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.

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
