Glastonbury 2024

Watching PJ Harvey now. She’s got some lovely furniture on stage with her.

I love her. It’s a while since seen her live in person, rather than on TV. Much more … subdued isn’t quite the right word… these days, but still fabulous. And she looks no different than when I first saw her in the early 90s!

 

[Sweet FA]

No idea. Watch Jessie Ware tomorrow for pop music how it should be done.

Dua Lipa is pretty much the definition of how pop music 'should' be done

I flicked onto her for a second and she was sampling White Town - Your Woman

Love Again (2020). A banger I'd suggest.



Mrs FA was obsessed with this tune around that time too:



I'm not bothered tbh but she's good at her thing.

 

[Numbers]

Watching Cyndi Lauder at the moment, she looks incredible.

If by pop music, you mean the plasticky stuff that is played on repeat all day on commercial radio, then I agree.

 

[nottsgirl]

Iplayer is really hard to navigate. Stuff says it's live, when it's not.

 

[Saffy]

I loved the Sugababes and Dua Lipa last night.

 

[nottsgirl]

I'm just watching Soccer Mom, never heard of them but they're pretty good.

Yeah it is a bit of a mess, couldn;t rewind anything last night.

Yeah, it’s rubbish. At one point Mrs LR thought PJ Harvey and Dexys were duetting. Which I’d have watched, to be fair. (Although what I saw of Dexys was very low energy and Kevin Rowland looked really ill. I stopped watching because it felt uncomfortable and intrusive).

 

[plurker]

Every IDLES performance is better than the last. This is fucking superb. Not sure what I can follow it with

Bought ticket for London show in November.
On the Saturday of my OHs 50th birthday weekend. Have to deal with that later I guess

I'm going on the Friday.

[Johnny Vodka]

Fuck, yeah! The Fat Whites!

 

[starfish]

Am enjoying a bit of Keane just now.

 

[plurker]

I'm going on the Friday.

Might have to swap with ya if I get a kicking

 

[spitfire]

Might have to swap with ya if I get a kicking

Do you know what, I could actually do that as I am going on my own anyway but it's Mini Fire's birthday on the Saturday, she is 12 though, not 50.

I'll know nearer the time if it is feasible so don't discount it yet.

 

[May Kasahara]

Remi Wolf is great! Really enjoying her set, clearly the crowd did too.

 

[nick h.]

I couldn't stand Dua Lipa's try-hard pouting so switched over to the West Holts stage. A big faux pas. The Grauniad: "Jungle are still playing on West Holts but we haven’t, and won’t, dwell on them." Fuck off, I liked it. But I'm nearly as old as Cyndi Lauper.

 

[tommers]

When we saw Olivia Rodrigo she was supporting and I think the girls in front were more excited about her than OR.

 

[May Kasahara]

I liked her debut album but had kind of forgotten about her it had fallen down the bottom of my Spotify list. What a great performer.

 

[starfish]

And now Bloc Party. Proper noughties

 

[dessiato]

Watching Paul Heaton atm I used to like Housemartins and Beautiful South. They were local to me, and popular at my alma mater when I was a student.

 

[High Voltage]

So far, apart from first night fireworks and probably an unauthorised sound system playing after curfew we've not really heard anything from Pilton

There's always tonight mind

Even the celebrity helicopters seem down on previous years

 

[colacubes]

TV highlights yesterday - surprisingly the 6 year old and 9 year old were absolutely mesmerised by PJHarvey in ethereal mode. I assumed she’d be “boring Mum music” but no. They both loved Sugababes (quite right too), and the 9 year old is in love with Anne Marie We tried Seventeen to see if they were any good but meh.

After the smalls were dispatched to bed I really enjoyed LCD Soundsystem. Also caught first half of hour of Fontaines DC who were good but the mix sounded really lacking bass on TV. Hopefully it was better in person. I also realised that they were all dressed as exactly the sort of boys I would have lusted after when I was 16, which just shows how fashion goes generationally as that was 30 years ago

Jungle are much better festival fodder than fucking Dua Lipa. Some actual jungle would be even better.

She's fantastic. I've seen her play tiny polytechnics in front of a couple of dozen people (a gig ddraig was at I've since learned ) to being the main event at The Eden Project and she's never disappointed.

I don't recognise a lot of this newer material but I'll check her new record out on the strength of it.

She was playing Shepherds Bush Empire once and I couldn't get a ticket. Unexpectedly I came into some cash so went down and saw what the touts were charging. Gritted my teeth and paid 70 quid and that was just for a seat upstairs. The atmosphere up there wasn't really my thing with everyone sitting politely tapping their feet and whatnot but she was great. Stories From The City ... was out so she was playing great stuff. I wanted to dance but I would've been the only person doing so up there and I couldn't bring myself to embarrass myself. However, when I'm slightly emboldened with drink and the opening riff from Sheela-Na-Gig kicks in, my inhibitions fuck off and I duly jump up and go mental, it seems.

This didn't go unnoticed on the stage as she clocked me doing it and gave me this massive smile. Needless to say I was all for ages afterwards.

I'm enjoying this Glastonbury set. Words That Maketh Murder on just now. Great stuff.

 

[tommers]

Turns out I do have a pop limit and it is camila cabello.

This is not good.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

FWF - fucking great
Waiting for The Streets now, then Jessie.

 

[Spandex]

I've watched Dua Lipa's set now. I really liked it. She's got some TUNES

Dunno what grumpy old men are grumping about. Better than Coldfuckingplay headlining for a fifth fucking time.
