Glastonbury goodness
Glastonbury was awesome. I am only a teeny bit sunburnt, and don't have trenchfoot, so all is well. We were really lucky with the weather - the rain generally fell before 10am so we just stayed in bed till it stopped. It was muddy, but dried up pretty quickly before showers.
Bands seen:
Bjorn Again - Hilarious and actually very good at what they do.
Lady Gaga - very entertaining, her boobs were at one point made of sparks. Apparently she also flashed her Lady Garden but I didn't notice.
The Ting Tings - catchy and well played poppy stuff that made everyone smile
Hockey - I honestly can't remember anything about them. Which probably says it all.
The Qemists - highly recommended. Kind of Nu-metal dancy crossover. But more weird than that.
Pendulum - awesomely good, brilliant crowd
Franz Ferdinand - catchy and fun, but I still probably won't ever buy an album. Moley thinks they're poo.
Status Quo - cos my mum made me go.
Enter Shikari - were brilliant but started early so we missed half their set. Which made Moley very sad as he'd been looking forward to them.
Madness - brilliant, crowd were amazing. I love Suggs. At one point the saxophonist was suspended on wires. I nearly cried when they played Our House - not sure why I was so emotional!
Mr Scruff - very disappointing. I like the concept (you don't really see him, just his random cartoons on screen) but the music was rubbish. Maybe Keep It Unreal is his only good album..........
Blur - definitely the highlight of the whole weekend. The atmosphere were amazing and the band were so obviously chuffed to be there. And Phil Daniels came on for Parklife :-)
Also watched:
Coraline 3D in the cinema tent. Really enjoyed the film but had a pillar in the way which detracted a bit. And it was about 7000 degrees in there - free sauna!
Full Mooners - comedy club thing starting at Midnight. Quite funny but a few too many Jacko jokes - yawn.
Early edition - Phill Jupitus and friends read the papers and take the piss. Very good.
Duelling Banjos - two camp men juggling on Unicycles - what more could you want?
Bruce Airhead - man in a balloon. AWESOME.
Insect circus Museum - a museum about an insect circus. In a gypsy caravan.
Spotted:
Several Where's Wallys
Two 18 year olds off their faces on acid, asleep on the sofa of the tiny tea tent. One of them had his face in his friends crotch.
Kids selling a blast from a water pistol for 10p
Homer and Bart Simpson dancing to Status Quo
A man dressed as a dog, with huge balls and a penis that squirted passers by.
Today I am mostly cleaning muddy boots and washing smelly sleeping bags.
