Woah, calm down there, flamethrower.
I see what you mean, but I still wish I could have seen Rolling Stone in its hayday.
what's your prefered brand of music journalism?
 
So a festival that in the past few years has sold out in hours doesn't one year and its the year they happen to have a hip hop artist as the headliner, a hip hop artist who isn't a big thing for them and it's out of the ordinary for them to pick, and there's no correlation between the two?
 
Obviously the chances are good. But didn't you sense even a little hostility toward Jay-Z in what Noel said? :confused: Maybe it's just me...

Edit: I take that back...I just re-read it again. I guess knowing the type of music popular to that area would help me here. So obviously they just aren't hip-hop kinda people.
 
Wow i can't believe i've missed this thread considering i'm a huge Noel Gallagher fan. But srsly is hip-hop even popular in the UK? Noel has a point....and stop hating on Noel guys, Liam's the prick.
 
I read Under the Radar and like it alot. I also read Stylus which is pretty good. Harp and Uncut are also decent. On a more popular note SPIN is okay except when they start talking about Paramore. I guess Paste would be okay too if they weren't so generic and their writers weren't a bunch of tasteless assholes.
 
Are they really though?

He's commenting on Glastonbury , I mean your average Glastonbury attendent is either a middle class NME reading student or crusty hippies. Hardly a hotbed of Hip Hop action.
 
You obviously never seen or heard an interview with Liam.
I love Noel's guitar playing he's my 2nd favorite guitar player after Johnny Marr, and his songs don't suck.
 
I wasn't saying he songs were complete ****, I was saying you can't deny that he bragged most of his abilites into the ground to the point where he started to turn himself into a joke.
 
Well thats what's hip right now and making false claims to bring in more readers is more important to them right now then good music.
 
So then my Kooks assessment was correct. In that case I agree with him, he never once criticizes Jay-Z as an artist he just says it was a bad move on the organizers part and seeing as it didn't sell out as usual that's hardly a statement I'd object to.
 
have you tried finding ticket info on the site? talk about a freaking hassle. 10 minutes later i finally find out i can pay 1800 pounRAB to rent a 6 person tent or pay 155 pounRAB for a weekend ticket. that's IF i even lived in the UK, which i don't. toss on an extra 2 grand for a transatlantic return flight and i'm thinking - forget this.

i'm STILL trying to find out who the line up is for this year. hmmm a rap guy that has gotten more press for being beyonce's possible husband over the last year than anything he's released in recent memory. hell the only thing i remeraber about jay-z was that stupid single he had that lifted a song from freaking Annie (the musical about a red headed orphan).

20 minutes later and i STILL can't find a list of performers on the offical glastonbury festival page. yeah i can't see ANY reason why it's not already sold out... nope... effing hippies.



thank god for google. wow.... little wonder it's not selling out. neil diamond? (i make your grandma wet - but my son is mike D so i'm cool!) leonard cohen? (i'm older than dirt and make william shatner seem hyper) the verve? (a less abrasive version of oasis that no one has heard from in 10 years?)

whoever organized this year's lineup should be fired.
