Idles phoning it in as usual
Saw Idles at YNot a few years ago - load of shouty crap. Don’t get the adoration of them.
Supergrass are still great.
Sarah Cracknel / St Etienne are bloody awful, like watching your pissed aunt singing and dancing at a wedding.
Bonobo about to come on the West Holts stage on red button. Make sure you tune in (saw him in Leeds last month, bloody great).
Thought supergrass were good. Enjoyed confidence man, seem a lot of fun. Missed Sleaford mods but will catch up with that.
Watched Rufus Wainwright this afternoon, got no beef with him, he always seems quite funny and interesting, but man his music is dreary!
Saw a bit of wet leg, not really sure they live up to the hype, they going to end up a one hit wonder?
Don't get the interest in wolf Alice either.
+1 to Bonobo, only just aware of them following of all things a BBC news article about the organ at the RAH but loving it. I missed dance music in my earlier years - being a goth / indie guitar boy - but this is blissful.

I was very impressed when i saw them with DezB recently.
Thanks tuboflard!
Happy to help! Look them up on KEXP YouTube channel too, a couple of great sets on there too.

heathens 🤬
Hmm, Jesus and Mary Chain vocals are fairly freeform in places.
Still like them mind.

My comment was tongue in cheek - I'd describe them as 'committed' for sure. Brilliant, shouty political crap, and I love it.

Better than I remembered. And the set is about 3x longer too.
Watching JaMC on iPlayer now.
Guess you have to be a fan, it's dull as ditchwater and just comes across as a load of old blokes on stage who are well past it.
If I'd dropped into the crowd to have a watch/listen, I'd have wandered off after 5 minutes
Struggled to actually find anything I wanted to watch tbf - 6 music's coverage that I've heard so far and what's on the iPlayer are very uninspiring
On the big screen and project and hifi now. Bonobo are this years find for me so far.
Missed Sleaford mods but will catch up with that.
I'll be seeing them in 4 weeks, if there's no-one better on at the same time
shouty political crap
Eurghh 😉
If you like political crap, but with a bit of decent (folk/rock) music - Ferocious Dog. They aren't at Glastonbury, but I'll be seeing them in 4 weeks too. They are ex miners and get a bit whiny about Thatcher, but I like their tunes - will probably have plenty to say about the current climate when I see them

no apologies for repost then......
nice funky Khruangbin interlude while waiting for Primal Scream.

And Jim kept asking for the vocals to be turned up and the guitar down...surely should be the other way round

They where at Whatstandwell Festival a few years back - that little barn has never rocked so much!! Ruddy crazy!
Will be seeing then at R&B festival.
Is Bobby Gillespie stoned/other?

First unsigned band to sell out Rock City a few years ago I think - we were there, seen them a few times. They did a pared down acoustic set at a mates birthday at Barringtons before they hit the scene properly
Jeez what's happened to primal scream. This is unlistenable
Is Bobby Gillespie stoned/other?
Does the Pope wear a funny hat? Of course he is, it's Bobby Gillespie.
OK so far, I'm encouraged by the suit and the mass of mike stands behind the bassist, that we're going to segue into a Screamadelica second half. The gospel choir will mask Bobby's always sketchy vocals and it'll be brilliant.
Let's hope so
Jeez what’s happened to primal scream. This is unlistenable
It's horrendous aint it?
Are they playing new songs? I'm not a big follower, but haven't recognised a single tune yet. Open with a banger you flippin idiots
Yup, Primal Scream just awful. Billy Eilish sounds superb though.
don’t think I’ve turned 6 on since they had Kae (nee Kate) Tempest standing in the other night. Eurghh
You should probably listen to them. Absolutely stunning lyricist. Peoples faces moves me to tears, every time I hear it.
Sounds bloody awful. Edit - took to long to type it, so to be clear, I mean primal scream! And they're getting worse!
Never really given foals much time before, but doing in and out now and they sound pretty tight 👌

Lord knows. Recognizerd (but never liked) swastika eyes at the start, the rest is...challenging

Just not my thing, sorry
It’s horrendous aint it?
The musicianing isn't bad at all, Bobby's always had a ropy voice.
Open with a banger you flippin idiots
Swastika Eyes is a banger from 20+ years ago, I enjoyed it.
But I know what you mean.
Open with a banger you flippin idiots
Open with ROCKS, dont make it hard for yourselves
Not sure they've got the vocal mix right, but OTOH......
edit - and that's adjusted by chorus 2
Watched bonobo who were brilliant and now onto four tet who is one of my all time favs live, shame the chem bros couldn’t make it for the festival as that would be a highlight,
Thought JAMC were decent, but then I have really strong rose tinted earbuds as far as they're concerned.
Only sampled brief bits of others. Not really interested in Billie Eilish.
For me personally, this year's line up is firmly on the meh side of interesting.
They should cancel the other headliners now, save themselves the embarrassment of trying to follow that
And that was only the Friday!
Great day of music. JAMC & Billy Eilish the highlights so far for me. Storming performances.
Primal scream all is forgiven 🙂
Will catch up with their set next week… seeing them live in a few weeks time.
Primal scream all is forgiven 🙂
I wouldn't say forgiven - I had to sit through the first half of the set. But yeah, they've pulled it round
If not quite pulled out of the fire, at least moved to the embers.
I just don’t get it, Billy Eilish, Foals then Primal Scream.
I mean WTF is anyone moaning about, incredible music, just incredible. Anyone who isn’t in awe should just keep quiet.
ThNk Christ for BBC, and 6music.
Not my sort of music, apart from primal scream in their heyday but each to their own
Dub War though! You know what time it be be be
I fancied a bit of FST Boy Slim last night but they weren’t broadcasting from the Sonic stage on iPlayer. 🙁
