Yeah cos only people aged 18-35 are allowed to enjoy festivals. Radiohead are still active and recording new music. They're as relevant today as they were 20 years ago.

... And only mums are allowed to like Adele.... unclench, it was merely a joke.

... of course Radiohead are only relevant if you don't follow the artists that they copy from ...

Such as?

Throw a rock at the Warp records line up and you'll hit someone... Autechre being the most obvious.  Or anything Mike Paradinas has had a hand in.  Expand your search to early Krautrock stuff, Can, Neu!, Faust, Amon Düül II, and you've got the other side. Whine over the top of it in a nasally voice and it is complete... solid, if a little derivative at times, music... add sycophantic fans to taste.

You make a good point, I love Can and a lot of Warp stuff. I still think they're great though :)

Nothing really wrong with Radiohead, they are a reasonable band.  Live they are entertaining too. ... some of the fans on the other hand... a bit like Tool fans (and I love Tool).

Nice choice :)

Fave Warp tune is quite the rabbit hole.  I suspect B12 won't be headlining the main stage (but it would a lot cooler if they did)

Probably because it is the intro to my very favourite Warp album Time Tourist ... closely followed by the Blech II: Blechsdöttir compilation.

Ok Computer is quite obviously inspired by the Beatles. Im pretty sure I read an article somewhere saying paranoid android was their attempt to do "Happiness is a warm gun".

Fitter Happier is very much like Revolution #9

Karma Police / Sexy Sadie

My best friend at the time that was released was adamant the sample said 'night in milwakee' after we heard it in a club. 

We fell out over that very thing and didn't speak for 25 years, until we met again by chance at a tea shop in Beaconsfield. We had a good laugh about it and spoke for a good 25 minutes before it all flared up again and I called him a c*nt. He said the next time he sees me I'd better be prepared as he's going to kill me. You won't get that sort of passion over Radiohead. Or was it Adele we were talking about? Whatever.

Day after the Brits, right?  Reckon there could be any link between this and the next Glastonbury headliner to be announced?  It's not unusual for the two festivals to share a headliner.

Nope. T usually announce their lineup at the end of February anyway and the main rumour is Calvin Harris and Red Hot Chili Peppers for the other two headliners.

My bad.  Haven't kept up to date with the T rumours at all.  If true though, that almost makes Muse, Adele and Coldplay seem like a fantastic trio, comparatively!

    • Brazil's first half was genuinely dreadful all round, not just the midfield, so they're absolutely not bulletproof. Whether Scotland have the quality to take advantage is a different question.   Tbf, that's as much on Morocco looking good, which I did think was a possibility. They could be a bit annoyed with themselves not to have scored more before Vini's goal tbh.
    • Surely nowadays with so much data analytics available on every division in world football and so much awareness that people aren't suckered in on the basis of a decent World Cup game... right?   Although tbf, from what I saw, Australia's game plan worked very well. But that was as much thanks to Turkey blowing varying opportunities given they created enough chances but couldn't finish, a la what happened with Switzerland against Qatar when they really could and should've won by 3/4 goals.
    • I missed Viagra Boys for a good spot for Gorillaz. Was a nice weekend and festival for me. Would definitely come back, if the line up is right. Get back home safe everyone. 
    • The Last Temptation - new Heaven 17 documentary film directed by James Strong. Premiered at Sheffield Docfest this weekend.    I really enjoyed it. Affectionate, insightful, and honest. A nice mix of archival and footage, interviews and clips from the last tour. Martyn and Glenn are like an old married couple.   Plus a snippet of news from the Q&A, Martyn is recording new BEF material, and Phil Oakey has collaborated on the one of tracks. The film shows them meeting in Fagans for the first time in over 35 years.
