That's just depressing.

Apart from The Tears, so nice to see Anderson and Butler back on form. :notworthy:

I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.

Oh..EDIT. the first stage to start playing bands after the early mornings rain storm was....The John Peel tent...and on another main stage (pyramid maybe)...the first band to get their gear onstage and start playing were the Undertones :notworthy:

Yep - Paul heard the same thing - someone on the radio said that they woke up floating in a foot of water (how wrecked would you have to be to sleep through that much rain :lol: :lol: ).

See - we were clever when we went to Reading (I think we all know the year :lol: ) - we didn't have a tent; we slept in the car. So didn't matter how wrecked we were (and we were :lol: ) we wouldn't have floated away :D

Does anyone actually go to see the bands? If that's the best they've got to offer, I'd definitely stay in the beer tent.

Apart from Elvis of course. Cos he's King. But which one?

Yep, you can still have a wild time in the mud at Glasto, but it does make it harder to check out the more extreme edges of the festival, which often have been washed away by the time you find them anyway.

Funniest part of the Mudfest in 98 was the S**t-Wagon pumping it's contents into the dance tent rather than sucking the mud out. We gave it a miss after that. :lol: :lol: :notworthy: :urff:

No, I haven't. I take it I shouldn't bother...?

It seemed to me from the video of theirs I saw, that they were back to the old Suede swagger... all dubious encounters in underpasses and so forth :wink: rather than suntans and sandals.

What was all that about, Brett? :eek: :roll: :urff:

That 4 string geetar's sound is great! But I do like NO in general... it is very uplifting music. Shame that BBC2 only played their two songs. :?

I heard New Order on Radio 2 the other day. They were going to play Transmission and then their new single. They f**ked up a little, and played Love Will Tear Us Apart instead of Transmission, and despite Steve Wright wanting to play Transmission instead, he had to play the new single instead. Which was when I turned off the radio.

Bloody OI! She's amazing! Shame on you Blast, shame on you...

(Mind you, this is coming from a man who thinks Kasabian are something other than s**t pretentious Stone Roses rip-offs :innocent: , and to be fair Ms. Murphy has gone off the boil since her Moloko heyday).

Question: When are The Kills on today, and is there any possibility to watch/listen to it on this side of the water...
I can recieve bbc 1&2, plus bbc radio 2&3 via cable or whatever else via internet...

The only thing I've found about it (yet) is that they're on today :roll:

If anyone has got a clue: :notworthy: :D
