I feel better than James Brown
I think it may be the other way round. Reading would be more your bag, all that heavy metal stuff.

The playing and sq were excellent at Glasto. They were good also at a small basement club a couple of years ago, must have great technicians

I was at the gig primarily to see Henry Cow and Gong. Because the show was running really late, Henry Cow only ended up playing for about 10 minutes or so, I seem to recall.
I only saw Henry Cow a handful of times, including once at the London School of Economics. Wish I'd seen them more.
Fred Frith is a pretty amazing guitarist. I've just read that he's appeared on over 400 albums and is currently Professor of Composition in the Music Department at Mills College in Oakland, California.

Banksy designed the Union Jack stab vest Stormzy wore last night. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-...abJ8MTEyxVICQqjyaOm0KuWz0o#Echobox=1561822155
"The set, which aired live on the BBC, saw the crowd chant along to the words “F**k Boris”, in reference to Boris Johnson, the frontrunner to succeed Theresa May as the prime minister of the UK.
"The statement is part of the lyrics to the rapper’s track “Vossi Bop”, released in April of this year, which sees him declare: “I’ll never die, I’m Chuck Norris/F**k the government and f**k Boris”.
It's great that Stormzy was asked to headline Glatonbury and used the opportunity to make a critical statement about racist moron Johnson.

Grime can bring the worst out in the older generation, seems to rile those stuck in the 70's for some reason

Just listening to the full Comet Is Coming set now on iPlayer. It is just stunning! So much energy and the best sound I’ve heard from the BBC for many years (they totally killed Tame Impala last night, sound as flat as a pancake). I guess they can cope with two synths, a sax and a drum kit, and the amazing thing is they haven’t compressed the crap out if it. Hopefully there will be a Sons Of Kemet set somewhere.
PS Of the old-timers I rather enjoyed Neneh Cherry.

Funny, I'm not stuck in in the 70 and having spent my hole life listening to hip hop and electronic music, I still think Grime is a load of s**teGrime can bring the worst out in the older generation, seems to rile those stuck in the 70's for some reason

Never been a rap fan but hats off to Stormzy, definitely at the top of the heap where grime is concerned. I do like Vossi pop, but it ends there for me.
Could have been a gang member but did this instead, good for him.
