Aye I saw some interviews of his not long back and he came across as a proper bellend. Decided to ignore it and just enjoy his music.

Indeed - far better to enthusiastically endorse something sight unseen.

Will admit to being a tad confused; there may be some subcontext I'm missing here... or not... whatever.

FJM comments in this thread do raise an interesting* topic though which is does the personality of a band/artist influence/put people off their music; I say this as someone who was totally ignorant that FJM was a divisive individual.

* I may be being fast and loose with my definition of interesting*

Each to their own etc etc, but bloody hell, FJM really fucking annoys me. Everything. Him, his music, his interviews, and if i got close enough, probly his aftershave too.

 

i mean, good booking and that, but damn.

Agree 100%. His music isn't nearly good enough to justify his bullshit

To people who say it's just an act, that doesn't explain complete dick moves like this http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/07/father-john-misty-went-full-troll-mode-for-his-set-at-philadelphias-xpn-festival/

Just cos you have to change the belt on your turntable you miserable c**t. 

That is enough reason to hate somebody though. Put the record on, sit down and get comfy and then this weird sound comes out of the speaker. If you do decide to change the belt, I normally put a different record on, but if you do change the belt you always forget to change it back so if you go to listen to a record 2 days later it's the wrong speed again so FJM annoys you twice.

Preach it, brother.

In this case it wasnt the personality of the Paterfamilias that was contentious but his jams, or lack thereof - principally a 15 minute long piece of shapeless acoustic navel gazing that seemed to bore the arse off most of the room.

Poor show. You could always try firing a proton torpedo at Sprinty Dave's reactor core.

I know it's off-topic, 2 days late, utter nerdness and nobody cares, but I need to point out that Amy's comment here,  directed at SwedgeAntilles, was obviously referencing Star Wars and the destruction of the Death Star. So yes, proton torpedo is correct. Photon torpedoes, quantum torpedoes and other such nonsense are from a completely different universe.

Back on topic, sort of: does this count as a self-confirm?

Reading the article, it definitely doesn't. They want to play but haven't (at time of writing) been approached

AFTA liked a tweeted query about playing.

Well if I was an argumentative sort, I'd point out that they have already played (albeit unauthorized), so it's a self-confirm after the fact.

Courteeners and Liam Gallagher as good as confirmed. On XS Radio few minutes ago Liam Fray was talking about Oasis and Liam Gallagher in particular and said the band are on the same bill as him at a few festivals this summer: "Benicàssim and one other that I can't talk about yet"

Would love that. West Holts? John Peel?

I reckon West Holts mate but would not really have a clue. Someone mentioned other stage opener which would be a good way to start the festival.

Almost certain, pretty sure everyone that plays Harbourside in Bristol is on the Glasto bill usually.

3 of the 4 last year were. Think it was just James Bay who didn't make it.

Nice one man, I'm glad. I'll have to try and catch some of the coverage online.

WH headliner does feel like a reasonable shout.
