Everyone seemed to go mad on them where I was at the time. Must admit, I did buy the album and thought it was ... well, what was it? It just left me cold. I didn't actively dislike it, but I didn't see what all the fuss was about either.
That was ten years ago, though: I heard Tattva again not so long ago. In retrospect it's truly shite, and if that sounds bad I shudder to think what some of the filler on the album sounds like now.

Last time I was at Glastonbury I had the misfortune to stumble past the bloke out of Kula Shaker's new band, who were on stage doing a cover of Hush, which KS covered before.
So, he was covering himself covering someone else.
He's also the only "rock star" I've ever seen in a Bath team room. He had over-sized shades, a gorgeous girlfriend and the scones with jam.

You wouldn't want to look like him either. Never seen a fella look more out of place - in those genteel surrounds with his bleached hair, skinny-fit leather jacket and huuuge shades.
When I say had the scones and jam, I mean ordered them, then proceeded to look at them for a bit, from behind those shades..
I had a muffin. It was aces.
I hope you're both adults and that as well - because I'm with milesy and Belushi on this one.

Nice one. Will I be the oldest (at 29) at a Girls Aloud concert?

Paedo vibes innit?milesy said:why is it unfortunate if there are older men there, chorlton?
I like their music.
milesy said:
no, sorry i really don't mean to infer anything about anyone who does go - not at all - i have been here long enough to know you really *do* love terrible pop
but my comment was just meant that wherever there is a group that attracts large numbers of kids amongst their fans then unfortunatley you will get another element - a problem that take that in particular IIRC had a problem with
Oooo OOooo has this turned into a bash Girls Aloud thread?milesy said:
Can I play?
I don't really want to get invovled but I'd like to say that it's nice to see people standing up for their taste in shockingly bad music. Even if it is really bad. Good for you!

No, the audience.milesy said:
I used to work for Virgin and was at a few signings of tweenie pop bands and there were always a few tubby scruffy middle aged men there, which always looked dubious to me.

editor said:Fans are rightly pissed off with the money grabbing fuckers at V Festival who charged them a tenner just to find out what time bands were on (there was no details provided online either).
Queues for tokens to buy beer were also reportedly two hours long after security staff confiscated anyone daring to bring in their own booze.
And just to wrap up their cuntishness, the BBC reports that fans were having their own supplies of water being confiscated and told to buy the £2 bottles inside the site.
The fuckers.

I only ever been to one V festival. My brother won the tickets in a competition, couldn't go, and gave them to me. It was soulless and had no atmosphere. Worse than T In The Park. Thank goodness I never paid for it
