BBC and Glastonbury

[glasgowcyclist]

Your logic, in each one of our exchanges.

I need more of a clue, sorry. And you haven’t explained the why.

I wonder which was which.

Personally I've never had much time for Neil Young, although he was popular with some people I knew at university so I did hear him rather more that I would have liked. I watched 5 minutes of him tonight before the excitement of loading the dishwasher lured me away. All a matter of taste.

Charlie xcx is new to me, I'll catch on iPlayer tomorrow.

I enjoyed Pulp and Ezra Collective earlier.

Absolutely, Neil Young has always been slightly polarizing, you either love his music slightly obsessively or find it a bit "meh".

Pulp were great, have to admit I was completely blown away by Self Esteem last night. Not usually my type of music but her set was really powerful.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

She's tremendous isn't she.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

See also Ezra Collective, great set and they were allowed to run way over time, which never happens at Glastonbury.

And tonight, on the old man shouts at clouds forum!

Better Glasto than the constant flipping footie obsession... or tennis or whatever other activity involving punting a ball about a field with painted lines on it. I quite like the vibe. If it was my money it'd probably be Download but it's ok. Currently quite enjoying Neil Young with a single malt. Never really caught his stuff before.

TBF on silent I also watched the England under 21s beat Germany in the European final, which was nice.

Deftones pulled out last minute so Ezra Collective were given more time and Skepta stepped in for a last minute slot.

Ah, makes sense thanks

I've patiently explained my position. You think there's a conspiracy of some kind. That's your prerogative, but I'm out, thanks.

Ah, I see you’ve edited your original response rather than respond to my subsequent post.

You haven’t ‘patiently explained ‘ anything and you don’t have enough information to know what I think.

Enjoy the rest of the Glastonbury show. Goodnight.

Why?

... as you might say

Can I recommend the How Do You Cope podcast. It’s such a revealing discussion.

I'm definitely in the meh camp with Neil Young. One of my best mates at uni was a big fan but he never converted me.

Yeah Self Esteem set was great.

My wife is a big fan of Self Esteem (also of Kneecap btw but I'm steering clear of that subject) from the fact that she listens to a lot of Radio 6, which is also in Glasto-frenzy at the moment.

I was really enjoying Ezra Collective when I sat on the remote, changing channel and losing my live pause buffer. The firstest of first world problems

All good stuff but it still wouldn't persuade me to sleep in a tent.

 

[Glyno]

Neil Young's keyboard player looked like he wasn't used to being up so late on a Saturday night

 

[Animo]

Gave Neil Young 3 songs and then went to bed. Not a Saturday night main stage headliner IMO.

 

[Binky]

Not watched Neil Young or Charli XCX yet, will catch up later. Not a Young fan as such but as with most I like a couple of his songs.

Best so far at Glasto for me has been Alanis Morissette, I also thought Gary Numan was good although mid afternoon not really his slot. After dark would suit better but anyway.
Edit : I did like Wet Leg, they were good on Friday.
Pulp were OK but I'm not a fan. Brandi Caryle was just boring to me but all down to personal taste.
I don't think the headline acts have been as stellar as in past but again that is down entirely to personal taste.

One omission over the years is Mark Knopfler has never played there which is a shame, I'd definitely watch him.
