British Sea Power at Glastonbury 2008

Only four of the eight song set I'm afraid - the BBC thought that Kings of
Leon and Amy Winehouse were a better bet. I'm seriously thinking of not
renewing my licence fee. (Actually, that's not true. I love the Beeb).

And unlike the NME's coverage, I've accompanied this little storyette with a
picture of British Sea Power, and not one of Crowded House. (No, I don't
either). And I missed their reported epic version of No Flags. (No, I
don't, etc).

Songs included here:
Waving Flags
The Great Skua
No Lucifer
Down On The Ground

Young Knives at Glastonbury 2008

Looking forward to seeing this lot at the Upload Festival in Hainault Forest
on 30 or 31 August (not sure which one yet). The festival is organised by a
group that used to run the TMF Festival in Orsett, Essex and they have a
pretty eclectic line up - anyone that can put Young Knives with bands like
Chrome Hoof have obviously looked the word up in the dictionary. Saw them
at Chinnery's in Southend in March and they were absolutely fantastic.

Foals at Glastonbury 2008

A few sets which I have ripped from digital TV so they should be better
quality than the ones available on various "listen again" web places.

I'm also using uploadjockey to host the files, which seems to be able to log
into rapidshare, something I can't do about 18 hours a day due to it being
very crashy. If it doesn't work, or the popups and ads annoy you,
apologies.

Foles r grate tho. Didn't play Olympic Airways which is my favourite track
off Antidotes right now but good enough.

Radiohead cover Portishead's "The Rip"

Just love this video, the fact that such a big band can cover such a song and then post a lo-fi version of it up on the net.
