Glastonbury '22

[blahblah]

Which band etc?

I can think of worse places to be stranded

They were very lucky. They were on an island when the covid restrictions hit and not Bangkok.

Stop it.

I only have so much jealousy and Raoul is in the Maldives

And hoping to be stranded

Obviously and with Angelina

Failing that https://youtu.be/S8u5YnrEbyo are playing Glastonbury today or tomorrow.

[raoul]

Enjoying your almost solo Glasto commentary blah.

Keep it up.

Live music on my island is a rather disappointing Maldivian pair who seem to think they can choose anything to cover even if it is totally unsuitable...

[blahblah]

I was in Kenya many years ago and a great band would play the same song until they cleared the dance floor

Red red wine went on for ages

[quizking]

BLACK MIDI on live right now! West Holts stage (red button)

[blahblah]

Yves Tumour was something else.

just about covers the compulsive viewing, apart from a distinct possibility that time stood still while it happened.

[blahblah]

I think I've recovered from Yves. I don't think I've ever had a hangover disappear from watching anything before

I have never seen or heard anything quite like him/them before, and I doubt at least one of the Security Guards will ever forget it

[blahblah]

Macca to open with Back in the USSR?

This one?...[youtube]https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=QAJc1 ... ture=share[/youtube]

[youtube]https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpc40 ... ture=share[/youtube]The audience loved this one.... so did I

[unc.si.]

Had a busy few days so got loads to catch up on now.


Primal Scream, JAMC, Big Thief, Beabadoobie, Yunglud, Yves Tumor, Jamie T, IDLES, St Vincent, AJ Tracey, Joy Crookes, Celeste, Phoebe Bridgers, Arlo Parks, Sleaford Mods, Greentea Peng, Seun Kuti and Bonobo all on the 'must watch' list

Will probably watch Macca and Noel, and probably Billie Eilish, and then whoever's on today. Fontaines DC and the Waterboys are playing I think, and Jack White is rumoured to be playing as well.

Pretty sure Arooj Aftab was supposed to be playing but can't see her on iPlayer

[unc.si.]

and I've just seen Wolf Alice played on Friday. Definitely watch that - they're awesome. Way too much to watch!!

[unc.si.]

Watching Big Thief now. Adrienne Lenker sounds exactly the same live as on the records. Great voice

She's not bad on the guitar either

So BBC UTube not far behind now?. Its after midnight, and i can't leave it alone.

Big thief was

[blahblah]

I couldn't find any coverage of the acoustic stage, so no Waterboys

[unc.si.]

No - seems to be quite a few missing. Pity about the Waterboys (and Arooj Aftab's not on there either, which is a shame).

Just tried to watch JAMC but it was just weird. They've got old Just not the same as on a tiny stage at the Powerhouse or Rock City with feedback making your sweaty t shirt vibrate and William pushing Jim off stage and kicking the drums over.

[blahblah]

Drums is another thing: they only needed the one drum when I saw them.

[unc.si.]

Just spotted that Dry Cleaning played. New Long Leg was one of my favourite albums of the year when it came out a couple of years ago. New album out soon I think

[unc.si.]

Drums is another thing: they only needed the one drum when I saw them.

Yeah - drummer standing up just bashing the shit out of 2 drums. Pretty sure it was just the 2 of them and a drum machine when I saw them a couple of years later. I don't think anyone could stand being in a band with them for long

[blahblah]

Surprise Act on Peel Stage very soon.

Strange name for a band, but I can see how it works... never heard of them....

[unc.si.]

Dry Cleaning are great. Probably a bit strange if you're not already familiar with their music though

[blahblah]

Bobby Gillespie was the one drum drummer....

Shame he didn't do a song or 2 the other night

[blahblah]

They are on my to watch later list as I only caught a tune or 2 live.

Missed the 1986 gig after getting knocked out a few days before. Missed another JAMC gig in 1988 or 89 (and Glastonbury that year as well) due to dislocating my shoulder. Saw them in 1987, possibly twice in the same year but they were a bit of a jinx for me.

Bobby Gillespie had left by the time I saw them in 1987 I think

[murf]

Watching Wet Leg at the moment. Still not sure how much I 'like' them. All the ingredients are there but it just doesn't grab me. Elements of The Pixies (and many others!) but like most new bands people rave about I know I would enjoy just chucking Surfer Rosa (or similar) on instead of listening to their album.

I must be getting old.... like JAMC and Crowded House. But not as old as Paul McCartney or Diana Ross!

[blahblah]

I'm similar in that modern new acts need to be a bit different, as so much has gone before....

[unc.si.]

I take it Macca's not allowing his set to be shown on iPlayer?

Apparently Dave Grohl joined him on stage at one point. I've been listening to his book (audiobook) and he's known McCartney for years. Its a great book actually - the storyteller, made even better hearing it read by the guy that wrote it rather than a random person employed to make audiobooks

[blahblah]

Are the BBC showing it on TV?

[unc.si.]

It was on last night from 10.30 but not on iPlayer yet

[blahblah]

I thought they might be broadcasting it this afternoon for the pre-school kids to watch it.

If there hadn't been punk, or Iggy and MC5 then Amyl and the Sniffers would be better than Hole without the class etc

[murf]

Not just Grohl but Springsteen and, err, Lennon too. Not a bad guest list.

Lennon was a recording though....

Lots of folks moaned that it wasn't on live last night then others moaning that he should have retired gracefully years ago! Now you lot all moaning it isn't on iPlayer!

----------

When I first heard Amyl & the Sniffers I just assumed they were a minor band from c.78 that I had never heard of. They are pretty good though!
