This. Plus take a look back through the archives the line up was never that great. Some real gems - the rest a bit meh. From my memories of festival days Reading generally had a better lineup but Glastonbury was still always the better festival in terms of having a great time.

I would think a plenty of these instruments won’t even get played. Just like old wines rarely get drunk. They have become another way of protecting cash value against inflation.

sorry my spelling is not the best even when not using the cr@py iphone keypad. these things are designed for toddlers fingers …

Yea the second time I went I had a stall in one of the smaller fields. I can’t remember what it cost but it wasn’t particularly expensive. Most of the other vendors around me were small scale selling hippie tat. Fast forward to the mid 90’s and I thought of doing it again and even the less desirable pitches were really expensive and half the high street seemed to be setting up shop. Im sure it’s still an amazing experience but very different to the memories I have.

Idles are one of the handful of bands around at the moment that if I were in my 20’s would be seeing live whenever possible. I haven’t seen any coverage of Khruangbin yet but they would also be on my must see list. In the years I went to Glastonbury the official numbers were less than 70000 (with gatecrashers probably more like 100000) and tickets were less than £40. I can’t see me going these days unless I win some sort of competition that includes helicopter travel and accommodation in an airstream with complimentary chief and sommelier!

Yeah the weather in the UK is generally bad enough to complain about but very very rarely bad enough to do any actual harm. Ive been at Glastonbury in a heat wave and in heavy rain. It was still fun.

waiting around to die - townes van zandt

Indeed. This is why I sarcastically said there are a lot of really old folk with fake Fenders. I really doubt any of these come from house clearance sales. it’s a lie to cover fraud.

hong kong garden - siouxsie and the banshees

Which came first?

strike blues - john lee hooker

im just amazed at the quantity of Fender fakes that show up in house clearances! must be loads of really old folks with a penchant for fake instruments…..

ranking full stop - the beat

I can’t afford an Aston Martin either but still glad they are made. I get your point but Wal have a business model that works for them and they position themselves in the bespoke, boutique top end market. Im pretty sure the electrics, pickups etc are all handmade. That is rare and labour intensive.
