Now all we need are f Friday..... Boys Don't Cry and Close to Me. Would love Love Cats too.

Sounds like some crowd pleasers coming now :cool: starting with Lullaby.

Hurrache

One of their best songs now IMO, Lullaby.

Was it one of the incarnations of Oxegen? Sounds remarkably like the last time I saw them. Was a long damp day and they were last up, but by then I just wanted to get home so left before they finished to get the bus back to Dublin in order to beat the crowds (I was day ticketing it)

Yeah, almost certain it was that one, in Punchestown. It was freezing cold and wet while they were going through their back catalogue of mostly slow songs in the first half of the set.


(I think it was the same day that The Hothouse Flowers played an extended version of 'I can see clearly now the rain has gone' apparently oblivious to the fact that the rain had not gone and was in fact getting stronger by the minute)

Hurrache

That's definitely the same gig so.

trashcan

Yep, wheeling them out now. Hoping for Lets go to Bed too.

Robert looks chuffed there at the end, nice to see.

Michael Eavis woke up this morning and found Chris Martin milking his cows.


“YOU STILL HERE?!”

Ol' Donie

Jo Wiley is there presenting the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show on BBC2 there.

Which is like Sunset Strip in the 80s compared to anything Chris Martin has ever whined.

Welsh Megaman

I miss Glastonbury already

Time to watch The Cure’s set back on the iPlayer

Bozo Skeleton

Late to the party here. Was working nights the weekend. Caught some stuff. Thank god for BBC iPlayer! Watching The Cure set now, cracking!

Bozo Skeleton

Haha Welsh Megaman, exactly what I'm doing now

Checked out The Chemical Brothers set too in full, as I was watching The Killers performance at the time - awesome :cool:

I am half thinking of doing an AirBnB over the border next time Glastonbury is on and getting the full Red Button and multiple live streams that the Sassanachs won't give us. That's not weird, is it?

Anyway, the Glasto Hangover kicks off with the BBC putting out all kinds of repeats and not one but three TOTPs. Having said that there is a new doc about Charley Pride and a film about Rapper and former Refugee M.I.A.

And that's more or less that, little bit rushed this week as I was trying to avoid Chris Martin who wanted to do a guest appearance

I was able to stream full length Glastonbury broadcasts from the BBC Website just now, not sure if that's a mistake or not. Sure it might be worth a try. They ask if you are a BBC Licence Fee Holder, I said I was. They asked no further questions

https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/er3v9r


Also there is another two hours of Glasto on BBC2 on Monday but it might well be the same as Friday



Anyway, that's more or less that. The Best Guitar Instrumental Soundtrack Of The Week would be Local Hero, Soundtrack by Mark Knopfler (Film4 Saturday 11am) Lovely Stuff

Whilst watching Glastonbury highlights, I stumbled across Babymetal!!

Didn’t even know they were appearing!


Try making a cameo appearance for this, Chris Martin...

Women's World Cup final is on Sunday at 4pm.

I'll just have to make do with the first half, no way I'm missing Barbara Streisand: Becoming an icon 1942-1984.

Did you have to register to stream from the BBC site, Skid - I just find "download" links that require that

I think I just got lucky with it.

I registered ages ago with an account (mostly for the radio), it is saying my location is London. Might be worth trying to register and give a UK location.

Not really sure how I got in, trying to gorge on as much as possible while I can.

It is poor that they appear to just have prerecorded continuity tonight, so viewers have no idea what is happening with the schedules.

Ah well.

Tonight’s TOTP is now on at midnight, or available to watch now on de iPlayer

I've been on a massive Killers buzz all week.

I'm actually quite embarrassed that I forgot how amazing they are.

Agreed

Never been a huge fan myself, but they put on a great show - possibly the best of the whole weekend.

Taylor Dayne there,

I was at the Comedy thing in the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin once and American comedian Tig Notaro did a set.

Her show was entirely based around her bumping into Taylor Dayne many times long after Taylor's career had ended

Except nobody apart from me and one other guy had ever heard of Taylor Dayne. The gig came to a stop, one girl helpfully found a photo of Taylor Dayne on her phone and passed it around the audience. Tig Notaro got rather annoyed and said "This **** doesn't ****ing happen in New York" where apparently her Taylor Dayne routine was famous. I don't think she ever got to the end of the routine


https://www.vulture.com/2017/03/tig-notaro-on-finding-hope-in-a-story-about-taylor-dayne.html


Look, this is why I leave the encounter with famous people stories to sligojoek

Thank you for that long and passionate speech, Rick.
