They were excellent headlining the IOW festival on Saturday.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone!

Mixes from the live shows? That’s live and not studio. So that doesn’t make any sense at all.
OK then, I mean the Bright and Dark versions. The versions which Peter chose to play at the shows.
-
what if he had chosen to mix the mixes and you are not satisfied or have a different opinion? Well, it's the i/o concept to have them both! People who buy the CD do not even have the chance to decide, they get both.
I would rather he had chosen the mixes from the live shows, and have just 1 CD. Were these the same as the first released versions?

Sad news.

No. I was called, and they explained what the case was, but then the defending side and the prosecuting side each got to veto a few jurors each based on what we looked like. The prosecutor turfed me out. And I was ready to send the guy down! (Provided the evidence was convincing...). It was all pretty silly.
Sounds odd.
-
Thanks. I don't like being made to be a helpful responsible person!
I agree. I would most likely disagree with the other jury members anyway!
-
Checked today, I'm not needed (in fact the message indicated no jurors are). So I don't have to do my bit as a responsible citizen making a contribution for the good of society. Excellent!
Glad for you!

One of the direct influences on 2021's I Don't Live Here Anymore was stated as 1980s Genesis, particularly IT. I don't see it myself, but it's a good album, nonetheless. (Though not my favourite.)
What is your favourite?

Must be something else. There is no curfew at Glastonbury.
Of course there is! There are different curfews depending on the stages.

I know of them but haven't listened much so will follow up.
A few more I've watched: really enjoyed Jockstrap whose work I've liked hearing on the radio this last year; the opening song of their set is a particular favourite. The singer is from Black Country New Road, some of whose stuff I've also liked but I didn't get on so well with their Glastonbury set.
I got 3 songs into Rina Sawayama's set and found it too overwrought and overdone - too much melodrama and wildly flashing visuals in support of a pretty weak voice and songs that are quite dull when you strip away all the over-indulgence. Warpaint also didn't last beyond a few songs, only with them it was kind of the opposite - very wan and tired-sounding.
Still lots to see. Sadly it seems it won't include Lana del Rey. The BBC are being very vague and non-commital about why her set isn't available.
I don't think Lana del Rey and the BBC are happy with each other. There was some trouble. She came onstage 30 minutes late ( may have been due to her stylist arriving late ) and had her set cut due to curfew. Apparently missing 6 songs.

I watched The War On Drugs and I'm really into this band now.
-
I enjoyed the Arctic Monkeys and Sparks. Sparks were so much fun!
Just seen some Cat Stevens who was really good. Hoping to see some of Editors a bit later.
-
So, just a week from now. Just hope the sound quality is good enough and the booklet will have some nice & new content.
Did somebody NOT preorder it? If so, why?
I didn't. It's a lot of money and it would take me ages to listen to.

Camel cancel 2023 Tour.
Very Good Luck and Best Wishes to Andrew for his recovery.
From Camel's Tour page:
CAMEL TOUR 2023
It is with great sadness and regret that Camel Productions must announce the cancellation of Camel's 2023 tour. Shortly after rehearsals, Andrew Latimer became troubled by a sharp pain in his lower back that advanced into his leg and foot. He was sent for diagnostic tests which quickly revealed a severe condition that requires urgent surgery. Recovery time is uncertain and it is this uncertainty that prevents us looking at other options such as postponement. However recovery is suggested to take 8-12 weeks minimum so there is no possibility of Andrew continuing with the tour. And without Andrew, there can be no tour so cancellation is unavoidable.
We know this news will be immensely upsetting to fans as it is to the band. We are all so grateful for the support of fans who purchased tickets and particularly appreciative of the many emails from fans near and afar who shared their excitement. Throughout his career, Andrew Latimer has had numerous physical challenges on tours and has always overcome them. Camel look to the future for another opportunity to write The Final Chapter.

Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis' only child, dead from cardiac arrest age 54. Very sad to die suddenly so young.

If he decides to release a new song every full moon, the album is not ready to be released...
I didn't take it that way. Maybe he will just do that until the album is released properly.

The fact that we heard the preview a month ago took away the surprise effect.
The only thing I don't like is that an upbeat song should always have a fast tempo and not slow and fast.
It isn't an upbeat song then is it? I don't like rules in music anyway. Thinking like this " an upbeat song should always have a fast tempo and not slow and fast " can spoil your enjoyment.
