Used to love galliano. Interested to see how their sound has evolved. The plot thickens album was a whole new sound for them( about 30 years ago)now. Brilliant album. Just read somewhere they have done an Eddie chacon song on new album. Hope they have been working with him, he is brilliant.

I'm a big fan, the first two tracks are good but I was mildly worried they're just rehashing the same sound over again. Bright Magic benefited from his time at Hansa in Berlin with a new direction of sound.

Yannis (of Foals) and The Yaw have an EP out today too. May listen, may wait for the album. Found the stuff released has been quite good in all honesty but nothing exceptional
EOTR mini review as had to skip the Sunday. As usual, drinking in fields was better than bands
Bonnie Prince Billy - didn’t work. Maybe was too far back, but meh
Holiday Ghosts - fun. Will change no one’s life ever. Have irrational dislike of the guitarist.
King Hannah - spellbinding brilliance
Bill Ryder Jones - euphoric
Jockstrap - read EOTR review
IDLES - emperors new clothes
Lankum - very good, should have been louder
Julia Jacklin - surprising
Still House Plants - still absolutely dreadful
Sprints - absolutely magnificent, she’s the queen
Sextile - not for me. At all
Jellyskin - a band invented to play the Folly at EOTR
10mins of CMAT - super

Why only 10 mins of cmat mate? Overlap?
Left BRJ, went for a piss and a pint, and then was so far back it wasn’t worth it.
I love the festival. It’s the best
The Indonesian curry place is the absolute bollocks
Surprised BRJ played somewhere like that, what with his agoraphobia. Pleased you enjoyed him.
Was that the Indonesian coconut curry place (same one as Green Man)? If so, I thought it was pretty good.
My only issue with End of the Road was always that the Woods stage only really works if you're quite near the front. On the other hand, the Garden stage is probably my favourite festival stage.
Weekly review time:
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds: stunningly good. The last few years have brought some of his/their best work.
Jonsi: I'm really liking this. It's kind of like a Sigur Ros album without vocals.
Lee 'Scratch' Perry & Youth: enjoyable if overlong album of spacedub.
Los Bitchos: instrumental party tunes. Very, very good throughout.
The Bug Club: their first for Sub Pop. They're great. This is witty, intelligent punky alt pop from Wales. They remind me a little of Brakes (who were tremendous).
Steve Wynn: a solo outing from the Dream Syndicate man. It's good. The songs are a little more focussed and shorter than Dream Syndicate songs can be.
Jon Hopkins: drone based ambi-ravew tunes. Nominally 9 tracks but they tend to merge together.
Galliano: good fun. The spoken word delivery makes me think of Ian Dury, althoughh musically there's little in common.
Laurie Anderson: a concept album about Amelia Earhart. Essentially diary entires over ambient(ish) music. Fascinating in terms of subject matter and really enjoyable.
Amy Rigby: very good, alt-rock/pop. Plenty of hooks and wit.
Enumclaw: excellent slacker alt-rock with all the right influences (Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth etc.)
Album of the week: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds easily, even in a strong week.

A Tuesday night post festival record. Done well

Do you know if Katie Malco was playing or just there watching like your good self? She posted pics of her camping but wasn't clear if she'd also played
Don’t think so

Just caught up with this
Really baffled by the great reviews of LCD soundsystem. They sound great in a club, but in a big field they were awful. Full of drunk blokes trying to sing along.
Terrible.
