I'd love to see the research you do for this absolute nonsense. 

To be fair I kind of see his point, Oasis were just a very popular band among indie music fans (Definitely Maybe wasn't even in the top 20 best selling UK albums of 94) when they first headlined in 95. It wasn't really until they released Wonderwall later that year when the general public got into them and they went massive.

Alex Turner didn't write that. Vast majority done by Helders. Pretty terrible track.

[Verse 1]
Mister Marks, can you find for me
Someone strong and sweet fitting on my knee?
 She can keep her job if she gets it wrong
Ah, but, Mister Marks, I won't need her long
All I need is help for a little while
We can take dictation and learn to smile
And a temporary secretary
Is what I need for to do the job
I need a

[Chorus]
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary

[Verse 2]
Mister Marks, could you send her quick?
'Cause my regular has been getting sick
I need a

Temporary secretary, temporary secretary

 

 

A well considered social commentary on the workplace relationships dynamic that traps so many women in power plays and the greed of business-men to assume women are their property.

A well-considered building verse with the use of repeated lyrical verse to emphasise a deeply held love with the use of traditional metaphor to conjure up images of intercourse.

 

Both are those are far more pieces of creative genius than Stormzy's this word rhymes with that word fill in the blanks with rubbish approach to song-writing.

But those people being pushed by record industries don't get to portray themselves as indie hip hop saviours of music as the person commenting about public enemy attempted to paint them before.

Perhaps you should well-consider not posting

Ahead of it's time. Not mention, it's fucking deep for what is essentially a kids song he wrote for his daughter.

I mean Dizze would make more sense least he could fill a full set-list without resorting to talking about he's mam.

 

 

[JoBalls]

Can’t believe the level of moaning I’ve seen about the Stormzy booking... some people are getting way too big for their bewts!! 

Seriously though I think it’s a great booking for the festival, something fresh and modern to balance out the (predicted) two older headliners.

Cos I ain't got an eff ticket.

Alex Turner's lyrics were a reflection of the society that they lived in at the time WPSIAM and the singles they released before that came out. They were honestly a groundbreaking step in modern rock music. Stormzy just rhymes words together for shits and giggles and fills the middle with bollocks. 

 

Yes they had a few duffies along the way, but every Stormzy song is just stream of consciousness crap-filler between nursery level rhyming.

 

Alex Turner wrote modern poetry, Stormzy talks shite over music.

I'm perfectly calm thank you very much.

 

And yes, I'm good. Ever thankful not having to live in a shithole like the Black Country.

If you haven’t, Jo, do a wee Twitter search of all tagged @GlastoFest...

...it’s AMAZING how many people are now ‘glad they didn’t get a ticket’...

Look, Battleborn's freely admitted he comes on here to troll when the Download thread is quiet. Why is anyone even bothering to engage?

[D-Low]

My personal views on Stormzy headlining is one thing but I do take my hat off to the festival for pushing new line-ups. Look at the state of Reading. Same regurgitated list of acts every few years over and over. There needs to be people like Glastonbury giving chance to new artists. It's refreshing. I won't be watching Stormzy but he is relevant and fans of his will enjoy the show.
