Posted in another thread of the crowd going mad for George Ezra.... bland doesn't even begin to describe him. That Lewis Capaldi is another dose.

Fierce amount of bland going round these days.

Also Tim Burgess has had a number of books, his second one was called Tim Book Two. Which is a good name for a book.

That's brilliant.:). In a similar vein I always thought that Tom Waits was missing a trick by not calling an album " For no man". You can have that one for free Tom, you're welcome.

Dear God, that Stormzy business is ****e, no ? I'm off to BBC 4. Tame Impala, not familiar with their stuff, but at least it seems to vaguely resemble music.

100%. Young, ugly, ginger (optional) and got a guitar? Congratulations.... You're now a moany, whinging bag of dross.

I'm really not feeling this from Stormzy, has this rap/grime music ever been performed to a whiter more middle classed audience

adox

Full band out now as well as backing singers.

He is what he is. Hardly a surprise the first few songs.

Not getting either him or TA. Saw Tame Impala a few years ago at Forbidden Fruit and got bored and ended up in the dance tents. Although they have some good tunes and I like what they do. It might liven up a bit later in to their set.

I remember in school learning the difference between misuse (using something incorrectly) and abuse (deliberately using something for the wrong reason). (Or thereabouts)

I would suggest there is a lot of acoustic guitar abuse these days.

Oh, stall it, Stormzy has a load of people on now.

Fair enough, then.


Edit: Nay! There's just singing Sweet Like Chocolate! Was that a ****ty pop/club song in the 90s? Or was that a sampley effort too? Ah, fup this.

Skid X

Tame Impala sound decent enough

I think I'll stick on my taped Bowie at Glastonbury 2000

PsychoPete

Stormzy singing about mosh pit?

Welsh Megaman

‘Ebony and Ivory, lived together in perfect harmony...’

PsychoPete

Ah Chris Martin, as if this couldn't get any more dull

Skid X

Chris Martin is like an energy vampire

I suspect most people there had no idea who he was, he just appeared playing a dull little keyboard number

:pac:

In fairness the set started to work. The pop music is over from Tame Impala now I think...hope.

PsychoPete

Flicked over to mtv to witness a room packed with rappers singing along to Billy Ray Cyrus.... Okay

Oh jesus!

Stormzy paying homage to someone who apparently was the first British Rap act to get to Number One


I hope this means John Barnes is coming on to do his bits of World In Motion (got to Number 1) and The Anfield Rap (Number 3)

Truely the Godfather of British Rap.

PsychoPete

Who are these street youths on bmxs

Welsh Megaman

Tame Impala, the best thing to come out of Australia since the Trivago Girl.


That said, Stormzy will probably being her out just to tell him that ‘this is his moment’...and to get a good price on a hotel in Somerset.

How the f**k has nobody mentioned Stormzy singing Ed f**king Sheeran yet??? And this is "street" and "grime"???

And now he's singing along to an advert???

This is some load of b****x!!

A house where every room is magnolia, there are no pictures or music, and the television only shows the BBC test card 24 hours a day is like Sunset Strip in the 80s compared to anything Chris Martin has ever whined.

Still time for Morris Minor And The Majors to take the stage and show Stormzy how it’s done

They adopted easy pop listening to become a large scale success. Stormzy should get a golf cart over to the other stage and wake them up a bit.

Skid X

This David Gilmour auction thing on Sky Arts has some fine guitars in it (as expected)

It's on again at 1.30am on Monday night (Early Tuesday)

Welsh Megaman

Glastonbury coverage right now on BBC2.
