Glastonbury 2011

Wow I didn't realise the Scream were headlining the other stage. That will be fucking epic.

For the first time the festival will be offering sweeteners to revellers who cut their carbon footprint. People getting public transport to the event will be given access to solar-powered showers, compost toilets and discounts from food stalls.

Discounts form food stalls? Bet thats a load of bollocks. Probably one stool in some field nobody will ever see.

Have you sorted your coach out yet?

Nah will sort it out once the tickets have been all paid for incase big-man or his brother inlaw pull out last minute

You gonna do your usual or come wednesday this year? Last year we did your tactic and got the first bus out of there monday morning, was beautiful.

don't you have cars? fuck getting a bus there with all your gear!

last year we drove there on tuesday night and waited in the car park all night till the gates opened.

It's easier by coach Orch.

I'll turn up Thursday morning as usual Karl.

Ok mate. I'll tell Flacko to get his tent nice & tidy for your arrival.

Karl, I know you're not a huge fan but if there is nothing else going on, go and see Janelle Monae, saw her again the other night, it was brilliant, a proper 'show' and performance, well worth checking out.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll say I will but I probably wont

the janelle monae album didn't do much for me tbh, found it a bit too tasteful

It was probably a bit too overly ambitious for it's own good. She drifted in & out of different styles yet never once I felt had one that sounded her own. Be interested to hear her next record to see if she progresses but that was one that I really couldn't understand the hype about.

Also Kev. Did you SIT DOWN ON THE FLOOR LIKE A GREAT BIG CUNT when she asked everybody to? I've wiped my cum all over that dancefloor in the past, I bet it's all over your jeans now you cunt.

YEAH MAN, I WAS DOWN ON THAT FLOOR LIKE CHRISTIANO RONALDO IN THE BOX!!

Funnily, I adored the record for the exact same reasons that Karl didn't like it, I loved the meandering in and out of different styles and mostly the fact that she seemed to lend herself to the songs, rather than her style dictating the songs, also I found with repeated listens that as the album is suites 2&3 of a four suite set, that it worked as almost a side one and side two or a double album, with the more straightforward and upbeat songs on the first 10 ir 11 tracks, representing side one and the more weirder and experimental stuff at the end being side two, and just having that distinction in mind, helped me digest it better as a whole, if that makes sense.

I'm keen to see where she goes, I get a feeling the next album will tread similar ground, but its going to be the final chapter of the set so maybe it'll be a bit shorter and streamlined.

But, I think as partial listeners, if there was maybe nothing else going on at a festival, her live show would be a decent time waster for the casual fan, she puts on a rather good performance.

You guys know Eels have confirmed it, right?

Fuck yeah!!!

Is ther ANY CHANCE Eels play a solo show in England in June?

Maybe

There's no money in Glasto. They won't come here just for the festival, bound to be other gigs.

"BDI certainly wouldn't be fucking Glastonbury, because it's a shithole. They ought to put all that fucking money they make and buy a decent fucking sound system."

Bless him, he's not been invited. Perhaps V would have him.
