Fuck Glastonbury

[krow]

The Stooges took my breathe away. There wasn't another band on the line up that I was interested in this year. The Klaxons have got a new fan.

I've always thought that-had press passes for last several years and all the media types are interviewing people either backstage or just out the compound and never much coverage of all the fascinating little stages in far flung areas as half the people never left backstage!

Another little hate was bands playing sets backstage to be filmed-no atmostphere and no excitement-this could have been filmed anywhere-seems so pointless when same bands have played such passionate sets a few hours ago and then are filmed politely playing a few hits to a few liggers backstage.

The press go on about how unique, bizzare and exciting Glastonbury is and then just film the bloody Killers on a main stage and don't show the genuine fascinating moments such as a handmade boat gliding through the theatre field at the stroke of midnight

Spot on.

I can't see the point in those 'exclusive-behind-the-scenes-sets' bits, either. Who gives a fuck what that bunch of pretentious twats are up to? If you've bothered to watch, you want to see what's happening on the fucking site, not in some VIP area.

The BBC coverage is so narrow and unrepresentative - the Africa Express show was five hours long. They could have at least shown five minutes of it - rather than the Guillemots on endless repeat.

Yesterday's bill was pretty grim for the evening, Stooges aside - I'm also utterly baffled by the success of the Killers - but Friday looked amazing.

That's what I thought. Even on the multi screen, there was 5 channels of guitar rock! Surely it can't really be as bad as it seems.

what i've enjoyed this year: lily allen, shirley bassey, the wailers, iggy, laughing at the rain and the mud
other than that, not much to float my boat

One good reason to go to the Mudfest: a good way of avoiding Jo 'I am really really cool and hip' Whiley
