I’m off to Cardiff on Sunday for the Volvo ocean race and looks like the worst weather they’re going to experience in their North Atlantic crossing might be
Alongside in Cardiff bay!
I've just had the misfortune to watch two asshats pretending to have any musical talent whereby they do exactly nothing whilst at the same time thousands of people think they are watching said two clowns produce music when all they are doing is standing on a stage whilst playing music recorded by others.

Audio quality is really dire, as always these days.
You'd have thought as technology gets better it would improve, but I wonder if it's deliberate.
Listened to Orbital for a short time last night but switched off due to lack of interest. My pet hate with Glastonbury, T in the Park, etc is BBC’s inability to provide a clear sound track. Mushy, dull sound lacking any sparkle, almost as if they’ve put a sweaty sock over each microphone.You'd have thought as technology gets better it would improve, but I wonder if it's deliberate.
Thinking about it, it’s not just outside broadcasts. The smaller sessions they did in November were equally poor. The Tears for Fears sound was very poor but that might not have been all down to the BBC.

Is it just me, or does anyone identify with the fact that electronic dance music is the preserve of the young? I know we all get old, but to see Orbital at an advancing age and Underworld still bouncing around on stage at 60 odd full of drugs is either a bit sad, or exciting that the gulf between young and old has narrowed through popular culture.
