Exploring new art-forms


Tigerdragon

Recommended Posts

So we talk about the music a lot, and rightly so. But since Glastonbury is so fantastically diverse, I want to know what not-strictly-music acts you're going to see - especially if its a completely new art-form for you personally.

 

Since I don't know very much about so many acts playing, it's really easy to just flick past amazing acts, so it'd be nice to get to know other people's finds and maybe end up having a few different things to look forward to, that I'd just never get the chance to do on a Friday night otherwise (though I know bumping into these things is a very good way to get the job done, too!)

Mine is the Haka group performing at the Gully on Friday, about noon. I don't know if I'll see the whole hour, but it looks really interesting. I've never seen the Haka outside New Zealand (and some of the other pacific islands) rugby on TV. Here's a clip:

I'm determined to spend some time in the circus fields this year, as I only ever go there to get somewhere else.  Ditto with the Green Fields.  Got a lot of "dead space" where there aren't any bands I'm really excited about, so I'm going to make the most of it.

 

I may also drag myself to the speaker's forum or the university if I can motivate myself, but I make no promises!

    • Another one from Sheffield DocFest this weekend, Earth Wind & Fire docu, directed by Questlove. Sensational archive footage, contributions from band members, family, plus a lot of very big fans (Stevie, Lionel, Flea, the Obamas) and a warts n all assessment of the genius / flawed human being that was Maurice White. Also, I never realised he started out as a jazz drummer with Ramsay Lewis. Well worth a watch.
    • In a 6,800-word Substack essay, external, the Clacton MP said "anti-white racism was embedded into the state", and that legislation aimed at equality was a form of "social cleansing"   .https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdjkd4mp93zo   The privileged white c**t hasn’t got a clue what racism is. 
    • BBC iPlayer: Will serve as the main hub for past sets, including both recent hits and iconic archival gems. You can explore the BBC iPlayer to watch curated compilations, "Best of Glastonbury" recaps, and on-demand replays of historic headline performances. [1, 2, 3] TV Broadcasts (BBC Two & BBC Three): The channels will air dedicated compilation shows. Leading up to the weekend, you can watch archive programming such as Glastonbury: 70s Legends, 80s Legends, and 90s Legends on BBC Two. [1] Radio & BBC Sounds: Pop-up Glastonbury radio stations on BBC Sounds will feature non-stop coverage, including exclusive mixes and huge sets from past years
    • Got HBO Max to watch football so watched One Battle After Another which is a great film and deserves its awards and then rewatched Magnolia and that is a flipping amazing film...so much in it. (also rewatching Angels In America series which is also amazing).
