Suspicious Minds would be a contender for me too. That or some other near-perfect pop song.. Go Now by Etta James mebbes?

i got to play in the Bar of Ideas, which was the submarine-themed bar in Shangri-La - that was a real treat :) a highlight was London Underground - the front was a wrecked tower block with a tube crashing through the roof, the actual venue was like a London free party in a car park. The cream...

Arcadia was fucking astonishing this year - shit like this makes Glastonbury unbeatable

well that was pretty much wonderful. Too hot (moan, moan, moan), and going to a site that big two weeks after surgery on your leg is pretty stupid (i had some very painful moments) but the good stuff makes it worth it. And I got a dressing room :D :D

bought the first few issues but lost the faith quickly, although I liked the way it tried to Beano-fy Viz. Or Vizify the Beano...

nah, he was Chris Sievey. He was the guy behind I'm In Love With The Girl From The Manchester Virgin Megastore Checkout Desk... I saw him without his head once. So to speak...

Died this morning of cancer. Poor little Frank

phew! I thought I was going to have to start hating on him ;)

i think a lot of those with something to live from - sound systems, scrap / art types like the Mutoids etc - headed for southern Europe; lots went back to the city, either to squat or just give in. After the Beanfield, the ratio of "together" travellers to brew crew crusties went very wrong, and...

How could it be "what it was"? I've been going for 24 years and seen it change immeasurably. Not sure it's any better or worse than before, just different., But still very special

bit of a hard question to answer. There aren't that many old school travellers at Glastonbury, but that's symptomatic of a general decline rather than something specific. A large number of the old guard who might in the past have been in the travellers field now get in through the ever expanding...

if anyone's about myself and my buddy in our Randy & Earl's Old Record Club guise are going to be playing in the Pussy Parlure in the Dance Village from 11am-1pm on Friday and Saturday and around 2pm on the Sunday. Also got slots on the second stage (well, in the mixing desk tower facing it) at...

i lack the energy for indignation so I'll let that go..

oh, and for a show that's too easily dismissed as a mainstream sitcom, 30 Rock pisses over any of the competition. Every line is gold.

i spent a fantastic night at a festival doing music obsessive with Stewart Lee. We agree the bit in Tortoise's Gamera when the analogue synth came in was the greatest moment in music ever. That aside, he's also the finest standup in the UK. For the US - Doug Stanhope. He will subtly lead you...

let's hear it for the IPCC.

right. the Vestax arrives today - they've upgraded them to include a USB port now, which isn't that useful (i've got a soundcard with a phonostage anyway) but still.. So, off to Glastonbury on Tuesday, gonna rock the bell tent...

watched this again, for the first time in 20-odd years. Still magnificently disturbing

didn't know until last week that Louis Armstrong had made any gospel records, and had no idea they'd be so fantastic. to quote my DJ partner in crime - "he makes the whole thing seem just effortless, like that's what they do sunday morning in his house - then it's time for dinner"
