Glastonbury 2010 – Part 4

So, Glastonbury was his much fun!

This is my main dude, Terry, looking all probably fashionable in a beanie (seriously? it’s like 300C out there?!)

Glastonbury 2010 – Part 3

SO

To my favourite part(s) of the festival.  Shangri-la/Arcadia.
I include The Common/Block 9/The Unfair Ground in this, but I didn’t make enough time to explore these properly.

Glastonbury 2010 – Part 2

So there’s music at Glastonbury, right?

Indeed there is.  I thought – being largely obsessed with music – that it would be the main highlight of the weekend, but there were simply too many memorable things aside from the Music to be able to pin down a ‘favourite side’ to the festival.

Nevertheless, Frank Turner was there, so he had to be seen.

Okay then.

Wow.

Despite being a little tired of the reverence and awe in which people hold Glastonbury Festival,
it turns out they’re absolutely right.
Some of the best days of my life to date.

Reaper vs Rock

Just what the hell is going on?

Seriously now.

In the last few months, members of the rock and metal world have been dropping like flies.

Top left: Ronnie James Dio – died 16/05/10
Top Right: Paul Gray/#2 from Slipknot – died 24/05/10
Bottom Left: Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sullivan from Avenged Sevenfold – died 28/12/09
Bottom Right: Pete Steele from Type O Negative – died 14/04/10

That’s a bit of a pummelling for the world of rock, with iconic figures as well as contemporary future legends.
The latest I just discovered was ex Stereophonics drummer, giant nose and daft hair owner, Stuart Cable.

I didn’t particularly like the guy, not that I knew him, but on the occasions I encountered him as well as various interviews and TV appearances, he didn’t seem particularly likeable.
But I can’t help but feel a little gutted because it’s another known name in the rock world to meet an end way before their time is really up (that goes for Dio too, as he was supposed to be immortal). And another member of a band that have had a considerable impact.  I’ll certainly notice this more here in Wales!

Really beginning to wonder if the Grim Reaper has it in for the rock world.

He’s probably really after Bret Michaels, but the dude just keeps soldiering on.
Perhaps he’s behind it all and it’s all going a bit Highlander.
He needs to keep taking the essence of rockstars to fight his own mortality.

Seriously though, Rest In Peace the lot of you, and Reaper – stop swinging that scythe in music’s direction, please.

Mornings Start Better With Hearts Under Fire

So you probably think I’m going to make some kind of “I’d certainly like to wake up with these girls every morning.” pun here

Well I’m not.*

This song is f*cking outstanding.

Its Not Me, It’s You

Good morning.

*that’s not to say i disagree with such a statement…
