Heard one life stand on Laverne's show this morning and it sounded fantastic. I've agreed with my girlfriend to see the killers instead. Might have been an error ?

I can confirm it is an error.

There's nothing wrong with the current drummer.  If I was in a rehearsal room auditioning* and he sat down at the kit I'd be amazed and hire him on the spot, but Sarah added an ineffable sense of urgency to the music.  It's not like the difference between Robbie Maddix and Reni, and might even be my imagination, but she just seemed a bit tighter and slightly further forward on the beat.

It's not as if he's Stephen Morris or anything.  I expect gigging a bit will improve things. He's already very good.

* It is very many years since I've seen the inside of a rehearsal room.

Joe's vocals seem better.

Has Sarah left the band or is Harry Styles just a bigger pay day? I really love her drumming would be gutted if she's gone.

Really looking forward to Glasgow tonight

And it was aimed specifically at you

Did you manage to get a ticket for Manchester?

I think there were a bit of nerves but he had a good groove! Took the lead from Al Doyle most of the way so not sure how rehearsed he is. Any idea who he is?

I love Hot Chip, been a fan for at least 10 years, in fact, think the first time I saw them was Glastonbury 2007/2008 (in the JP), but fuck me, that cover of Sabotage is appalling.

Managed to get in to the Glasgow gig tonight. This may either free me up for Jon Hopkins or lock them in for G19 must-sees. We'll see...

They tweeted that they are on at 20:30 sharp tonight.

[Fishman]

Looking forward to the first set of reviews ... (Thursday for me).

Politics of compromise my friend. Seeing them on the weekend and already caught Jon Hopkins this year, so it's the logical choice.

Either that or dump your girlfriend....

In 2007 my girlfriend went to watch The Killers at the Pyramid, I went to The Park to see Africa Express.  I won.

Despite this, somehow we're married with a child.

You haven't permitted her to attend another Glastonbury though.

That's true.  On account of the rain.

Why is that?

Is it because they are playing at somewhere that's a nightclub afterwards?

 

I hate that. Places should either do a gig night, or a club night, not greedily try to squeeze in both.  It means you have to be in absurdly early to have a chance of seeing a support act, and you don't have enough time to have a few drinks before the headliner comes on. If I was in a band I'd refuse to play places like that.

 

If that's not the reason, apologies for the rant.

Only made it through about 30 seconds before concluding that if I am to hear it properly then 4 days solid drinking may be required first.

Hopefully long set. My wish list is 117 songs long.
