I'm home from Glastonbury with a very blocked / sunburnt nose and a bit of a beard which unfortunately has to go tonight because of work in the morning.

Classic Glastonbury Moments = The Saw Doctors being amazing on Saturday night (such a great atmosphere in the tent and much signing along and dancing), inflatable pineapples on poles attacking some sort of furry creature on a pole during the first Brakes set, watching Ghostbusters in the cinema field and everyone singing along to the theme song

Not So Classic  = Billy Bragg saying "You've just witnessed a classic Glastonbury moment" during his second set and his cover of 'One Love' with the words changed to "one love / one heart / lets drop the debt and it'll be alright" with a cringey finger pointing routine, missing every Warlords Of Pez set, cold feet

I should've gone to see less bands again and spent more time wandering, gone to the Chemical Brothers instead of the second Billy Bragg set, stayed in Lost Vagueness to see Fatboy Slim, drank more cider....

The Redneck Manifesto on Thursday for the first time since the Electric Picnic. Hope to see some of you there and maybe make it to the Lower Deck in time for the Party Weirdo set at their 7" launch followed by Herv. Should be deadly :)

if you take away 'one love' and the new songs (except for the one about the clash) he was deadly.

Styoopid bloody beards. Mine was put to death as soon as I got home.

Have you developed pneumonia yet? I think I notice the first signs in myself.

Lemsip + Strepsils vs Pneumnonia = no contest

I've got vague memories of the Bring Back The Wispa flag...was that your brothers or was it just near you? someone mentioned it on thumped.

What did you think of the Manics? I was about 15 rows back. It was really weird seeing them when absolutely nobody cared!
