Oh no

Another one - Tom Verlaine, Television 

Marquee Moon one of my absolute favourite albums

Too many gone! I saw Television back in the day. There was such a buzz about them after that amazing review of Marquee Moon (The NME I think). I’ll give it a play tomorrow.

His 2015 set on the Pyramid was everything Glastonbury should be. God bless. 

Sad news. I have always felt a little guilty about missing that but he clashed with Kae Tempest and they always give it everything at Glastonbury because it means so much to them.

Was at that 2015 set but can't remember a thing about it due to an absolute monster of a hangover I was nursing from the night before.

Burt was frail and they tried to prop up the sound by having some shithead comptition winner sing most of the tunes.

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
