Fantastic set from Belle and Sebastian, watched on the iplayer last night.

Nice one - nothing on TV tonight and had to miss out on seeing them live recently to a stag weeekend, thanks for the heads-up!

I was in the field between the mixing tents and thought they were great. Don't understand calls for anyone to call it a day... it you don't want to watch then you shouldn't but any musician or band's career can potentially get to a point where nostalgia takes over. Difficult to see why anyone would begrudge them that, they've put the time in.

No one's begrudging them anything. I've been an ardent Motorhead fan, and Hawkwind before them, for decades. I've seen Motorhead 6/7 times over the years and in the last three their performance has become significantly worse. Subjective appraisal, that's true. I don't understand your point about nostalgia. Are you suggesting watching a band through rose tinted glasses?

Motorhead have been running on nostalgia for years, it worked for me, but I don't want to see them live anymore, if it's got to the point where Lemmy can't pull of Ace Of Spades anymore, then that is not how I want to remember him/them.

Ace of Spades was awful. The bastardised intro to Metropolis years ago was the start of the rot.

If he can improve health wise (who knows?), they'll improve live as a band. He may well be on medication right now that is slowing him down a bit. Either that or he's experienced a very rapid mental decline.

On the back of Glastonbury, Lionel Richie's album rocketed to number 1.

Kanye West's best selling album made the climb up to number 97.

Kind of tells you how impressed people were by his performance.

[Ganglandboss]

I saw this the other day. It seems the BBC subtitle people came up with a few alternatives to Kanye West's...er...lyrics:

Eventually they just gave up though:

I'd imagine he'd do a lot worse if it was a Kanye West album. At least he spared us that level of detail, shooting himself in the dick sounded bad enough without taking things further.

Agreed, says a lot about Glastonbury if Lionel Richie is the highlight of the weekend.

[mantis84]

Each to their own and all that, and I've never been much of Lionel a fan myself, but being stood in that field whilst 100,000+ people all sang the words to Dancing on the Ceiling, Easy Like Sunday Morning and the rest of his hits is most definitely up there as one of the best live music moments I've ever experienced - and I've been to more than my fair share of festivals and gigs. I guess watching it on TV and being there are two very different things.

Not at Glastonbury. Just doesn't happen.
If you didn't like him you'd just go to any one of the tens and tens of other stages and see something else, surely.
It's not like other festivals where you only have about 3 things to choose from.
