A special thread for those of us too old and infirm to spend a weekend coated in mud surrounded by drunken children playing bongos...

Missed most of it on TV last night as was knackered but anyone wanting to see Lady Gaga dressed in a rubber glove dancing like Bambi on ice can see it here:



I felt slightly nauseous by the end of it I have to say. Someone should get her down to Clarks for some sensible footwear. They've got a sale on too so she could save a few bob.

Whilst we're on a bitchy queeny fashion tip- What the fuck was Lily Allen wearing? It looked awful & made her hips look huge.

doesnt seem to be much on youtube now from yesterday. boo.

reckon the libertines reunion will happen?

Yep three of the original four played a gig together recently - must have been a warm up.

I'd hoped that the BBC, after years of experience and the availiability of extra channels via digital technology, might improve their coverage of Glasto. Sadly, not only are they using the same titles as in previous years (no doubt saving on costs) but they still employ the facile talents of presenters who, whilst exhibiting smiles and vomiting verbal polyfilla, show no knowledge or judgement about music whatever. We get 5 mins of word-wank for 1 min of actual music. C4 were no better. Just show us the fucking bands for god's sake.

I was thinking the same earlier TT. The young black girl doing the wandering about stuff is extremely irritating and Zane and Jo witter endlessly and always have done. Enjoyed the 8 lads playing brass instruments though. They were fantastic.

I just hope people upload tv rips from the coverage onto youtube. I'd love to see the Libs playing together again properly!

what i hate is the endless repeating of stuff they have already shown.

I was excited to see Blur but disappointed. They played everything too fast & without any love it seemed. I turned off after I saw them do Country House.

I did like the way that Graham was wearing the CHERYL t-shirt from their Ally Pally show in 1995.

Missed them but did see Madness. Odd seeing them now, all bald and fat squeezing into their Fred Perrys and two tone suits. Looked like a bunch of middle aged plumbers and barrow boys rather than pop stars but the tunes still stood the test of time.

I thought Nick Cave sounded amazing, though it didn't seem right not having Mick Harvey on stage.

Saw Glasvegas too, and their god-awful cover of Be My Baby. Christ.
