How have I never heard of slowdive. Love em.

Brilliant. ‘Golden Hair’ to end the set was the best song of the weekend for me, amazing!

If you liked Slowdive there, have a listen to Verve’s first ever album A Storm In Heaven and watch some of their life performances from back then:



British psychedelic bands of the late 80s and early 90s were really good and underrated in the long line of psych music.

I’ve got the Manics on now through iPlayer. Great to see all those Wales flags in the crowd.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Editors on Woodsies now… massive opening track (turn it up!)

 

[waspish]

Iplayer been shit artists been live and they haven’t had them on there!

 

[axlgod]

Blondie can no longer sing (as expected given her age) and the band where not much better I’m afraid.

No more please.

The drummer was superb, what’s his name? Clem Fandango?

I didn’t know you were Welsh

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

I don’t know what happens with the BBC sound mix but too often the vocals get buried. Maybe it’s intentional or I’ve got a crap telly

Has to be the mix - I'm not having that every act appears to under-deliver on the vocals.

Amazes me how they manage to get it continuously wrong...............

Clem Burke

 

[GX Blue]

Denis Denis would make a good City song… Rodri Rodri…

I mean I like Rodri just as much as the next blue.
But I’m not sure I like him quite this much. These are quite intense lyrics…

Oh Rodri, ooh-be-do, I'm in love with you
Rodri, ooh-be-do, I'm in love with you
Rodri, ooh-be-do, I'm in love with you
Rodri, Rodri, oh with your eyes so blue
Rodri, Rodri, I've got a crush on you
Rodri, Rodri, I'm so in love with you
Oh, when we walk, it always feels so nice
And when we talk, it seems like paradise
Rodri, Rodri, I'm so in love with you

Think theres only Kompany I’d feel comfortable singing these type of lyrics :)

The Flying Pickets

Crying with laughter, literally tears running down my face….that comment just got me.

 

[Out on blue 6]

Look up the genre "shoegaze" there's loads of YouTube and Spotify playlists with Slowdive kinda music, with them featured of course.

If Glastonbury has done thing for you pal is open up a whole genre of music to you. The term shoegaze is bollocks anyway but some good stuff to explore from the original bands and if I may put forward from now a band from Hull called bdrmm who are just about to release their 2nd album after a superb first

 

[Elbow beards]

Oh my.

You have a whole delicious genre to delve into mate.

Them, Ride, Cocteau Twins etc etc.

You lucky bastard.

Ye thought they had a jesus and Mary chain vibe about em.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Editors on Woodsies now… massive opening track (turn it up!)

I switched over to this, Alison Goldfrapp was sending me to sleep.

 

[big gaz]

Have the Levellers been on yet ?

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Not sure who these guitarists are playing for Blondie, not that they're bad players or anything, obviously not, but their style seems a bit too cheesy and widdly widdly for their style and songs

anyway I'm gonna go back and watch Slowdive's set

*** Scratches chin ***

What is this new playing style...........? ;-)

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Who are the mystery guests playing with Elton tonight then? Hearing Brittney Spears has been spotted there so assume she'll be one

 

[Elbow beards]

Iplayer been shit artists been live and they haven’t had them on there!

If you know what stage they were on and the time you can fast forward to them.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Or giving a 30 minute anti-vax monologue to total silence

Made me laugh that - cheers........... :-)

Rick Astley & Dave Grohl!
