    I think a pink jumpsuit would be a good look for Donie for his first photo shoot......

    Like your man there strumming...

    Ah, the paps will get me in that any day of the week.

    Ah, great stuff....

    If I had to duet for a Karaoke this is the song.

    No doubt about it!

    Which is about as likely as snow on Mars....

    I saw Der Human League last year

    Knew this one and vaguely one or two others, and 'Together in Electric Dreams' which he did for the encore.

    24 years singing the same song, but sure it's a good song and it pays the bills.

    TOTP has two near naked lads on at the end.

    Wearing collars and Speedos....

    How could I possibly have not ever heard that one?....

    Madness...

    Now now, leave Phil O alone.

    Many is the one singing the same 'ol song....:p

    All you have to do is play the start of Dark Side and I'm in for the whole album.... :)

    Genius.

    I mean this in the most non confrontational way possible...

    But i just don't get it. I want to, but i just don't.

    Don't get Fleetwood Mac either.

    But then, I used to think Led Zepplin sucked, so it's probably only a matter of time.

    It's easy to forget how much better than everyone else The Beatles actually were.

    Nobody else comes even halfway close to doing what they did in seven years.

    Jeff Lynne has the best back catalogue of any act performing this weekend, hands down

    I've never been an ELO fan and I know the weather is crap which has to put a downer on things, but that's the most boring and lacklustre set I've seen this year from anyone, and possibly from any act in years. Even if you didn't like their music, at least Lionel and Dolly put on a show when they played in that slot.

    The set isn't very festival friendly.

    Slow/mid tempo and not exactly hit intensive.

    Just finished listening to last night's Philip Glass, very enjoyable.

    May skip over ELO by the sounds of it? Have Madness saved up for later...

    The thoughts of Coldplay on a dark, wet, windy night when you hungover and tired standing in a field devoid of grass. Never again *shudder*

    Yellow Pearl was co-written by Phil Lynott and Bob Geldof Midge Ure

    Tune.

    Yellow Pearl is a very strange song indeed, but quite brilliant in its own way.

    Just caught up with Squeeze which was nice! Loads of great tunes - didn't realise they did Cradle to the Grave (or more likely I just forgot).

    You might have missed their special extra verse, addressed directly to David Cameron, Harry!
