I'm knackered and just about to jump in the shower (much needed).

Was great. Much ruin. Photos to follow when I develop them and find a scanner (so ages away really).

Steve Lamacq's broadcasting the entire Radiohead glasto set tonight.

― leigh (leigh), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

He's actually just doing a skiffle version on his own ribcage.,

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

a skiffle version on his own ribcage = best thing ever

and don't go giving radiohead ideas ;)

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

''He's actually just doing a skiffle version on his own ribcage.,''

it would be a 'visually stimulating' version at the very least.

I am back, showered and about to go down the pub. It was mostly grebt but whoever did The Streets' sound needs a slap.

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I bet no one saw Nils Petter Molvaer and The Gathering ! did they?

the TV coverage was very poor: retro rock rubbish: Coral, Supergrass, The Thrills.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

they can only show what's there martian.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

It could have been worse, they could have shown DEADFISH.

blame the organisers then !

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

they showed kanda bongo man!! but only for one song

too right. we heard a track on jo wylie on the way back and you could make out the vocals and everything! bit of a pity that you couldn't hear a thing if you were actually there.

just had my first shower, now about to cut my hair and shower again. mmm. i love showers.

Best Glasto ever! Radiohead were amazing, I enjoyed REM's complete play-it-safe greatest hits set, couldn't get anywhere NEAR the dance tent for the Streets and went to see Doves who surprised me with how good they were... what was that piano-driven ravey thing they did?

With the exception of the two songs everyone already knew, Electric 6 were k-rub... but The Darkness - fucking brilliant. Everyone in the past who told me they were rubbish, I am never listening to a word you say again.

Also, before anyone says anything to the contrary, THE RAPTURE SOUNDED FUCKING HORRIBLE AND ANYONE WHO CLAIMS OTHERWISE WAS ON SOME AMAZING DRUGS.

With the exception of briefly meeting Starry and Alix during The Darkness, I spotted no Interweb mentalists whatsoever. Although this may be because it was far too hot for the Dance Tent for most of the weekend, and I spent much of my time wandering round the Green Fields or getting twonkered at the two main stages.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, the award for Ligger Of The Festival goes to Har Mar Superstar, who appeared to be everywhere over the course of the weekend. What a man.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:22 (twenty-two years ago)

this picture's kinda funny:

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Pete's "I've just heard that a GIANT has attacked Glasto and eaten the Sugababes and crushed hundreds of others - told you it would be rubbish!" post suddenly doesn't seem so funny.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH BEING STUCK NEAR THE PYRAMID STAGE FOR HALF AN HOUR OF THEIR SET UPSET ME

ALL MY FRIENDS CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION EVEN THOSE WHO THOUGHT THEY LIKED RADIOHEAD.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:35 (twenty-two years ago)

The Darkness roXored so hard they made everyone else seem like the puny earthlings they were.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:38 (twenty-two years ago)

On the brighter side of things, THE DARKNESS, Echo & the Bunnymen, REM, Radio 4 and especially Arthur Lee were all quite wonderful.

The Flaming Lips was a great event, because you could tell that lots of people who didn't know them were really won over, but I was stuck on my own and tired and it was only She Don't Use Jelly and a tear-stained Waiting For Superman that really did it for me.

But yeah, best of all was sitting up on the hill through Saturday night in love with everyone. I want to be a hippy so bad.

Sorry I missed everyone after Friday. I lost my phone till Sunday. Thanks to an angel called Helen for handing it in, and the Orange staff for being so amazingly helpful about it.

Did I imagine the 'Saddam Hussein has been captured in Crete making a phone call to his lover' news item?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I just got my exam results!!! 2 firsts!!! I am beyond happy; I did next to no work and thought I was going to get 2 2:2s at best.

YES!

― Cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry; I'm bursting and had to shout that out somewhere. This is a less than relevant thread, I know.

― Cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

WERE THE EXAMINERS ON SOME AMAZING DRUGS?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay cozen! well done dude!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:58 (twenty-two years ago)

The Rapture were terrific - bracing afternoon guitar screech, exactly what I needed after a far too hot and soporific Saturday. Easily the least trebly and 'chilled' thing on offer all weekend and much the better for it (OK excepting John Cale's performance of "Ph34r").

The Darkness were great as everyone has now realised.

How come the same mixes sounded tired and cynical during the Vice party on Friday night and life-affirming pop joy during 2 Many DJs set on Saturday afternoon?

Actually though the best thing I saw were JUNIOR SENIOR! Hooray! Senior is my festival hero and the kids loved it!

Disappointments (though still mostly OK): S'babes, Skatalites, Strebts (except "The Irony Of It All" video and the closing "Weak Become Heroes" which triumphed over the awful sound)

Well done Cozen!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry that should say 'most trebly and least chilled'

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Ian McCullock was totally coked off his tits, wasn't he? Yabbering on about Heskey being rubbish. "Anyone here from Newcastle or Gateshead? Yer city's shite!" I enjoyed the Bunnymen much more than I expected to.

Also, another highlight was Junior Senior absolutely rocking the New Bands Tent with their Twist and Shout/Push It cover. Sugababes were disappointing, the sound didn't do them any favours and they played far too many ballads. Also, Keisha was the only one with a good enough voice to cut it live, I thought.

I heard the Saddam rumour. I also heard a rumour that there's been some shagging in BB, but dismissed this one as too preposterous to be true. No one believed me when I said Denis Thatcher was dead, though.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:00 (twenty-two years ago)

(I'm telling you, N., they must have been. I did an essay about Breach of the Peace which opened, and I don't lie:

"Let's move" (They do not move. They are arrested for Breach of the Peace.)

'Jokes' in essays: dud.

― Cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:00 (twenty-two years ago)

well done cozen's results

(let's do this properly ppl) (well done everyone making it back from glastonbury, yr shenanigans are noted)

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I also heard a rumour that there's been some shagging in BB

Yes! That Tania had 'bunked up' (?) with Gae, 48 hours after he had called her a pig. This precipitated much discussion about how appallingly wrong all our seduction techniques were.

Are you all going to tell me this isn't true either? Q magazine can fuck off.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Gay (Bar to follow).

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Lisa came in on Saturday night and shagged everyone. Much better than Glasto.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

TicoTico OTM except

The Rapture were terrific - bracing afternoon guitar screech

They're clearly very good at what they do: theyt reminded me a lot of that "in the beginning there was rhythm" compilation. Unfortunately I hated it (apart from the pop bits, which they're uninterested in).

How come the same mixes sounded tired and cynical during the Vice party on Friday night and life-affirming pop joy during 2 Many DJs set on Saturday afternoon?

A: they didn't, Vice party was classic.

Actually though the best thing I saw were JUNIOR SENIOR! Hooray! Senior is my festival hero and the kids loved it!

'raaay! Tico's take the first step towards Moldy Peaches - lovin'!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the answer to the Vice Party conundrum was:

a) I wasn't totally knackered at 2 Many DJs

b) 2 Many DJs didn't have a cunt in a fake kung fu headband harshing my buzz.

c) Vice are scared of playing shite. (This is true of 2 Many DJs too, but less so.)

How is Bez going mental to "House Of Jealous Lovers" not a pop bit!!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:38 (twenty-two years ago)

What has happened to Tico? What kind of language is
"a cunt in a kung fu headband HARSHING MY BUZZ"

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Although I think the piss-poor sound on the Other Stage really didn't help, the think about The Rapture is that for all the hype on ILM and elsewhere, they just sounded like a really really lame indie band with some half-arsed stabs at house influences thrown here and there without ever being convincing. It didn't work as indie music (mostly because of that bloke's fucking awful voice) and it certainly didn't cut it as dance music.

Which is a shame because I think House of Jealous Lovers is still a great tune, but even that sounded pretty lousy live. I'm still interested in hearing the album but that performance = dud.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought they sounded very good and different - a world away from the usual indie generica on offer all weekend, much more minimal, rhythmic and nasty-sounding, and if you didn't like his voice live then don't get the record cos it works much less well there - onstage it really blended with the guitar to make big sheets of ear-scouring treble. They're not trying to be house music, I've realised, more the cheap hammering rhythms of early 80s (quelle surprise) synth indie like DAF, Soft Cell, Fad Gadet, Yello etc. I think it was mental putting them on the Other Stage not New Bands, though, where the more enclosed atmosphere would have suited them a lot more.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I missed the performance at Glastonbury (well, I heard it from my tent when recovering from sunstroke) but in a small club gig they are absolutely fantastic.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:45 (twenty-two years ago)

(NB Matt I was the only one out of the ppl I was with who really liked it, I think. Actually maybe Steve did.)

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Freaky Trigger wants to exploit your Glasto memories!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:49 (twenty-two years ago)

everyone had fun. nice.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, my appreciation of The Ratpure has been vastly diminished after seeing a band called The Robocop Krauss a few weeks ago who also did the whole punk funk Gang Of Four/DAF/punk-funk thing far better. Same sort of thing, only with big riffs, more incessant pounding drumming and big slabs of Farfisa over the top, lovely. *Remembers to try and track down their records* I think another part of the problem was that I found them a lot more generic than a lot of people.

I've also realised that the otherwise rubbish and completely misnamed Thrills have one really, really good song. Something about a one horse town.

I thought De La Soul on the Friday afternoon were great. They made the sun come out! Inspired piece of booking.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, DLS were prime festie goodness. Having Mogwai on afterwards was utterly insane though. Talk about buzz harshing.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 10:01 (twenty-two years ago)

NOTE TO ORGANISERS NEXT YEAR - Please give the DJs on the Main Stage some records other than one Des'Ree single and that New Radicals song. Please.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

And turn the sound up in the Dance Tent as well. And put the Glade back the way it was before. And stop the police from going into the Stone Circle and harshing everyone's buzz.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Teh TV coverage is obviously limited to the main stages with camera set ups, so there's loads of stuff that the TV watching public never really see.

I liked the way Yes played a load of bad songs early on to get all the casualyl interested to bugger off so the real fans could get down the front and admire Rick Wakeman's 10 keyboards and the abss players triple headed bass. Hilarious fun.

Nils Peter Molvaer was almost entirely empty, I think the rain was at least partially responsible.

I reckoned the Streets would be disasterous as if Mike Skinner had all weekend to get fucked up he was bound to do so. I thought I saw him at the stone circle for sunrise on sunday morning - but I probably imagined that.

― tigerclawskank, Tuesday, 1 July 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

The one Streets number I caught on the TV looked good to me, though it seems that the sound wasn't good live. I watched many hours of the BBC coverage, and nary a mention of De La Soul, let alone clips. No Blackalicious either - anyone see them?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw some De La Soul but miles away on the Pyramid stage it didn't have much atmosphere and they didn't seem particularly interesting so we left.

― tigerclawskank, Tuesday, 1 July 2003 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, it wasn't very thrilling.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 12:42 (twenty-two years ago)

get your hands onna some darkness tickets muthafuckers ;) i have!

i thought the rapture got better as they went along, the last one (house of jealous lovers, i assume) was rocking, they seem to owe a lot to talking heads to my mind (i have never heard any of the other bands mentioned above), and anyway, THEY HAD BEZ ON STAGE!!

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

i enjoyed de la soul! the slow alphabet thing was a great what-the-fuck festival moment.

the rapture were fantastic i thought, i mean, bez on air guitar!!!!

and yeah the streets' sound was pretty poor but that didn't stop everyone in my corner of the dance tent going mental and singing along and all of that.

anyway the best thing all weekend was GRINGO SKA in the avalon cafe friday night, they played again sunday on the lost stage but i missed them. they should be headlining the pyramid next year!

― pete b. (pete b.), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Did anyone else see Leningrad Cowboys? Fuck me that was poor.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

also what the EFF was going on with all the flags????

you couldn't see the stage at all for the m*nics (could still hear it though) and those fucking G*Y B*R banners...

wolves flag, you have so much to answer for...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Flags vs Pigeons/Snakes/Psychedelic Ducks on sticks: FITE!

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

don't forget the flamingo, the heron, the pingu and the hulk on sticks...

i understand it was some sort of Doves thing...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the Ducks On Sticks may have been the work of Lemon Jelly fans.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I accosted a pigeon fancier and he blamed Doves.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

The Rapture were brilliant Matt you mentalist!

I thought they were the best band of the weekend by miles and miles, I didn't enjoy any other band really at all.

Other highlights, Simon Jaxx's reggae set on Thursday in the Crown, Jacques Lu Cont camping up the dance tent on Saturday, Plump DJs on Friday, but best of all and loathe as I am to say it.

2 MANY DJS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never laughed, danced, or hugged random strangers as much in my life, part of this is drug related but nonetheless. At one point I was laughing so hard at the brilliance of it all I had to phone someone so I wouldn't appear a mentalist. Note:this was in the urinals past the bridge.

Other different highlights "yo I just took some ecstacy, dick, I'll meet you at the gay bar", meeting Tom Chemical Brother randomly and talking nonsense to him, Audio Bullys, the Lock.

WAHEY I FEEL SO AWFULLY SAD.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 19:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Ronan, was it you who came up to me in the Glade at about midnight on Saturdayand said 'LOOK AT THE SKY MAN' ?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't think so, if so I don't remember it. I was shouting "king me" for a while for some reason, dont think i shouted that though.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

hahaha, King Ronan

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I meant "king me" in the draughts sense, steve! Also "mule" was shouted alot as a private (read as crap) joke between me and my friends, it's been a joke we've had for years which was heightened recently when my friends dad was doing the crossword and called out "dave a stubborn animal with 4 letters? what could that be" and then proceeded to shout the answer with my friend.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 20:14 (twenty-two years ago)

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I've just remembered abt the experimental monkey music in the glade on Saturday. This was most definitely a bad thing.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 20:29 (twenty-two years ago)

i am unsure how experimental monkey music could be a bad thing.

perhaps i should have gone to glastonbury after all

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:33 (twenty-two years ago)

but then you would never have posted all those wonderful threads lat weekend.

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 08:08 (twenty-two years ago)

It was a bad thing because I was fucked and needed to dance right then and the experimental monkey music was completely lacking in yer repetitive beats.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 08:25 (twenty-two years ago)

photos are back - less ruin than expected (although anyone pictured dancing around holding the stereo above their head on sunday night might disagree).

Oi Ricky - stop harshing my buzz.

― Experimental Monkey (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 08:33 (twenty-two years ago)

did anyone see Warp in the glade?

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 08:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I did. Or at least the bit from about 2130 to 0230. It was pretty good. Plaid were ace, AFX started off great but played a very short set which wandered off into undanceability at the end.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Nobody appears to have mentioned that 2manydjs was AN INDIE DISCO EXTRAVAGANZA

― Alan BuzzHarshener (Alan), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

You are taking a very rockist approach to the definition of an indie disco.

i didnt know it had ever been suggested that 2manydjs were anything other than that?

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Two INDIE DISCO EXTRAVAGANZAS in one week Alan, you have been spoiled.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

but only one played Fools Gold, can you guess which?

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Well we didn't play no steenking Stone Roses so - I guess that would be the Glasto indie disco.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

oh dear. I had forgotten that. thanks

"Cats is crap"

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Well I define indie discos by the vibe and clientele as much as the records being played.

Best food at the festival?

The hog roast was k-num. ppl (inc me) were keen on the tartiflette and sossidge.

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Pie from the pie stall called Pie (ie not the square pies) was very tasty indeed. The goat curry I had from the place in the One World field was good as well.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Hog Roast also the exception to the rule: they sold Coca-Cola.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:57 (twenty-two years ago)

i find jacket potatoes with chilli and cheese always seem to taste 100000 times better than normal at Glastonbury

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Organic cola is muck.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 10:18 (twenty-two years ago)

What a shame Tom Archer's organic sausage stall only existed on radio... but you know, The Archers' version of Glastonbury was so darn authentic, I felt like I was really there.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 10:35 (twenty-two years ago)

They were. For no obvious reason. (Except freebie tix).

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 10:48 (twenty-two years ago)

The organic bakery roxx, u r all going to get botulism.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 10:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, I have decided that Cornish Pasties may well be the ultimate festival food. They're relatively cheap, reasonably filling, easy to walk around with and, crucially, you can usually get away without touching any part of them with your filthy festival disease-laden hands.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 10:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I second that. The veggie ones were good too.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 10:59 (twenty-two years ago)

jacket spuds i tell thee

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:04 (twenty-two years ago)

ah yes, tartiflette, that's what it's called, well done (it was tartuffe in my head, but that's a play by moliere).

NOTHING beats the yorkshire pie and pea stall though, £3.50 for the most comforting meal imaginable, mmmmmmm...

also, in other news, NME have printed their aerial picture of the festival back to front, which was rather confusing for about ten seconds til i realised what they'd done...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:23 (twenty-two years ago)

There was also a pasta stall in the One World Field that was amazing - gorgeous red wine pasta sauce, for about £3.00, or whatever the old hippy was selling it for at that moment (it seemed to fluctuate depending).

I first went there on Thursday night, and the conversation ran thus:

Me: "Red wine pasta please."
Him: "How hungry are you?"
Me: "Very."
Him: "Righty-ho." (Proceeds to pile the plate up exceedingly high to my great joy.

Incidentally, a friend of mine drove home after The Rapture on Sunday only to stop at a service station and bump into the entire NME staff on the way home, all apparently going home on a big NME bus. Their review of Sunday night's entertainment should be interesting...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Tell me more about Arthur Lee!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:29 (twenty-two years ago)

He played the whole Forever Changes in order and was FUCKING WONDERFUL.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Did he have the backing horns? Ugh. He was supposed to play in Boston in March but didn't.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Backing horns + strings - shedloads of people on stage actually, and he made far, far better use of that many musicians that the bloody Polyphonic Spree.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Cross post: He had everything (strings, horns, great band). But most importantly he had himself. God he was wonderful. So fucking lithe, cool and voice better than ever. When he sang 'served my time, served it well' it was total shivers. A magical, magical hour.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I was amazed how small the crowd was for Love - where were all the hippies?!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

The Q magazine poster inside that thing they were flogging at the gates has only one decent angle, and neither of the Irish Contingent's sites were visible.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm extremely jealous. Apparently at the UCLA show Johnny Echols made a guest appearance.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 11:50 (twenty-two years ago)

thoughts :

* flaming lips - now there's an hour i'll never forget
bandf of the fest just edging r.e.m.

* wasn't there a huge row after warp in the glade ?
first (while crossing 2 somewhere else) we heard somebody playing
these dying cow noises, then we heard what sounded like somebody
berating someone then 'f*ck off and go to bed then' and
'you can't play this!!' and other argy bargy.

* shook mikey skinner's hand and he was nice/friendly

* the camden lock tavern tent - how come it wasn't more rammed ?
it wasn't as good as the rizla last year but the hour of indie/punk
3 minute anthems on sunday at gone midnight was ace

* there were more celebs and geuine a-listers than i ever did see in
one place this year

* why does everyone in the press and stuff
bang on about the reaction for
radiohead ? is it cause they have to by law ? where we were stood
there was just a general air of anti-climax and general apathy.
totally different to r.e.m. the night before.

* god there were some freaks though weren't there ?

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 12:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I was wondering the same thing. I hate how pop history gets written. REM was a wonderful, too happy to be sneery event that I will only forget because I was too out of it. For Radiohead people were just shifting their feet and getting sore.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

For Radiohead people were just shifting their feet and getting sore.

Not where I was standing they weren't (nowhere near the front, incidentally).

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Piscesboy and I must have found the bit near the speakers.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

oh the tartiflette was great yeah. I had some lovely jerk chicken from some place near the main stage, and a nice cajun stew from there also. If you were in burger mood, the place called Arnolds Al Fresco near the Crown Bar was fantastic, very fresh ingredients and proper meat. brandy and stilton burger was the business.

Indie discos do not play dance hits do they? I found Soulwax less indie than ever to be honest, possibly due to the fact that they played more proper squeaky dance tuneage than their usual electro filler. ie rolling and scratching, la rock, silver screen, soulgrabber, etc etc etc. Still must confess I was giving it everything to the Cult!

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 3 July 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah wasn't it funny how *everyone* went crazy to the cult ?!!
ditto 'lithium'. if this is how 'dead' dance music is then bring it on baby. funny how times change though. first experience of a dance tent at a fest was the all-tech/hardcore
one at phoenix 96 headlined by 'blue amazon' and if you'd have
played the cult/nirvana in there it would have caused riotous behaviour of a different sort. you wouldn't have got away with it basically.

most mixed tracks at the fest :

'7 nation army' - the white stripes
'satisfaction' - benny benassi
(the intro sent the kids mental every time,
try hearing it and not thinking yr still in the dance tent)
and
'hot in herre' - tiga

― piscesboy, Thursday, 3 July 2003 17:38 (twenty-two years ago)

You wouldn't have got away with it basically.

This is what we call progess, I have decided (based, basically on those reactions to those tracks).

Still haven't heard that tiga (except obv. I probably have) or anything by Junior Senior.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 3 July 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

You know, the Tiga track still seems dumb, but it's totally grown on me. Because: you know how if you listen to some band's albums for years and years, the songs get so familiar that you can't stand them, and you have to turn to live recordings or radio sessions to enjoy all the great things about them again? It's like that, I think.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 3 July 2003 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Obviously like the original the "checking your reflection" part is the best, in a totally inverse way.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 3 July 2003 18:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Did anyone else see Leningrad Cowboys? Fuck me that was poor.

U R A FULE, LENINGRAD COWBOYS RoXoR.

The big question of the festival is who rocked harder, Leningrad Cowboys or Kings of Leon?

This is the thread where I keep up the bitterness quotient about me not being able to go to Glastonbury to a surprising degree

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 April 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not looking forward to it at all, this strikes me as a bad attitude - especially for someone who's definitely going.

Its alright Matt, I'll give you even more on site entertainment this year. Plus the guarantee of a a calming bouze influence.

It's best you learn from Tom and Pete's handy Glasto guide then - saved my life at my first festival. Who'd have known it was so much cheaper to buy your tent onsite?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Also a Joe Bananas blanket is much better than a sleeping bag.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:08 (twenty-one years ago)

matt you are a bad mang.

also perry is very refreshing and only 2%, so make sure you have a glass of it on you at all times!

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

It's not my first festival, just my first glasto experience!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, I think it is better to carry a big crate of lager with you from Castle Cary (its only a short walk if you know the way and quicker than queueing for the bus), as beer onsite is ludicrously expensive and also k-rub.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:12 (twenty-one years ago)

But warm Safeways LAger is much nicer. It stays cooler in a bottle.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I also think I have learnt from the errors and will NOT indulge in too many substances on Day One, which has basically been my usual festie practice. PERRY IN MODERATION and no other substances AT ALL!!

Pink, take sunscreen. Also plait your hair for the first day and then take scarves. You can buy dry shampoo and obv. leave in conditioner. Nice smelling body lotion is good. And take wipes. Take facial wipes, deo-wipes, ladybits wipes and baby wipes.

Fuck make up, quite frankly more hassle than it's worth. And collect the things you get free on the front of magazines, you can just leave them behind at the end.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

My festival companion of five Glastonburys is not coming this year, I don't think. I will be saddened and disorientated at this years festival. Who's going to drag me to see rubbish bands like The Thrills now?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

you've met Pete right?

― chris (chris), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

My friend gave me a hair wipe for my birthday - Charles Worthington, I think - claims to get rid of bad smells and make it less greasy. If you're going to plait your hair, put sunscreen in the parting.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I live on the Jazz World stage thanks very much (though actually, I rather like the Thrills - arrghh). The ILx field, as it will be known, will have a huge dirty crossword, its own pie van (selling pie pies) and so many in-jokes per square inch that the field may delete.

What fun.

Good advice from 1998 was only take clothes you never want to wear again.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

And a gigantic flag informing the rest of the festival that UR ALL GAY.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:53 (twenty-one years ago)

re: hair wipes - as well as that, if you go shopping at a japanese shop you might also be able to find this "dry shampoo" stuff which is like a hair spray but it neutralises grease!!! it really works!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, wipes wipes and more wipes! Showering = nice idea but hahaha. The plaiting hair thing is alien to me, my hair won't be long enough to plait anyway, and you're supposed to looked totallymonged out at Glasters anyway. The famed Glasters tan isn't due to sun, but DIRT after all. Dry shampoo = dud.

i'm a little excited. someone is going to try to buy me a ticket, so i might actually be going. it's just that people that know me laugh when they imagine me camping.

so i'm a little excited and a little scared.

but it sounds fun overall.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Colette: people always laugh at the idea of me camping too. I have to explain that it's not the lack of high heels/ showers etc. I can cope quite happily without all that. I refuse to camp at any other time than a festival because of the silly gung-ho-ishness of other campers. People are not gung-ho at festivals because of the perry and amazing drugs, so camping is fine.

I have decided the mansion tent is ridiculously large and heavy for just one person, so am going to invest in a super-light whizz-bang small tent and lend the big one to Ktee and Aubrey.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 1 April 2004 15:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i vowed to buy a mansion-style tent all for me after the last time i went to Glasto but doubtless this will just increase the curious sense of loneliness (amidst a sea of stinking public school hippies) i am likely to feel come 4am Sunday morning. Rock on.

I have a mansion tent, I only slept in it once last year though, after what I like to call Black Sunday.

I've made it back from Glastonbury!

I am glad you lub tents Ricardo because you will have to help me with OBF again.

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:12 (twenty-one years ago)

my main error from last year. not enough stimulant, too much sleeping. also not unpacking tent when I got home to let it dry out, then remembering in something like September and findiong badness. may need to invest in new one. bah

'sleeping'

― Emma, Friday, 2 April 2004 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

yeh my tent has holes in it so may have to splash out on a new one

is Momus distributing those inflatable igloos yet?

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

my main error was forgetting my passport and spending 170 euro on another flight.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

"may have to splash out on a new one" *snigger*

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

My tent problem is that my BIG ROD has snapped so the FLAPS ARE LOOSE.

the only reason anyone goes camping is because the amount of double entendres that can be crow-barred into a single sentence is almost infinite...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

don't get me thinking.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Especially now the term pegging has an all too specific meaning.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Radcliffe did a flaps-related cracker on his last show with Lard last week.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

My mallet's got a bit sweaty and I can't get a decent grip.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

it's that sense of relief when you get to the site and can finally empty your sack

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Friday, 2 April 2004 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

The owl must come to glasto!

It's Isabel's owl. If he gets lost/stolen/traded to a man for magic beans then it's divorce for me.
