I like da Scream but surely the group must be finished. It was jus complete chaos. The funniest part was when the band left and it was jus Mani, who was playing 'I want you back' by the Jackson 5, and Bobby jus laying into the audience and Basement Jaxx...I was on the phone to my boy and we were jus there in total shock....it was upsetting to see. What makes it even more hilarious is that students of Scream, Kasabian, were surprisingly good while the teachers themselves, Primal Scream, fell apart....
for me it was a festival of surprises with a lot of the bands who I didn't like and didn't expect to do well really shining. Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, Bloc Party, The Killers and Kasabian were all very good. Coldplay despite the hipster hate proved that they are at the top of their game.
The BBC coverage was good, especially if you had digital, except for the last day and the fact that if you didnt catch the band when they did replays via the red button you were screwed seeing them again. I luckily managed to catch the Secret Machines via replay but they cut the set to go into M.I.A?!?!?! I nearly put my fist through the TV screen...
