Was it a two-manner?
I saw them on LWJH and concluded there and then that Glasvegas are complete and utter shite!
I quite agree. Think the attendance was helped by the fact that there was only one other stage open and it was tipping down with rain.
Ypu really must get your Bolton-ism right DSB. It's "tippling down with rain", and don't forget "spitting", for when it starts.
Really, TD? I've only ever heard tipping. Anyways, I'm off out into the breach. Will report back...

I have to say that I was going to mention that, but then thought 'was it only us that said "Tippling down"?'

Right now, Benny Goodman is playing "Stardust" and Glen Miller was just "In the Mood" after Duke Ellington took "The "A" Train"

Well, Halliwell and Astley Bridge are a bit allied when it comes to defending correct language.

I was right so far about Glasto.

Watching it now, my wife and I are literally bored out of our brains and feeling very old.

What happened to the rock eh?

See, being an ABer, I've always said 'Tipping down' (note the non-use of L).

In my defence, my mums from Farnworth and my dad from Radcliffe, so this may be where the confusion arises.

Well, I'm actually from Sharples, ner-ner-ner. However, the 'little bit posher' ticket can't be played because mum's from Wigan and Dad was from Newton-le-Willows.

I always said 'tipping', and I'm Stoneclough born & (not in-)bred.

Watching Glasto on BBC3. Fratellis sounded alright. Agree about the line up. Fratellis and Editors aside, and someone I've never heard of called MGMT, everyone who's featured have been awfully insipid. Kate Nash - I would, but only if she kept that horrid media-chum Mockney mouth shut. Which would make foreplay rather difficult.

Mr Barnet of Sutton mentioned them about a week ago. On the back of that I've dug out a couple of things off t'interweb and they sound well worth it to me. Should I take the plunge?

Amy Winehouse interview on the Mandela gig. More fecked up than a fecked up person in feck*. Dead before 2010.

That bad? Crikey.

No link have you, Bobby?

I cannot stop listening to 'To Survive' by Joan As Police Woman. I mentioned that I was going to buy it, I have, and it's just stunning!

Well her performance 12 months ago at Glastonbury was awesome. In her interview tonight she was like a female Keith Richards. Later we saw her live performance and it was very shaky. I do worry for her.

Anyway...

Tonight I will be mostly listening to.....

Billy Talent - Red Flag

Didn't get to see MGMT, although they were playing approximately 50 yards from my tent. I was en route to We Are Scientists, who were lovely. Sinead O'Connor predictably committed festival suicide by spending the first 80% of her set doing new material. (Here I refer once more to my chum who so often shouts "Play The F*cking Hits!" that his friends made him a T-shirt bearing the slogan.) Frank Ferdinand would have ben a better bet, according to those who were there, but it was too far across a muddy site (which is drying rapidly in today's sunshiiiiiiiiiiine). Caught a brief earful of Dreadzone doing their party-dub thing to a surprisingly large crowd, then ambled past the masterful Jimmy Cliff holding thousands in the palm of his hand, then watched some quite gobsmacking circus acts fling themselves around the room with gay abandon.

Highlight, though, was discovering the Welsh Oggies. Four quid for a pasty that's bigger than your head. Marvellous.

Mrs B's birthday today so I'll deferentially go where she wants, but luckily she's also a fan of Elbow and Super Furry mainman Gruff Rhys. I'm also intrigued to se if Amy manages to turn up - Doherty did, so there's hope yet. Might also try to squeeze in MGMT (playing again on a different stage), Reverend And The Makers, Carter USM's JimBob and, of course, The Proclaimers...

"Many Rivers To Cross" is amongst my all time favourites.

Worth youtubing "MGMT Time to Pretend"...I liked that song

I saw Jimmy in '03, it was nice.

DBS. Watch Black Mountain, I think they're on sometime tomorrow in the early afternoon on the 'other' stage. They are absolutely phenomenal.

MGMT remind me of the Flaming Lips, Todd Rundgren and the Stones all folded together. They're a bit more miss than hit though, sadly.

Ta for the tip. Care to describe them? There's nowt else on bar Gilbert O'Sullivan, but as tomorrow's the only day I get off, I may be ambling through Glades and Parks and Trash Cities and the like...

Like sultry psychedelic folk with classic rock styling.

Really stunning stuff, In The Future is my album of the year by a long shot so far.

Hell, that sounds good. Just thoroughly enjoyed Neon Neon, Super Fury mainman Gruff Rhys's electronica side-project about the life of John DeLorean. No, wait, come back.

Course, the sun shining helps enormously...
