perhaps, but as I've always thought the music dreadful I had no need to know different.

having found out new things has it changed my opinion of them? Nope.

Tedious. Which coincidentally sounds like a title of a PSB album.

Is that confirmed?

I have to say I'm not minding his new stuff, and he sounded a lot better on Jools Holland than I expected.

Still wouldn't go see him mind

A big part of LGs documentary was about how he’s inspired a new young generation into his music. Very few fans that were old enough to remember Oasis now go crazy for him. I think it’s a great booking by R&L, he will put on a good show for the younger crowd.

How can they be described as proto-disco though? That happened long before PSB existed

I wasn’t upvoting for accuracy, just the casual use of ‘proto disco’ down here in the doldrums of the Internet

Yep. I took my daughter to see him last week . Lots of her peers are all over him. Massive.

Absolutely zero interest in Noel though.

It has the proto disco feel to it, in that it has the euro dance vibe and sparkle like the early Moroder/ Donna Summer stuff. It fits in more with that kind of stuff rather than the formulaic disco of Saturday Night Fever and subsequent hi jacking of the scene by the likes of the Bee Gees et al, which came later and lead to its ultimate demise. 

I meant it had similarities to that sound rather than it was of the time.

@eastynhi loved your use of it, you don’t need to explain yourself to me!

Strokes playing Mad Cool based on a poster HAIM tweeted and took down. Could they be an other stage headliner? RandL looks unlikely as thats late august so it seems theres a chance.

[kingbadger]

To be fair The Strokes taking a sub slot to someone like Macca would be a good launching pad back into the public conscious if there are rumours of a new album which may lead to a bigger tour later. I know they're primarily about the $$$ but they might see the business sense in a prominent slot at the 50th in terms of payback in the future.

I once made a compilation CD of my favourite covers. It had one by Nirvana, but it was Where Did You Sleep Last Night. 
It also had a cover of All Along The Watchtower but it was by XTC.

I stand by those decisions.

I think they’d nail a sub or other headline spot but in recent years they have a painful habit of only accepting headline slots.

Anyone got this Mad cool poster? Fairly drunk and feeling lazy.

 

edit: never mind, that looks unreal.

Great list, I'd add One More Cup of Coffee by White Stripes in there too.

Oooh yeah! Seeing as we're on that track - have you heard Jack White's version of Love is Blindness? Ace.

That version of Where Did You Sleep... is my all time favourite vocal performance of Kurt’s.

[mufcok]

I thought Mad Cool had already dropped the lineup/poster?..

Rare to see anyone sing with real emotion these days. Is that why guitar music is dying?
