Next week on Arrested Development, Bob writes another song about spiders.

I listened to Shiny Happy People after Rose-Colored Boy's post but didn't recognise it. Will give the others a bash and see if I know them.

I don't work in an office or have parents that play Smooth FM so maybe that's why

Fair enough. I couldn't tell you where but I feel like they're used in TV and films a lot. I did just remember that this happened though:

4% more streams of Killing An Arab.

They don’t still play that one do they?

Closed with it at BST and the three Wembley Arena shows on their last tour.

Wikipedia tells me they've changed the lyrics up a bit.

I believe they substitute "Arab" with "another" - seamless.

Cheers team. Was momentarily worried about being caught in a particularly xenophobic pocket of the crowd.

Simpsons have ruined REM for me tbh

Can never ever get this out of my head

Just make sure you position yourself closer to the Camus reading sections of the crowd

No one has said The Cure are bigger than R.E.M in general, though.

Listening to It's the End of the World as We Know It and I recognise the chorus.

Surprised The Cure haven't gone to SR on the rumours page

I'm not currently planning to update it, as I just can't get to the place where i think The Cure are likely to be doing it - despite what's been said to me.

They don't anymore. They have gone back to the original lyrics.

The Cure certainly doesn't feel right as a Pyramid Headliner. Other stage? I can get on board with that. The Eavis have booked strong headliners for years now.... The Cure to headline? Not for me Clive. 

If Macca was up for doing Glastonbury again, I'd prefer it to be 2020. The idea of standing in the Pyramid field, sunday night of the 50th anniversary, singing some of the great songs ever written..... it just feels right.

I fear Gaga is going to forever be a lost headliner. Her Vegas residency seems to fit well with managing her health issues; I can't see a major tour happening soon after cancelling part of the last one and can't see her committing to a festival date in the future without being sure of her health.

Rihanna..... if the new album is ready for next Feb/March then she's definitely in the running. If Kendrick's up for it, then there's a definite headliner.

Which flag am I looking for?

[shuttlep]

I'm wishing for Orbital to close Jazz world on Sunday night ..... fingers crossed, the new album is far better then i expected

The one with the crumpled vintage sports car on it

can't say the idea of The Cure headlining excites me too much. Doesn't matter though as I'll be at WH watching Janelle Monae

Really wish I could excited for The Cure. Love the band but I have been here before. They headlined Bestival a few years ago and I was super hyped for it. It turned out to be a shockingly bad performance. The set went on and on and on and on. I'm a fan and I had no idea what they were playing for most of the time. I was quite near the front and people around me were just sitting down. It was all very strange.

 

It was advertised as being a three-hour odd set in advance. Anyway, if they headline Glastonbury they'll get a shorter set like they did at Hyde Park/the last time they headlined Glasonbury.

I suppose the question to ask is "If another band had come to me from the same sources would I add it to the rumours page?" ; if so is it not only fair to treat this with the same respect?

i'd add them, but The Cure were rumoured already.

Ultimately the extra bit of info that suggests they're not doing it that stopped me from upping them to strong rumour. It just makes the whole thing feel a bit odd.

Is that extra bit something that you can share?

Nope, sorry. But they can't both be doing it and not doing it. One of the bits of info has to be wrong.

[mufcok]

If nothing else the rumour's got me listening to The Cure for the first time in a while. Got their Greatest Hits on in work, some unbelievable tunes on there

Fair play, hopefully the fact you've heard they're playing and someone else on here's son was told they're playing isn't just coincidence.

Assuming by both you mean Macca and The Cure, any reason they can't both do it besides them being in the 'old' bracket? Not a great deal different from Neil Young/Springsteen doing it surely..
