ride, something I hadn't heard in years. All of a sudden people are listening to them again.

I never liked them though, all a bit wishy for my tastes. More a band of my brother's.

While we're on the subject, the harmonies on Coffee and TV always reminded me of Ride..

You say headline but last year it was headlined by Metronomy and Pixies. Park headliner and 2nd top-Other.

I am surprised they've been booked though, Pixies have much more of a legendary reputation to people my age (Field Day's demographic) than Ride do. Nobody really talks about Ride. I have their debut on my iPod but I've only listened to it a couple of times.

Excuse me! I won't have a word said against the poppies and Jesus Jones (my first gig at the town and country Kentish town).

[Brave Sir Robin]

maybe i need to do that again.

^^

And yet now you've got them listed as a rumour, and specifically for Other ??

[5co77ie]

...I rumoured them, and he's saying he may be wrong.

Someone said very specifically:

"Sounds like Neils hinting they may be at glastonbury."

I wasn't. I was hinting that i knew what was about to be announced.

I am delighted that Ride have re-formed and announced gigs.

I am, however, personally offended that they're not gigging here at home in Oxford.

[suzie sue]

Mark told Oxford newspaper that there will be something for the city soon

Got myself a ticket for the Albert hall from a friend yesterday, very excited.

I guess that's true although I was disappointed not to hear Birdman as it's a great song, and while I like Black Nite Crash it sounded really out of place against the rest of the set list, almost like a different band (as I'm sure many will say Tarantula as a whole was).

No Kaleidoscope either

Aside from that minor quibble they were really really good. Seagull and Drive Blind are two of my favourites and they nailed them.

Where do we see these fitting in then if they are to be there?

Tricky one to place for me

JP headliners?

[Homer]

JP would be my guess too.
