Arcade Fire were good last night. Watching CSS now.
Christ this multiscreen thing is the business!

Christ back in my day (been waiting years to say that) Carcass or Napalm Death would be on at this hour of the day. Kenny and Dolly?

really was it like that? carcass were a great band. the singer was cambridge edumucated.

kenny rogers isn't the worst though!

Saw bits of it on telly. A parade of mediocrity..I'd have been happier if there was someone awful that I coul have got annoyed about, but it was all just ok, nothing more nothing less.

Crowd these days bug me as well..

Here's The Killers..."Oh my god, the Killers are so amazing"

Here's Shirley Bassey..."Oh my god, Shirley Bassey is so amazing"

Here's 4 blokes we picked off the street and gave instruments to.."Oh my god, 4 blokes we picked off the street and gave instruments to are so amazing"

Is it verboten to say someone is crap, or even reasonably good, or alright?

I know where you're coming from. I listed my tv highlights, but there was a lot of trudgery too. The five screen choice on BBC loses it's impact when all five bands sound the same.
I guess I'm out of touch, and in fact I used this as an opportunity to catch up on a lot of the bands, but the likes of dirty pretty things, babyshambles, maximo park, killers, bloc party to name a few, just don't do anything for me.

The only criticism of the BBC coverage was, with all the choice they stuck to these 'type' bands most of the time, when there must have been some other interesting music going on.

I thought the Who didnt sound that good, but then they are oul fellas!
Didnt get to see Arcade Fire, but there new album doesnt sound as good as the last one
S Bassey on the main stage! what the hell is that all about?

What do you expect?
Funeral was ridiculously good.
I'm thinking Neon Bible is another classic now.

Sorry, but Shirley Bassey really was quite good. The Killers would have been brilliant, but the wind was blowing the wrong way and I couldn't hear them properly. It's true about the 4 blokes they picked off the street and gave instruments to though.

The rain was relentless, the mud worse as the weekend went on and your legs got more and more tired. I went through two tents, both of which dribbled at me slowly like demented pensioners. I fell over getting into one, and fell over getting back out again.

It's rained every year I've gone, but this year was just too much. No Glasto for me next year, so I can test my sister's theory that I'm a jinx. If it's sunny next year, I'm taking a camper the year after.
