see also beeb impartiality, by failing to please all people you will inevitably annoy lots of people.

headliner == established so already annoyed youth (unless ironic appreciation of ancient stalwart)

music taste != myMusicTaste == piss of everybody else.


the answer is obviously to just bloody well go to the conert of the band you like or a festival that caters for your taste.


Green Man has an excellent line-up this year and hammerfest a terrible one...seewadidithere?

Aw that's a shame, I wanted to believe she'd been genuine.


That and now Rolf. Bad day for legends.


RE The Pixies, it's a similar story as the Springsteen one for me. Saw them a while back having never been a huge fan, and loved the gig. On the strength of that I downloaded a load of their stuff and really listened for a while. But with the exception of a few songs it just didn't grab me.


Hadn't realised Kim Deal had left, she was the best thing about them.


Think they could easily headline though.

I really enjoyed this years coverage and had a great weekend with home cooking, beers, world cup and Glastonbury.


I also swore others were lip syncing but my mates there texted back saying it was the time delay....so glad it wasnt just me. Look at all girl rockers Haim - they sounded way too polished to be live - perhaps guitar parts but singing was def not live?

There's are sync issues with digital broadcast (time slip, forward and backward) - and of course more so with online and iplayer. Haim looked like this - loads of timeslip on that transmission - but sounded totally live to me. Wouldn't say they sounded, er, 'too polished'.


Dolly's in the novelty slot, aged 162 with a Bo Selecta face, comedy breasts and the bum of a 12 year-old boy, so I think - all things considered - they thought 'what the hell' and let her do what she wanted, but if they started letting acts like Haim mime it'd all be over.


I find it really irritating, having to constantly discuss whether they 'are' or 'not' - whenever anyone is on anything these days. It really spoils things.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
