Thought I think it might be time to turn the scrutiny on This Year's Catfish.

Who's in the frame? Blossoms? The Sherlocks?

I reckon, unfortunately this year's Catfish are ... still fucking Catfish

I am looking for some recommendations as well. Are Wolf Alice any cop? I thought it was indie landfill. 

I didn't think much of them to start with but am starting to like them a lot, and by all accounts they are better live than on record. They certainly aren't landfill.

Have a listen to all the TBCs and SRs (and confirmed acts) and find your own recommendations on this here playlist.

Hold on, is there really a band called The Sherlocks? That's an appalling name. I mean, really. Ooof. Just dreadful.

[dentalplan]

Leeds electronic (formerly post-rock) group Vessels doing the Glade on Saturday according to this. That should be good.

Here's what they sound like

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Happy to take your guidance on this.

So, without further ado.

Can't wait for Catfish and the lads to tear West Holts a new one.

The latter are pretty bad, but there's no grim merch table signs or anything and I don't think we're done with Catfish yet. Ain't broke etc.

They look and sound as original as their name suggests:

Good work Dental. Their last album got a lot of love. One to investigate (a la Sherlock).

not saying I'm so set on certaincy with regards to them doing WH imperticular, but I've seen someone on here in another thread say it too. What is the main audience for WH? 

From http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/areas/west-holts/

There’s the unique and eclectic musical programme that fuses cosmic world beats, pop, rock, soul and disco from around the world whilst showcasing both established and new artists to an audience keen to explore musical adventures with like-minded people.

Does that sound like Catfish?

They've had a fucking shocker there, haven't they? Dear God. It's like somebody looked at Viva Brother and thought they were a bit too edgy and iconoclastic and needed toning down a bit.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They came to my attention when Steve 'Lamo' Lamacq played them the other night.

Nuff zed.

Though no talk of the "New Catfish" is complete without this priceless cornucopia of ladband fail:

I remember watching Glastonbury on the red button a few years ago and seing Ornafives being played by them, wonderful stuff

I'm just concerned that anyone thought it was a good idea to record that song, release it and even make a video for it. Perhaps it's some post-modern joke we're not in on.

I listen to 6music pretty much all day at work but I have to turn off at 4 when 'lammo' shows up, because he plays shit like this.

[Room to sway]

I don't really want to white knight a distinctly average band but I'd say The Sherlocks are more "meh" than "shite"...

I could imagine enjoying that when I were a lad and that. And if Arctic Monkeys had never existed.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yup - sad to say that "Lammo" is the worst thing on 6Music by a country mile, forever stuck in an unloved backwater of 1990s indie music where Midway Still are the hot young act on the block and Kingmaker are gods.

Glad I'm not the only one to think so. I'm sure I read somewhere his is the most popular show. In the same way Lionel Richie pulls the biggest crowd at Glastonbury, I suppose.

[CaledonianGonzo]

9 times out of 10 'Lammo's Lost 45s' are lost with good reason.

With all the confirmed and self confirmed, how do people think the line up is looking compared to last year?

For me personally I could not really ask for more with New Order, James, St Etienne and Stereo MC's. Last year I was only really bothered about Hot Chip.

Last year couldn't have been more perfect for me and was always going to be hard to follow. But nothing much on the rumoured line up to excite so far - Grimes excepted. Only need 5 or so acts over the weekend to keep me happy though. And sure they'll come with the big announcement. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I actually wouldn't weep at a slightly less consistent line-up this year as last year I was zipping around the place without much opportunity to pause and smell the roses. A bit more breathing space wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

That said, early indications are that there's going to be a plethora of things to see.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Pulling this over the page again just in case anyone missed it. It's gold, baby, solid gold:

Yep, "Lammo" is the worst DJ on the station by miles, barely ever plays anything that isn't by white boys with guitars. Complete dinosaur!
