You know the same goes for 'unpopular', right?


Poor Jeremy. Was it the sight of all those fresh-faced youngsters with their whole lives ahead of them, singing away, arm in arm. It is disheartening, I know. But at least you can feel secure in the knowledge that popular is not the the same as good. The fools!

Oh yeah, plenty of bad 'unpopular' music too. I just fail to understand what people see in Coldplay.


In particular, I don't know why these "fresh-faced youngsters with their whole lives ahead of them" would be interested in such an insipid dirge.


Perhaps the dead Tory guy had been subjected to both the U2 and Coldplay sets, and lost all will to carry on.

Zane Lowe - he's been around for years on the VH1/MTV2 channels and more recently at BBC


The sort of guy who would sneer at you if you asked for the wrong album in a Manchester record shop, it's fair to say


Speaking of U2, whatever your view it was great to see Larry being so brutally honest in that interview. I've always liked him. He didn't go so far as to say "meh" but that was the vibe

It was weird to see 'roving reports' from such areas as the Stone Circle and green fields - and only ever seeing about six people sitting there.


But I'm prepared to admit that the long term future of the festival won't be secured by ageing hippies beating pieces of bronze whilst people who've forgotten where their tent is look-on, waiting for the acid to wear off.

    • I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
    • I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another? 
    • Found now. All safe.   Found now!
    • We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
