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 ...

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).

My fave ever Warp tune

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

[thewayiam]

Faithless under Muse on Friday, decided on that.

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.

 

[JoBalls]

Just so that I don't have to read the last 15 pages that I've missed, have we moved on at all from it being two of Muse/Adele/Radiohead?

[FuzzyDunlop]

No, but we should know one of the others in the next 8 days.

[JoBalls]

Cool, sounds good to me!! 

Edit: I mean knowing in the next 8 days sounds good. Not Muse.

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.

[JamieKThomas]

Anyone know the chances of Biffy Clyro being at Glasto this year? Saw them headline Reading a few years back and they were fantastic, are they big enough to headline though? Would love to see them make an appearance.

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!
