Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[bouncer_the_dog]

bouncer's just complaining he wasnt rung up by Eavis himself to check he'd got a ticket.

I had a weird and vivid dream last night where I got to the gate and hadn't got my ticket, but luckily Michael Eavis was there and he sorted me out..

 

[belboid]

 

[absinthe pirate]

Sweet, I've been listening to him more than anything else of late...

This is shaping up to be the best lineup in years IMO

Bugger, does this mean I'm actually going to have to get off my arse and move around, rather than just crashing out in the Jazzworld field?

Ha ha i'm hoping he'll be on the accoustic stage, then i can just stay there most of the time

 

[Looby]

broken family band confirmed!

I've never seen them or heard any of their stuff. I was going to have a look on myspace but I think I'm going to wait and see them live. Then I will know what all the fuss is about.

 

[bluestreak]

my money has finally been taken. i AM going to the ball

[William of Walworth]

I'm not going, I've decided. The lineup is shit ......

 

[Looby]

Fucking Paul Fucking Weller!

 

[absinthe pirate]

Lol what's wrong with him

 

[Looby]

Lol what's wrong with him

Everything since The Jam.

 

[absinthe pirate]

Meh i can understand your reasons but i'm a sucker for some of his stuff, but i doubt the stuff i like will get played

I'll prolly be lost somewhere anyways!

 

[Final]

Meh i can understand your reasons but i'm a sucker for some of his stuff, but i doubt the stuff i like will get played

I'll prolly be lost somewhere anyways!

saw him in the Forum a few months ago. He was ok, but the Jam covers got a louder chear than any of his solo stuff.

 

[Skim]

[*]DJ 78 - http://www.myspace.com/dj78rpm

He sounds great

Using a pair of 1920's HMV wind-up gramophones and a big box of 78rpm shellac discs, DJ78 provides atmosphere and entertainment in equal measure.
Playing an eclectic selection of popular music from the dancebands of the 20's to the rock'n'roll pioneers of the 50's he makes any social gathering that little bit classier. Looking dapper in his dinner suit and dicky bow, DJ78 uses no electricity and brings his own fold-up table and chair.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Bluestreak, weren't we going to do something with gramophones at one point? Oh well, been beaten to it!

 

[Dubversion]

bah - Jools and Uneven Steven have been doing that for years, whoever this DJ78 interloper is grrr!

Always to be seen stumbling round the Greenfields with two gramophones in baby's prams, playing old jazz and stuff

 

[Dubversion]

fucking Tarantism.

why?

 

[Firky]

He sounds great

DJ Scotch Egg, man

Japanese gabber has never sounded so good! I think I will have to see him on my own, I doubt teapea will like him

*hint*

"Occasionally when playing live, DJ Scotch Egg runs around the stage with his loudspeaker or microphone screaming gibberish, shouting obscenities or something related to Kentucky Fried Chicken. he usually ends the show by throwing scotch eggs at the audience.

Some of notable contributions with other artists include Ove-Naxx, Hrvatski, Mike Paradinas, Duracell, Bong-Ra, Germlin, The Pipettes and The Go! Team."

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

DJ Scotch egg. I was told by a couple of people I'd like him and think he was funny.

I didn't, and he isn't, bloody awful shite

 

[gininteacups]

haha i saw scotch egg at supersonic at the custard factory in birmingham last year. i thought he was wicked.

not sure if i'll have chance to see him at glasto though. anyone going to supersonic this year? mogwai are headling.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Is it this Sunday that the extra tickets go on sale?

 

[crank_girl]

Is it this Sunday that the extra tickets go on sale?

That's right - 9am on the phones.

 

[moose]

Smokey Robinson is..... alive???

I'd love to see Iggy, but even he ain't worth braving the hellhole that is the Other Stage.

 

[Tort]

I've spent today at home feeling sorry for myself & going through all the MySpace links Firky put up. If I see nothing else at Glasto this year I have GOT to see the Voodoo Trombone Quartet!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I'd love to see Iggy, but even he ain't worth braving the hellhole that is the Other Stage.

Bjork however, is

 

[Lord Camomile]

I've seen Bellowhead several times over the last couple of summers & had a good listen to the album too. I'm still not sure I understand what all the fuss is about.

Well I can't speak for others but I've got the album and I just find it very enjoyable. I'm hoping to get some proper folky dancing in, hopefully with company but if needs be I shall dance alone...!

I'll prolly be lost somewhere anyways!

Stop saying stuff like this, or I'm going to tie you to one of the speaker stands at the Pyramid stage and do the damn festival on my own. I'll make sure you have enough pancakes and cider though.

Bjork however, is

I want to rub her nose

 

[Skim]

 

[Velouria]

oh my oh my

Today for the princely sum of £20 I obtained ...

... a mini-DV camcorder in working order!!!!!!

(No it isn't stolen ... work surplus )

So ... I will be bringing it along. Just ordered two huge batteries for it for the princely sum of £35

Roll on Glastonbury The Movie 2007

 

[madamv]

Hmmm, I dont know if I shall be going to see Bjork again. She was fab in 1995, right time, right place.

I fancy doing a bit more comedy this year. Can anyone recommend someone to check out?

 

[Magic Sam]

I fancy doing a bit more comedy this year.

Putting your own tent up then?

Watching sparklefish trying to pull a pint?
