'Albion'- Peter Doherty (live at Glasto)

I occasionally forget how good of guitarist Petey is. Clips like this remind me.

Several observations

about this clip of 'Saturday Superhouse' from Glasto '08-

1. Simon's whipping his hair around like he's working the pole at a gentleman's club
2. My God, James has a lot of ink
3. Benny is a damn good drummer
4. Kaz. Is. Just. Going. To. Crap.
5. Put a top on, James. Please, sweetie.
6. The crowd seems to be mad fer it/singing backup/insane and somewhat scary.

I'm ignoring the fact that

Lily's dress appears to be denim, and instead am concentrating on how much fun she and Marky seem to be having.

(the pink hair is growing on me)

'Warwick Avenue'- Duffy (live at Glasto)

Girlfriend holds the note at the end of the bridge for nearly 20 seconds. Pitch-freakin'-perfect.

I'm kind of in love with Hova right now

The crowds booed as a big picture of George Bush appeared on the big screens, as Jay-Z then freestyled about the US government's slow response to Hurricane Katrina's impact New Orleans and its effect on the poorer black communities. He ended his rap with a definitive "fuck Bush".

He then added: "Let's change it up" as a picture of Democratic hopeful Barack Obama appeared, and Jay-Z dived into a version 'Public Service Announcement'.

Ooooo

This is HILARIOUS.

Nicely done, Mr. Carter.

Before the show started, a montage of clips played, concluding with the recent interview Gallagher gave where he said the Pyramid Stage performance was "not right" for the festival.

Before a huge crowd, the superstar rapper then mimed along to Oasis' huge 1995 hit 'Wonderwall', to huge cheers.

Oh for God's Sake, Amy

Honey. This is NOT GOOD.

The troubled singer's set ended in controversy when she appeared to assault a member of the audience.

And are those cocktail umbrellas in your hair?

They are.

Oh dear.























Update-

She allegedly punched an audience member and got hauled off by security. DURING 'REHAB.' Amy, Amy, Amy...

Nice!

Adorable

Huts-for-hire at Glasto.

I have no words,

only incoherent sounds. Damn, I have to go lie down now.

The lineup for the Guardian's intimate Lounge tent at this year's Glastonbury festival has been confirmed today, with Kasabian, Estelle and Los Campesinos! all set to make an appearance.

The lounge, which will this year have an intimate "old mansion" theme, is set to host DJ sets from Hercules and the Love Affair and Guilty Pleasures. There will also be performances from Glastonbury stalwart Billy Bragg, Swedish pop star Annie, and Helsinki, the new side project from Babyshambles' bassist Drew McConnell.

The smart money is on

Hova, since Kanye hails from Chi-town.

Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis says he has booked "a black American headliner" in an attempt to attract a younger audience to this year's festival. The annual music event's line-up is traditionally kept under wraps until the gates open, so fans won't find out who the artist is until June.

...

Michael Eavis has hinted his headliner hails from New York, which would make Jay-Z a frontrunner.

'Pounding'- Doves

Live at Glasto '05. Manchester >The World, indeed.

Lovely

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite cover versions...

They are so cute to me.....

No, I'm not kidding. That's it. Now I realize that not everyone in the U.S. is an Anglophile like myself, but this is fucking ridiculous. Nearly 400 thousand people attended a festival with a stellar lineup, and all that you mention is that someone died, the possibility existed for a Libs reunion and the Specials were going to collaborate with Lil.

Oh, for GOD'S sake..... Get a clue.

Dance Into the Night- Glasto 2007

The View! The View! The View are on fire!

With bonus Wee Kyle yelpage, Wee Kieran shaking his tiny little bum all over the place, Wee Pete guitar and Wee Steve drum heroics. I love these boys.

And yes, I find their wearing of their Wellies onstage darling. And no, I have no idea what Wee Kyle says most of the time.

Sweet Lord, are they good.....

Chelsea Dagger- Glasto 2007

This is possibly the best song to shake your ass to, ever. God Bless The Fratellis.

Mardy Bum- Glasto 2007

You've officially made it when your fans are singing the fucking guitar line to your song.

Also, Helders and I have the same trackie bottoms! But mine aren't tucked in socks....
