Glasto

[Jah Lush]

Yeah great. Let's turn up en-masse to throw rotten tomatoes at Jamie Oliver's pasty potato face. Much more fun than Glasto.

If they do, where the hell do they get it?

The answer at festivals always used to be 'from an American or a Canadian wearing a tie-dyed smock and a necklace made from shells', but I wouldn't know these days.

People still take acid, there's a bloke over in Camberwell been making his own for years, it's liquid form and he pipettes it onto blotting paper just before ingestion.

Organic tomatoes Jah ?

I saw an advert for that on thameslink the other day. It may me wince. All it's missing is Toploader.

You're right they do; in the immediate post-Gabriel period.

I wonder if that's my neighbour? It would certainly explain a few things.

Indeed

In Camberwell, anything is possible.

Ish.

[DJKillaQueen]

Beyonce blew everyone else out of the water imo.....

[Jah Lush]

Beyonce has one good song and a nice pair of thighs. That's it.

[DJKillaQueen]

I nearly bit then Jah.....nearly.... but then realised you don't mean a word of it...well apart from the bit about the tits ;-)

But to play along....what is the one good song?

[*Bob*]

She was/is amazing, but it was a strangely un-connective affair.

The massive backing track and styled 'playalong grrrlz band' was deeply irritating.

We watched it all but (to some extent) with the same fascination that we might have watched a sumo wrestler doing backflips in front of a giant strobe light - whilst a swarm of midgets juggled fire.

[Jah Lush]

Oh but I do mean it. I didn't mention her tits. I don't rate them either. Crazy In Love is her only tune.

[DJKillaQueen]

Jah...she is one of the most amazing vocal talents out there at the moment. Few are in her league. And I always think what makes for a good tune is subjective in the end anyway but songs like 'Listen' and 'If I were a Boy' are also great songs for their genre. In my experience, most people that dismiss Beyonce do so out of a blanket dislike for that genre of music. The Beatles released some right dross in the first half of their career but we hail them as one of the greatest ever. See what I mean?

Hmm Bob...I actually thought it was a clever set. She totally understood that the crowd were not going to be solely die hard Beyonce fans. That Prince cover into Kings of Leon was cool. The all girl backing band is neither here nor there really is it, what matters is the overall show and she put on a good one I thought.

"In my experience, most people that dismiss Beyonce do so out of a blanket dislike for that genre of music."

And the problem with that is...?

[Otta]

I've got nothing against Beyonce, but I'd struggle to find room for her in a list of "the greats".

[DJKillaQueen]

There's no problem with that MP but it's hard to have a discussion about talent in the face of that kind of prejudice. I tend to think that those who really love music can appreciate the best of any genre/ type of music.

I think it's too early to declare her as one of the greats Otta....I think it takes a whole career to define that but she certainly is one of the best vocal talents around at the moment and I think will only get better and better.

[Otta]

Her voice may get better and better, but the arse will start to sag as the years role on. That's where she gets her power!

[DJKillaQueen]

:))

[Jah Lush]

I don't deny she has a great voice. It's the banality of the material that sucks for me and I DO love all kinds of music.

[*Bob*]

A festival performance, especially Glastonbury, is different to doing the O2. It's not about having a slavishly perfected backing track or a load of shit-hot musicians hidden away round the back - with a handful of people with crazy hair who look the part augmenting it out front. It was irritating.

But then half the people watching were only 12 so probably didn't care.
