GLASTONBURY WOO!

[Captain Mostly]

I've just got back from the Glastonbury festival (sorry for the Anglo-centric thread btw, I kow we're a multi-cultural society on here) and it was BRILLIANT!!!

Was anyone else there? I can recommend to EVERYONE the amazing live-show of a man called Ceephax... Although how to get hold of his stuff is beyond my poor mental-powers, and besides the only MP3s he's posted on-line are poopenhime compared to the live show!

BEEP BEEP!

saw the flooding on the tv, really just couldn't handle it

wouldn't have minded one of those £6000 tents mind :p

Bleh, my girlfriend went and i was offered a sunday ticket for £45. Unfortunatly i was broke.

I spent a big chunk of the weekend watching TV footage, even if the lineup was a bit top heavy on ColdKeane tedium and all those weak new bands of the last couple of years. It was worth watching just to catch a glimpse of the newly reformed La's - one of my favourite bands. The singers voice was rough in the extreme, though. The White Stripes and Brian Wilson seemed pretty great.

I think I speak for all from ex-commie countries here.... WHAT is Glastonbury festival?

[Adamski]

Ceephax Acid Krew? Most of his stuff is out on vinyl and easily obtained on Soulseek.

Didja catch his brother Squarepusher while you were there? I sat up all night in the forlorn hope that the BBC would boardcast it on Three.

[Captain Mostly]

I didn't see square pusher... but I had planned to... but then I didn't really stick to any plan. I didn't see Kean OR Coldplay or ANY bands like that (although I DID glimps the first half of the White Stripes before moving on to see Simon Munnery elsewhere).

Jools Holland was BRILLIANT and if you see (or saw) any footage of it, I was dead near the front near a naked hippy! I don't particularly like the tunes on CD, but live it was the most exciting thing that happened at the whole festival.

As for those non-uk people, Glastonbury festival of contempory performing arts is just a wopping and totally unique festival of contempory performing arts. There's a lot of very normal chart bands play there, but it's mainly about brilliantly diverse acts (not just musical). It's just a right old knees up, and has an amazingly open and friendly atmosphere...

It's quite famous (although I expect not outside of the U of K)

[Layabout]

us australians know about it. Well at least the ones living here hehe... I saw a few aussie flags on the footage.

And why arent you going to brittens mostly???
