Off Topic Glasto

And think between us we have probably proven to Carmine, beyond any doubt, that they are no longer cool...............................

 

Does anyone know how well Hull band Happy Endings did?

 

Chic were much better than I was expecting. Quite like some of Ed Sheeran's music, but he it NOT the right act for headlining Glastonbury.

 

Let's not **** about, there's a real reason people like London Grammar...

 

Can't say any of this festival music moves my bones but Sigrid was an interesting alternative listening experience not sure if she has enough to become a force in the music world.

 

Hand on heart, if they passed me in the street I wouldn't know who they were.

I listen to all music on either the radio, or via iTunes.

 

Quite like London Grammar, went to see Callaghan a Lincolnshire girl who lives in the States now in York a couple of weeks ago, very similar to London Grammar, she was excellent.

 

FFS OLM, I was going to bring the Dead Bod flag up, you've ruined it now...




Well, that was a bloody ace weekend of music, booze and probably drugs just from the fumes.

Saw First Aid Kit, Kris Kristofferson, Royal Blood, The xx, Radiohead on Friday - mainly stayed at the Pyramid all day, was about 10 rows from the front.

First Aid Kit, great. Kristofferson was decent, bit weird seeing Johnny Depp, Bradley Cooper and Brad Pitt on stage there though. Particularly Cooper, as he was there to do some filming on stage. Royal Blood ****ing KILLED IT. They're so good. The xx, they're fine, not a massive fan but not too bad. Radiohead, a bit biased here of course, were absolutely unreal and were fantastic.

Spent a lot more time switching on the Saturday, saw British Sea Power, obviously popped to see Jezza Corbyn and Run the Jewels, Liam Gallagher, The National and Foo Fighters.

All of them were great, but nothing came close to Foo Fighters. Easily, the highlight of the weekend and the best performance I've been to ever. Was only about 7 or 8 rows back as well, real close. They could've played all night.

Final day, didn't even touch the main stage, Ed Sheeran doesn't interest either me or the lass. Spent most of the day looking aorund the non-musical stuff. Went to see the secret set at the John Peel Stage, which turned out to be The Killers, great stuff. Saw The Courteneers and London Grammar anarl. Both decent.

All in all, a belting weekend fully worth every single extortionate penny. Even if the lavs were ****e (no pun intended).

 

Pleasantly surprised to see that Stephen Quinn was guesting with Biffy Clyro

 

Seems there is a lot of football connections with them.

 

That was my sister and her friends, god knows what possessed them to do it but they were chuffed it made the HDM!

 

Is that Ibrahimović?

 

Looks like him.

 

The Happy Endings did a great little set of 4 or 5 songs on the BBC Introducing stage. Played a few off their new album which I had a copy of. They sounded pretty good before but now the third sister has joined, their harmonies are truly brilliant. Emma gave a shout out to Hull too.

 

Thanks.

 

I've been to Glasto about 6 times (the memory blurs) and I've never stood in front of one stage for a day, you massive weirdo.
