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).

Don't get near her. She has The Rage.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Yassin, frassin, hippy, glastonbury scum.

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.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

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

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Was it badgertastic?

― 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.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

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

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

They killed the guy from Marillion? What kind of monsters are they? :(

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.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 30 June 2003 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

mercy killing, he still hadnt got over Kayleigh so best to put him out of his misery

BBC also showed two Jimmy Cliff numbers that I caught and one by the Skatalites, so it wasn't all bad.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:17 (twenty-two years ago)

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:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/somerset/glastonbury2003/diy_glasto/steve_41_400.jpg

maybe better for the 'didn't go to Glasto thread'

― 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.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Before anyone says anything to the contrary, RADIOHEAD SOUNDED FUCKING HORRIBLE AND ANYONE WHO CLAIMS OTHERWISE WAS ON SOME AMAZING DRUGS.

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)

(we all thought the 'head were *fantastic*. the drugs were pretty good though.)

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Speed metal cover of Street Spirit + Singer half-arsedly trying to stand on his head = The Darkness stole the show.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember that headline too Nick.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:47 (twenty-two years ago)

So what were you doing in Glastonbury then?

― 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)

Skipping 150 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them 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)

Thanks Anna. Are you going this year?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:44 (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.

― sarah full of pox, Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Schwartzkopf do one too - you only have to go to Boots for that.
(ner)

(x-post)

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I have never had a shower at a festival & I'm not gonna start now!!! Oh yes, wipes, joy!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Be careful though with all those sachets. Last time I went Emma mixed up a sachet of moisturiser for a sachet of tomato ketchup. Didn't she have a red face after that.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Will anyone be needing Old Brown Faithful?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i thought we'd ceremonially dumped it after last year?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

i SINCERELY HOPE there was no pun intended there

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Tom, I've still got Old Brown Faithful!! I'm intending on using him again this year if ye don't mind :)

― sarah the pox-ridden, Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Cor, I will have to go tent shopping! I am almost as excited about this as Glastonbury itself.

I wuv tents.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

It was a unisex shower, last time I went. (not that I went to t'shower)

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I have never ventured into the shower at any festival I have been to as towards the end, ppl have been known to start using them as toilets! euw!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Hooray! I was wondering where he'd got to, that was why I asked.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Ricky, why do you have to go tent shopping? You had a mansion tent last year.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

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.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

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.

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 1 April 2004 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 1 April 2004 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I've made it back from Glastonbury!

...and boy are my arms tired.

...and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

...and...and...and

― Skottie, Friday, 2 April 2004 04:41 (twenty-one years ago)

so i guess the ilx flag is sorted then?

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
