Glasto

[Moos]

Lumme, that's breaking ranks, Mockers. I thought hating everything Coldplay was a rule round here.

[maxxi]

I will hate them double to make up for it.

[Moos]

Well done maxxi, balance of the elements restored. End of universe averted, stars can stop falling from the sky now.

[mockney piers]

The daily mail, much maligned.

Ok joking.

[Moos]

...and there's the seas. Boiling.

[MrBen]

Surely Bono was more of a cock than CM? That bit where he pretended to be a bull, made horns and charged "The Edge", his simulated live making and leather trousers. And the obligatory headliner mention of Leylines. All the work of a clown. But a very professional clown.

*sniffs air in suspicion*... you sure that's not a line from a CP song?

That was worth the walk down from the fields, she really did bring it to Glasto, Epic.

[Annette Curtain]

I thought the boots,pants & gold jacket combo was very fetching.

Also dancing/writhing AND singing (without gasping for breath down the mic) was impressive.

Well that was all quite surreal.. even without any drugs.

I kept expecting her head to pop off, revealing sparking wires and Jay-Z with a remote control.

"Popular" is not the same as "good".

[*Bob*]

You know the same goes for 'unpopular', right?

Poor Jeremy. Was it the sight of all those fresh-faced youngsters with their whole lives ahead of them, singing away, arm in arm. It is disheartening, I know. But at least you can feel secure in the knowledge that popular is not the the same as good. The fools!

[Fabricio the Guido]

So about the unfortunate dead Tory in teh tent at glasto, any ideas what caused it? Any loss of human life is regrettable......

[Jeremy]

Oh yeah, plenty of bad 'unpopular' music too. I just fail to understand what people see in Coldplay.

In particular, I don't know why these "fresh-faced youngsters with their whole lives ahead of them" would be interested in such an insipid dirge.

Perhaps the dead Tory guy had been subjected to both the U2 and Coldplay sets, and lost all will to carry on.

[StraferJack]

Nobody posting on here can be accused of being a music-snob.. not next to the ubder-snob that is

Is that the kiwi guy? Who is he? I'm no Bono fan, but if I'd been him in the post gig interview I'd have punched that chap. What an arse!

[Jeremy]

Calling a radio 1 DJ a music snob is like calling Ronald McDonald a food snob.

[StraferJack]

Zane Lowe - he's been around for years on the VH1/MTV2 channels and more recently at BBC

The sort of guy who would sneer at you if you asked for the wrong album in a Manchester record shop, it's fair to say

Speaking of U2, whatever your view it was great to see Larry being so brutally honest in that interview. I've always liked him. He didn't go so far as to say "meh" but that was the vibe

Pot. Kettle. Black.

[StraferJack]

I did think exactly that when I wrote it ;-) BUt really I'm still more like the nervous customer than the other guy

[*Bob*]

It was weird to see 'roving reports' from such areas as the Stone Circle and green fields - and only ever seeing about six people sitting there.

But I'm prepared to admit that the long term future of the festival won't be secured by ageing hippies beating pieces of bronze whilst people who've forgotten where their tent is look-on, waiting for the acid to wear off.

[RosieH]

Do people still take acid?

[Jah Lush]

It's middle of the road boring mainstream shite. Glastonbury is now corporate middle class Dullsville.

[Annette Curtain]

OK

Glasto over, so where next.

Clapham anyone ?.

[camberwell70]

I thought Elbow sounded like Genesis.

And the BBC coverage? Dumb.
