usually split for bigger acts and headliners and endless reruns the rest of the day

seem to be dedicating their time to showing entire sets rather than odd hihglights.

is all Radio 1 DJs fellating themselves, while pausing momentarily to catch their breath and annouce their love for mud, the Glastonbury vibe, and some shit middle class major label band.

Then back to the fellatio.

You do often get some interesting choices of bands - I remember watching Tokyo Police Club's set on interactive last year, and Bat For Lashes - but on Saturday and Sunday they seem to allocate one screen to showing a band from the previous day's main stage.

maybe the best place to watch coverage would be on user-generated sites like YouTube - there was quite a bit of content on there last year, and with more and more people having decent vid cams on their mobiles, we might see more this year. anyone know any specialist websites where festival goers upload their clips?

to enthuse wildly about some reggae band on the jazz/world stage before waddling onstage to sing along with some ska/two-tone band who have managed to get themselves surprisingly high on the other stage line up

table football at the moment..

that looks like a big crowd for the Jazzworld stage.

I remember they put up loads of videos on their website, but the site was horribly designed and a bitch to navigate.

This year, the site seems to be quick well designed, but they aren't putting any videos up, damn it.

horribly awkward interview between edith bowman and the ting tings taking place right now. why is he wearing sunglasses when its a) evening and b) miserable weather!? grrr

on two different channels?

fucks sake, surely there's been more music than this today

less high profile this year? didnt they have a primetime bbc1 or 2 show last year every night?

fuck it

must be spinning in his grave with Reverend & the Makers appearing on his stage

I think there should be a show dedicated to the smaller/underground acts even if it's late night on BBC 3/4. Battles are quite obviously going to be the best band there but the BBC will probably show 2 minutes of 'Atlas' (if that) then go back to talking about some of the "characters" they've met by the Avalon stage

camera zoomed straight into the first black man it could find in the crowd

hmmm

come aawwwwwn! :(

little rallying call for hip-hop from Lupe Fiasco was pretty cool, although BBC had obviously edited together what they showed from his set - one song he had a jacket, next he didn't! C'mon.

I've given up watching now - its a choice of The Fratellis and The Gossip and I'd rather choose this.

Fucking Fratellis again?

and well its boring. Kings of Leon are making me wish Jonathon Ross hadn't just finished its that dull.

I tryed watchin some earlyer on BBC3 but they kept playin crap like fritellies and editors, the only saving grace was a little bit of lupe Fisaco and he wasnt all that.

On Sky now, there's 2 red button channels showing The Enemy. What is the fucking point of showing the same fucking set on two channels?!

and show some decent highlights

put in a stellar performance, there was an air of Glastonbury magic. From my seat anyway.

The crowd wasn't physically that reactive but the overwhelming singalongs for 'Milk', 'Fans' and 'Charmer' really surprised me and surely prove that they were after all big enough to step up?

Last night's coverage was mostly wall-to-wall Editors.

the fact i'm only just watching any coverage now this morning, on the red button iPlayer thing, and being able to fast forward through the Fratellis set. Technology is ace.

channels are showing tennis.

Seen as though everyone pays for the BBC (well, not me being a kid..) they should try and cater for everyone too?

getting worked up about them ignoring a band that is ignored largely anyway is KERAZY

Did anyone see the coverage of Estelle?

She was fucking awful and her patter was terrible.

A mildy irritated Shakin Stevens
The Young Knives playing a Shakin Stevens song
The Radio 5 presenters taking the piss out of Shakin Stevens
A roving reporter telling us that Shakin Stevens is late starting
The Radio 5 presenters not knowing what Glastonbury Tor is
Seasick Steve told he looks like the granddad from Dukes Of Hazzard

and i'll be fine with anything else they put up.

p.s. edith bowman LOVES EDITHORZZZ. who knew?

I thought they were good but not great. They never seemed to reach the big transcendent crescendo that a truly great festival headline slot needs to separate it from one which is merely good.

Unless the BBC was just too busy repeating Editors/TingTings/Fratellis to show it.

Seriously, I'm not expecting some obscure side-stage DiS cult band to get any coverage but even on the main stages there are more than just two or three bands playing who they could cover.

The singer hair is thinning badly
He's going to be bald by the time he's thirty going by the spot on the back of his head!

this is better than all of last night already

a drugged up, boyfriend in jail, Wino singing A Message To You Rudy is a bit ironic?

The Great Skua, No Lucifer, Down On The Ground. Three songs, not one of which feature Yan on lead vocals. Well done. (They definitely have more, as Waving Flags was on BBC2 earlier)

Anyone noticed BBC2 aren't showing Jay-Z live?

FUCKING AMAZING. NO?

doin accoustic stuff back stage I love this tune...

I think I'm in love humana humana

at the criminal lack of Massive Attack. They headlined the other stage, i've been watching all night and have only seen one song (which i only caught the end of. on the other hand Jay-Z, Amy Winehouse, Buddy Guy and Joan Armatrading have been on at least three times each. Massive Attack are brilliant and i don't see why the coverage has all but ignored them.

what the fuck is with the amount of absolute shit on bbc2. Im tired of world fucking music you cunts.
