Courtney Barnett

How did you find it, Tom?

Ben, I'll give you a nice big review tomorrow.

Really enjoyed it, the album sounds mega live! The crowd should've been better though. Thanks again for posting that link on here, that was good fun. How did you find it?

[Tuna]

Happy to share, glad you enjoyed! Yeah it was ace, crowd was a bit... London though. Bit of a shame really, thought we'd get better due to it being from the mailing list, ah well. Everyone must spy on eFestivals!

New stuff sounded great live, and the whole band are a load of fun. Didn't get the chance to talk to any of them, which was a shame. As I came in, Courtney was greeting people, smiling away. Awesome to see. Get to see them again in a couple of weeks , hopefully I'll know the album a lot better by then too. Though it is nice to hear songs you recognise but don't know very well. Makes you listen.

Just spoke to Courtney at this album launch thing. Literally had no idea what stage they're playing at Glastonbury but seemed fairly ecstatic when I said I'd heard it was Pyramid

Loving this idea, that we care more/know than the actual themselves !!

Listened to the album last night and its great, really really like it alot! I think Pedestrian At Best is still my favourite song though!

Then had hours of debate on Orange Viynl Vs. Signed Print + Normal Viynl edition ....went with the orange version in the end.

Thanks, Tuna - sounds ace.

Well, if I have any influence, the crowd will NOT be crap at GF2015. I'll be singing and jumping around, hopefully infectiously.

Still holding out hope that she's not stuck early on the Pyramid...just want to see her somewhere smaller...maybe an additional set somewhere (Thursday, WG?)

Saying that, I'll be astonished if I have any desire to see more than one or two Pyramid acts all weekend (just rarely my kinda thing...), so if Courtney and the gang are there, then that at least gives me an excuse to see one!

You won't be disappointed Tom - the orange pressing is really excellent quality. REALLY excellent.

And yes, as 'immediate' as it is, Pedestrian at Best is just a corker. Can't wait to hear that live, cranked up through some mother of a sound system.

[Winslow Leach]

Seeing her tonight at Rough Trade. No idea which vinyl pressing I've go though.

[JBarbour]

In session on BBC R1 soon

[kalifire]

She's added a third date in Melbourne now! At the 3.3k capacity Forum Theatre. She could easily sell out arenas here. This woman is on the rise. Her new album is brilliant.

I'm also selfishly hoping for a smaller stage appearance where she'll attract a more dedicated crowd, although I'm pretty sure she'd be thrilled with the Pyramid. Either way she'll be one of my festival highlights.

She was absolutely brilliant in Manchester last night. Really lively crowd too. Best gig I've seen in ages.

With you on this, kalifire. She'd be good on Park or JP, no?

I think she seems to be pencilled for Pyramid, though I note that she's (changed to..?) unknown stage on the rumours page. I'm hoping for William's Green on Thursday as an extra set. Now that would be a festival highlight...

Ben

[Tuna]

She did JPT, Park and the Crow's nest last year. Think she'll be on the other

[psward]

Confirmed for Pyramid on 6music just now

Well, actually it went something like this:

Nemone: Do you know where you are playing? Park, Pyramid?

Courtney: Err no

Nemone: *giggles* I'm being given the Pyramid sign

Courtney: Actually i'm busy that day.

Damn. Let's hope for at least one other, smaller, 'secret' set...

Could see her doing what Haim did in 2013. They did Pyramid, Introducing (secret) and Park over the weekend!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Reckon they'll wheel her out after whatever quirkmeisters they have opening it up each morning.

[Gnomicide]

She reminds me of some of Sheryl Crow's earier more shouty songs.

in a good way.

[pentura]

Big big fan of her, love the new album but thought she was a bit lost last year up at the Park. Missed the JP set but reckon she's better in a tent or indoor area. Think she could probably do with a rhythm guitarist too. Still think she's amazing though!

[tevaburger]

Could see her doing what Haim did in 2013. They did Pyramid, Introducing (secret) and Park over the weekend!

and about 10 to 15 mins on pyramid again w/ Primal Scream

[CaledonianGonzo]

Can still only stretch as far as 'alright at best'. I'm afraid. However, clashes permitting I'll probably watch her.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think it'll be a while before we see Primal Scream anywhere near the Pyramid again.

[eFestivals]

She reminds me of some of Sheryl Crow's earier more shouty songs.

I thought just about the same thing.

[ghandi]

Seeing her tonight I saw her set in the park last year and thought she was great.

[ryan.smith]

Been listening to her an awful lot lately, definitely one of my must sees for the weekend

Again, will be kinda fun on the Pyramid but hoping for another slot elsewhere too

[TomViolence]

Ben

Yeah let's hope. She was unbelievable at the Ballroom last night

[Tuna]

Would surprise me if she was on either the park or jpt again. Can see her doing the Williams Green though
