Glastonbury

[Pentridge]

Crusty, dogs on a string type people replaced with middle class glam perks and hipsters.

No thanks.

I'll watch it on TV.

Florence & the Machine? Just shove an owl in a wind tunnel, same thing.

Not been to Glasto since '99 as you have to pay to get in nowadays. I went 5 times in the 90's & never paid! Over the fence, under the fence, one year pretty much through the fence, piece of piss. One year we also successfully bunked the trains there & back too (SD ). Happy days.

I wouldn't like it now. I bet the art/craft and street-food stalls are now replaced by beard-oil boutiques and overpriced craft ales.

Back in the day the target market was the alternative scene in general & was a great mix of hippies, rockers, punks, indie-kids & grungers where as nowadays it's aimed at marketing execs from Battersea. Wouldn't enjoy it.

Haven't been since '97 and also have never paid.

Have also managed to get a whole sound system in there on numerous occasions with it running 24/7

used to be 1st stop Stoneh

Fair point about the sound. I heard a Hot Chip track on 6 Music this morning that sounded fantastic. Then watched it again online and it was really poor. Do they have separate feeds for TV and Radio?

Couldn't tell you. I paid no attention to this years annual hipster & marketing exec getaway other than Maid Of Ace's set, purely because I know them.

Right from the first verse I was fuming with the soundman! But then that's the problem with having been playing music for well over 2 decades, you get really anal about stuff like that. My better half can just listen to a piece of music whereas I'll analyse everything from the tempo, chord progression, sound levels, whether it's a single-coil or a humbucker being used on the guitar, etc.[/quote]
