1. I watched Spaced for the first time a few years ago. It is truly brilliant. Might have to rewatch it! 

2. Hoorah for experimental drug experiments!! 

3. I love Star Stories. The Take That one is (obvs) my favourite. So funny! 

I can't put anything else on the list because we all know the list rules. Anyhoo, tis very Manchester here today. Oh and I've got 6 music on as it's 1994 day! WOO! 

Love to all!!

I did not know of 1994 day.  My listening has been corrected accordingly!

1994 was a very good year for me musically. Ill Communication, FSOL-ISDN, early Chemical Brothers, early Oasis, Music for the Jilted Generation, Snivilisation, and my first trip to Glastonbury. I don't think any other year had had such a lasting impact on my listening habits. I turned from the obligatory teenage heavy metal phase intro a raver!

Funny enough they've got No Good on at the moment!

I was still in the musical wilderness in '94. Think my turning point was a couple of years later when a guy joined our 6th form and introduced me to Levellers, Offspring, RATM, Carter USM and other such wondrous nonsense. Think that's also when my brother got me REM's Best Of from the IRS years.

In 1994 I was at college, it was all Pearl Jam, Morrissey, Alice in Chains, Tori Amos' Under the Pink, OH GOD and Portishead! I had to google 1994 albums and they're all pretty much brilliant.

I think the early/mid 90's was my favourite time for music. But then I was 16, and they say that you remember those years most. Or something like that. Got the dizzies again so a bit woowah!

He was Snoop Doggy Dogg in those days. Doggystyle was an amazing album.

The 90's was my favourite decade of my generation for music. Not being a huge fan of the mainly manufactured pop that seemed to litter the 80's years it was like a breath of fresh air to my ears. Or something...

I do love a bit of 80s pop (and everything else 80s really), but yeah the 90's were cracking. We had grunge! I love grunge!

Guys I'm so excited! For my birthday I've booked myself a little trip to the farm, to stay in an Airbnb that's actually on the festival site itself (one of the other land owners), for 3 whole days!

Never visited when the festival isn't on, so really excited to go and wander round, stand under the pyramid stage if I'm allowed to, and also visit Glastonbury town!

Taking my dog too, so even he will get to say he's been to Glastonbury (if he could talk that is).

Any of you guys visited the site? How does it work, can I just wander up there, or best to check in at Worthy Farm first??

Not going til end of May, and will take loads of pics!

 

[fatyeti24]

I started going to gigs properly around 1994 

I've honestly no idea who Prong were though

Ooh exciting

 

[Quark]

That's an outstanding collection Yeti, properly impressed there. I loved Dub War!

[Skoo]

I've just had a thought, not going til end of May. It might be a bit too close to the festival and they might not let me have a walk round if the build has really got started  

[Skoo]

@fatyeti24 someone likes a bit of metal then!

Oh I did back then! Can't say I've kept up with the scene much in the years since though!

Yeah, I reckon you might struggle there Skoo. Pretty sure the fence will either be completed or nearly completed by then

One saving grace is that the place I've booked is inside the fence, so I might just get away with it. Gah!

Best bet is probably to email the festival office. By then there'll be a fair bit going on, so they'll be able to tell you how much of the site might be accessible. You could also ask @deebeedoobee, @pilton digger and @Mr Splodge, as they live in Pilton.

[Skoo]

Thanks @mr gumby I will do that. How exciting though. I've looked on this airbnb's calendar for the festival dates itself, and they charge £1400 per night when the festival is on. Madness.

Yes skoo, went last Easter and it was amazing. We stayed in a tiny B&B in Glastonbury town and visited the Abbey, the Tor, the chalice well etc, then on Easter Sunday we wandered the farm all day, we ate Easter bunnies and drank tins of desparado's  sitting on an empty pyramid stage singing bright eyes. We played in the kids field on the swing/slide thing ,wandered up to the stone circl and generally had a great great great time - I'd love to go back

 

[Funkyfairy!]

Anyone know what time Beautiful days line up in dropped, Its due today and I am thinking of grabbing tickets, never been and really fancy it (but line up dependant as there's so many festivals to choose from)

Sounds ideal! Did you email the festival office ahead of your visit or just turn up?

Yes we emailed , they sent a note back to say stick to paths, close gates etc. Just as we got on the site and landrover came driviig towards us - there was us thinking oh no we are tresspassing, but it was jus Emily, hubby and the kids off for Easter Sunday lunch, they waved, said hello and went on their way :-)

[lucyginger]

Glastonbury town is lovely! You'll have a great time. Staying on the site will be brilliant too! 

Yeti I am quite jealous of your gig going! I didn't really start going to gigs til a few years later. 

Beautiful Days line up is out, sorry can't remember who asked! The Sisters of Mercy are playing!!!!!! I'd love to see them! I am at Boomtown the weekend before though so no way I can go to BD!
