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.
i didn't think I knew any Killers songs other then Mr Brightside but it seems I know, and don't like, most of them. The singer is very annoying and looks like a Televangelist in that shit suit.

The Guardian said:You’d find it hard to argue that the Somebody Told Me hitmakers are anything less than ruthlessly efficient. And when you’re playing to the biggest crowd of the day, who are there strictly to party, there’s nothing wrong with ruthlessly efficient. But it feels a bit like being in music’s equivalent of a mid-market chain restaurant. Yes, you know it’s going to be palatable, and in the right company you’ll have a pleasant time. But I can’t get more out of it. On the other hand, Brandon Flowers is headlining Glastonbury, whereas I’m a month away from turning 50 and I’m sitting on my sofa liveblogging it. Shows how much I know.
Killers always going to lose out to the Chems.
I am now familiar with "Lizzo". Oh dear, I'm very old.
I’m actually watching Wu Tang Clan as I can’t stand The Killers and I’ve seen the Chems live a couple of times ages ago! Pretty dull night to be honest, might dive into some earlier stuff I missed on iPlayer. Johnny Marr was remarkably disappointing too, little more than a few reheated Smiths songs, which just felt wrong given The Morrissey Problem.
PS Need to catch the Idles set, the clip I saw looked like fun.
Enjoying The Killers right now... one of the better "modern" bands... and the sound's not bad in a live kinda way!
"Human" is a modern classic... if you avoid any analysis whatsoever of the lyrics..

Is it me or this is the worst Glastonbury I've see in years?
Apart from idles and the comet, all the other zcts I've see seem lacklustre.
Oh I caught a bit of K Tempest. That was OK as she always have something interesting to say...

Not knowing any of their music (yes, really) I'm enjoying it too, but it’s not the greatest music, rather the sort of anthemic stuff that appeals to large audiences.
Just flicked across the channels again and Killers = Disco Coldplay.
I like somebody told me & all these things.i didn't think I knew any Killers songs other then Mr Brightside but it seems I know, and don't like, most of them. The singer is very annoying and looks like a Televangelist in that shit suit.
