Who had between ten to and five in the mardy whinges about looking back sweepstake?

hahaha. btw, loved your thing yesterday about my anti-nostalgia thing. Meant to mention it earlier.

You know the truth, every year, me and my mates usually go to see a band we loved in our younger years at Glastonbury. But the sad fact is, they're still wasters, dreamers, fuck-ups and chancers. Always only a smaller stage, usually mid afternoon.

Some recent ones have been:

Band of Holy Joy (about 2pm somewhere in Shangri-La, attendance: 9 people)

Rockingbirds (12.30 the park, attendance: a dozen balding fat men, sobbing for their youth)

Martin Stephensn & The dainties (Acoustic, whole thing was awful and best forgotten)

The woodentops (Avalon, early evening, quite a few people there)

I'm as nostalgic as anyone else, but not for the fucking Charlatans or Pavement. I love bands who still do what they do, despite their obvious lack of success. Yer mortgage payment reformations can go and do one, though. ;)

Just like Caribou's agent's post disappearing swiftly. I wonder if someone at Worthy Farm is tasked with monitoring this thread and having self-confirmations deleted??

Maybe we should start sharing confirmations in chat!

There are a load of self confirmations that have disappeared this year after they have been posted

Pretty much yeah. Beautiful One's, Animal Nitrate and Trash seemed decent enough.

For me, Dog Man Star might be the best album ever made. The first three are the most accessible and have most of the hits, so to speak. I also really like most of Head Music.

Suede - jangly (excellent) britpop

Dog Man Star - soaring bowie-esque soundscapes

Coming Up - slick, commercial (still excellent) new wave type indie.
