Both fantastic. Angel Olsens especially had me in a trance all day yesterday. Top 5 AOTY so far for sure

Her last one was pretty alright while not being special, but the singles off this one are in a different league, so I'm expecting a big step up.

Yeah it is an incredible surprise of a record. Put off listening to it for a while because the last one was fairly good but nothing that made me look forward to the next one or anything but she's completely changed up her game and brought some huge tunes with this one - listened to it more in the past two weeks than I think I ever did Burn Your Fire for No Witness.

Back to Isaiah Rashad for a sec; I was kinda disappointed initially because same as so many others I'd been looking forward to what was next from this guy after hearing Cilvia and on first impressions TST felt over-long and unambitious. Now I've listened to it a couple more times and focused on it song-for-song rather than the big picture, I think it's great. He's still extremely talented and the production is kinda low-key and so are the features (obligatory Kendrick spot on TDE record aside) but that gives him more room to shine technically. I think the problem was - with so many Kendrick comparisons - expecting a statement like GKMC forgetting that Section.80 came first; so if this is Isaiah's Section.80 then the big things are yet to come.

The new Wedding Present album arrived this morning

on first listen.....The boy Gedge done good, very good

I have it on good authority* that John Peel will turn up to add mandolin and waily ghost noises to every set in the JP tent next year if this lot don't finally appear on the bill.

 

 

 

* Doris Stokes told me in the home baking aisle in Sainsbury's the other night.

I've now listened to the new Wedding Present album 4 times. I have to upgrade my initial rating of 'good' to 'bloody excellent'.

The best they've ever done and my favourite this year so far.

Give them a headline slot in the JP Tent, they deserve it, and John would approve wholeheartedly

    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
    • No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
    • Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
