I can’t stand the likes of Trump or Farage and hate the (mis)use of be words snowflake or millennial as a derogatory term too. I agree, i did mean that any shorthand title for a group of people runs the risk of creating stereotypes, I just used Gammon as an example.

ripcurl85 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Solid headliner for WH in Janelle Monae, the BBC in particular have been pushing her output pretty heavily over the last six months or so. I've not seen her live but what I have heard of her latest album is solid an I imagine her show will be quality. Change at Arcadia is nothing new, I think there have already been several threads on the fact that the spider won't be there this year. An expanded/rearranged Park and Block9 are definitely to be welcomed. It will be interesting to see whether any change will be made to Silver Hayes.

In the event that you're going to the biggest music festival in the world and don't really keep up with music, it's hard to comprehend that Moonlight and Hidden Figures have passed so many people by. I remember year before I first went to Glastonbury so would be 2015 seeing few media interviews with mainly younger people arriving. Quite a few didn't even know who was playing . People go for many reasons. I think most people who post on here regularly have a wide musical knowledge but also it's often the case that a lot passes us by . I'm in my 50s . Yes I listen to 6 music but don't wear chords...I know who janelle monae is but couldn't tell you very much about her . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with u on this to many media stereotypes now to just write off groups both young and older .

mufcok Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Can't say I've come across her although I did quite the tune that was played of hers after the announcement Won't be checking her out unfortunately though, unless she does Friday or we are shocked with an unexpected headliner Sat/Sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyPorter Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Weirdly I still associate her with that We Are Young song by Fun, she was very unnoticeable on it too. Have been meaning to give the latest album a listen so a very good reason to crack on with it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Gammon isn’t a race, age, gender or sexuality, it’s a way of being. It’s just that most people who display Gammon behaviours are straight while males over 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Great as this will no doubt be, she'll be doing well to top the 2011 show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 If Suite II had been released on it's own, The ArchAndroid would be up there with the best album of the 21st Century for me. It takes a real nosedive towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her album was tremendously received last year - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Computer#Accolades I hadn't even realised the different roles she's played, but she clearly chooses her projects carefully. To be honest the more the festival cause those tedious gits without tickets to appear on social media saying "who?" then the better, it means more of the crowd in here can get tickets in the resale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 I saw her in Manchester when she was touring the second album and that was another great show. I’ve no doubt she’ll ace the top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
