Glastonbury... anyone else catching up with the coverage?

[MontyVeda]

Anoushka Shankar.... captivating.
Christine & the Queens.... kept skipping through it, not my thing.

Sigor Ros had a fascinating light show... and i'd always assumed it was lady delivering their ethereal and uninterpretable vocals.

I felt that Underworld underwhelmed until they did Rez and Cowgirl.

Grimes.... mimes?

I thought that the only "complete" coverage at Glastonbury was..........MUD

Saint Etienne... they certainly sound better on CD than they do on stage.

We just tried St Etienne, a bit past their use by date.

Have a look at their film Heima on Youtube. The vocals are nonesence a la Cocteau Twins.

Did you see this wonderful set of statistics?

Stats: 1 in every 150,000 Icelandic people have scored against England. 1 in 60,000 are in Sigur Ros. 3 in every million are Bjork #EURO2016

Also 1 in every 2,000 males aged 20-40 are in their football team.

nah, the music stands up but they're just not a good live act... I remember thinking the same when they first played Glasters in the mid 90s.

I was refering to the performance, not the songs. They seemed to be just going through the motions.

Precisely... they're not a good live act, never have been (although i've only seen them 'telly' live). "past their use by date" seemed a bit unfair
