Reckon if she did Tiger Feet by Mud the place would erupt.

Watching IDLES on bbc 4 now from earlier.

 

What a fucking band - just absolute powerhouses.

 

 

Good set, not seen energy like that since the birthday party 

[Bjornebye 34,378]

Primal Scream boss, as usual 

[Vincent Vega 5,731]

Best flag I’ve seen so far.

 

[Bjornebye 34,378]

Hahahaha Bobby Gillespie "Have a great weekend, don't get too fucked up, don't end up like us and Fuck the Tories" 

[John102 1,131]

The Four Tet set is decent.

[Vincent Vega 5,731]

Blossoms. In the name of fucking god. Utter shite.

I like this one. Sounds like summit the Coral would put out as a bside. 

[cloggypop 11,897]

I saw them supporting the Coral over here. 

[Bjornebye 34,378]

Blossoms are alright. Got a few good little songs, it would be silly to suggest otherwise. 

 

They had Mel C on stage with them today apparently though. Fuck sake. 

 

The Libertines played at midday, I haven't seen the set but fuck me they could have headlined this years ago if they didn't start shoving needles in their arms. Mind you, would the music have been as good if they hadn't?

Mel C’s voice is like nails on a blackboard.  Horrible!

Tried to watch Sam Fender but I thought the audio quality was terrible; Crowded House the same.

Inviting a load of people around isn’t going to make it any better mate. 

[Gnasher 2,841]

Journo writing this (a bit over the top) review of Sam Fender says he's heard a rumour Bruce Springsteen will be joining Macca on stage to do a turn tonight. I'm all in.

I think the above review was written by his agent.

[manwiththestick 5,348]

I don't understand the hype around Sam Fender, I don't know any of his songs but watched a bit last night and it was pretty boring, beige you may say.

 

Watched a couple of other acts on the BBC, there was this Sigrid lass on the John Peel stage  who was kind of alright, weirdly cute.

No sure, I know Putin threw them in jail for something. I think.  

He didnt catch the golden condom then?

[Gnasher 2,841]

Huey Lewis just played this on 6 music in readiness for the man, 'tingles' one of the great intro's,

He threw them in jail because he said the bass playing on their second album was apparently below standard and would undermine other Russian musicians to the eyes and ears of the rest of the world. Didn't want Russia to be shown in a bad light apparently.

Seun Kuti's set is on iPlayer and well worth a look

[cloggypop 11,897]

There's a Fela Kuti set up from 1984 that's definitely worth watching.

I've got her on now the iPlayer.

 

I'm a 40 year old bloke who likes loud guitars & aggression, so I was expecting not to like it, I don't get it all.

 

I could understand Lady Gaga, Beyonce or somebody will some big dance tunes or power ballads, this is just boring nonsense. Like Lana Del Rey with a bit more of a beat to it. 

 

The type of music shite cocktail bars play on a Tuesday afternoon.

[Creator Supreme 1,805]

Not really a music bloke so haven't seen much of this, did see the end of Sigrid's set. Wasn't impressed by the music, but Sigrid is a little darlin'!
