That's a terrible quotation ....
Well I think that ME will find, unless the festie from 2007 on is changed beyond recognition, that a very large proportion of the Glasto audience will defy his efforts to broaden and blandify the audience beyond a certain point.
Of course so many of the trends towards mainstreamness have already happened
BUT!!!

Tort is an evil troll. I'm going to set him in a pit of mud with ernestolynch and sell tickets to a paying audience ...
That one had me going, I have to admit. Looked frighteningly plausible ....

Yes they're touring this summer, my mate is booked to do the sound for it.
Gigs like this are strictly for fans those, as the versions are a bit croaky...
still, it'll be better than van morrison (miserable fucker)... he has a stopwatch counting down on stage from 1hr30 to 0, and when it hits zero he's gone - no encore - no nothing - just cursing and swearing about how shit everyone else is. etc.,

I'll be deep in the land of nod or possibly just making my way back to my tent!

Both available last year - depends where you look.
the Killers? christ..
is it because all the trailer backstage are in alphabetical order and they didn't want to have to rearrange them?
i can think of no other reason why a band barely an album old (and not a very good album at that) headline Glastonbury...

In an interview with the Wells Journal, festival organiser Michael Eavis said none of the “big time” acts would confirm for the event, so he had to opt for a “second division” band.
This was on Gigwise earlier, hardly a ringing endorsement more like an apology.
Must admit I thought they were already playing or is that some other non entity?
No matter i'm sure there will be plenty of other acts to see Sunday night.
i suppose it was pretty short notice but even so..
we'd have done it.
or they could have got the Go! Team to headline. the sensible choice, for sure

Get there earlier than Thursday if at all possible ....

back in town
I've just had my last pay day before glastonbury, so am making a mental shopping list at the moment. Facinating stuff eh?
It's long been my view that lager is a bad drink for festival as it increases porta loo usage compared to spirits. So my liquids will be:
1 litre brandy
1/2 litre gin
1/2 litre vodka
medium bottle baileys (for nipping at during the long nights)
tonic
apple juice
cola
tomato juice with bloody mary mix
red bull concentrate (emergencies only)
I also have shares in a barrel of Thatchers
I don't tend to bring food, as I like to eat out. And I am camping in a roadie site this time with free food. But I always find it useful to bring a few gentle things to eat for those times when I can't leave the tent on account of not being able to walk or communicate properly:
rice pudding
malt loaf
scotch eggs
spaghetti hoops
canned peaches
Miscellaneous:
BIG FAT WOOL SOCKS
extra hot pants
baby wipes
lighter
spare lighter
extra spare lighter
100g tobacco
And of course there will have to be drugs:
1/2 oz ha$h ($kunk makes me go all shy)
20g mushrooms
1/2g mandy
I should probably think about getting a tent at some point too...
So does anyone else have an itinery and budget in place yet?
is it just me?
