A word about the youth, the following conversation happened today between me ans my thirteen and three quarter old nephew

"Is Radiohead a website?"

*Pause where I think he's shitting me*

"No, Radiohead are a band". I want for him to realise what a stupid thing he's just asked.

"Oh." 

Vile. What are they teaching in schools nowadays? In my day we had to write out 2 encore setlists from memory and recite B-Sides in order of obscurity.

if Noel Gallagher was booked to headline the Pyramid giving a lecture, i'd be much more inclined to go and listen than if he was booked to play his music!

Revisted A moon shaped pool today.

Whilst I do really enjoy it, for some reason I have not become obsessed with it.

Today during "the numbers" - I was thinking "this album really is great", but afterwards - Ive gone back to listening to Father John Misty (who I have started to love) & the mighty King Gizzard...

Whats up with me?!

Or is it not really an album to obssess over?

Yeah I hadn't listened to it for a couple of months before last week as the spark had sorta gone and upon revisiting it, it's obviously a pretty good album but there's certainly more nourishing stuff out there in 2016 so I'm not really still hung up on it. The excitement of having Radiohead back and touring is realer than the AMSP hype.

I think Present Tense is my favourite song on AMSP. Almost tempted to do an AMSP power list now it's been with us for quite a while...

=1) Identikit =1) Ful stop

2 - The Numbers 

3 - Present Tense

4 - Decks Dark

5 - Daydreaming

6 - Burn the Witch

7 - Desert Island Disk

8 - True Love Waits

9 - Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief

10 - Glass Eyes

 

TLW only so low as I prefer the live solo acoustic version, Glass Eyes last purely as it is my least fave off the album, not because it is shit or anything!

That list took me a good 5 minutes to think through in my head. Thats the sign of a good album, when it won't come to you straight away :P

    • Any festival is going to face most of the same limitations just by the nature of the event. It's not realistic to accommodate custom staging that extends out deep into the field. Trying to do so and trying to rebuild those kind of structures at the front of the field every day would severely impact on other performers, potentially even including other headliners. It'd also drive everyone involved insane. The most you can get away with is a basic extension that doesn't hide anything fancy. Remember that a lot of the time on these big choreographed shows, the stage extension itself will contain all manner of things to help the show beyond just being a simple platform. Also remember that these structures are designed to be assembled and operate on perfectly flat stadium or arena floors.   In terms of the stage itself - yes, the Pyramid is undersized (I believe 16 metres wide at rigging level). The de facto industry standard has become 20 metres and so it likely does need increasing and apparently there are plans to do so. But that only helps with artists that can largely confine themselves to the stage.   The Other Stage is already 20 metres - to be exact the Other Stage structure is the same model that Serious Stages provide to Reading, Leeds, Download etc for use as their Main Stage and there's nothing larger (at least off the shelf) in their catalogue. So no reason to change that.
    • Can someone remind me, on Harry Styles specifically - have we had any concrete info on him?   I don't personally remember saying much/anything on him, though I have just been away for a month, so could be forgetting something.
