Been fast-forwarding throught the woeful TV coverage of GLASTONBURY. The only things of note on there were
Arthur Lee,
Toots and the Maytals,
Hot Club of Cowtown and a trio of young 'uns called
The Subways.
The Von Bondies were OK too if a tad pedestrian. As for the wall-to-wall Macca, O*s*s, Keane (what the bloody hell are they about?) and Scissor Sisters... well no wonder the bloody music industry is in decline. John Peel hit the nail squarely on the head when he wondered why people would want to see artists perform songs of lesser quality than the recorded versions. Take a bow, Kings Of bloody Leon. It all seems like a Survivalist outing too far for me, mateys...
