afx sunday 3am set @ glasto

anyone witness the madness at 3am sunday morning when
Richard tried to play an unusual abstract rhythmic animal
sound/vocal sample set from his laptop and ended up in a
shouting match with some prick in the audience?

the Warp party at the Glade was set to shuttdown at 3am but
RDJ announced he was allowed to play an extra set if they
didn't play "drum music and played vocal stuff instead".
ended up with richard crouched behind the laptop twiddling
and producing some fantastic sonic stuff, then leaping up to
shout "fuck off" at the top of his voice at the heckler,
then grinning madly to the rest of the audience, then
ducking back down again behind the laptop for a bit, then
leaping back up again to shout at the git in the audience
and so on. very funny. but unfortunately led to rdj
walking off in the end. shame.

didn't see his first set (it clashed with other bands I
hadn't seen before), but the 3am one was starting to sound
fantastically mad before he walked off. sort of
samples/loops of crickets chirping, vocal clicks and pops
with sub-bass sweeps, which sort of built up into rhythms.

BTW mon-fri at 8pm next week on bbc3 - more highlights from
entire weekend.

Boom Bip disappeared off the list of artists appearing at
the The Glade (replaced by other DJs it seemed) - anyone
know if they actually turned up at all?

Everything was running late at The Glade. Boom Bip
definitely played coz I heard it. I heard it but didn't see
it -- I was sitting under a tree too stoned to get up and
take a peek.

If I go to Glastonbury next year I'll go in one of those
fucking huge motor home things -- fuck all that camping
malarky, it's too knackering.

I'm gonna get my nut down now. Wake me up in about 36hours
time.

I heard the end of the squarepusher set but to be honest I
cant remeber it - i had been drinking beer and smoking skunk
for more over 13 hours at that point...

Missed the aphex sets (both) - which I was sad about but
Flaming Lips, Mogwai and Sigur Ros were incredible and more
than made up for it..

One of my friends who was there phoned me during
squarepushers set, it sounded pretty cool to me.

"If I go to Glastonbury next year I'll go in one of those

Yep, my cousin always goes in his VW Koombi instead of
camping, seems a lot better to me...

On friday night at about 6.00pm Radio on played one of the
afx remixes of "We have Arrived" as they were interviewing
people arriving. Some lass said she was lokoing forwards to
Aphex Twin.

ME TOO!

I saw Plaid (and record a snipit on vid for a mate)... and
they were wicked! I think I saw some of AFX's first set, but
like many others I was fairly wasted! Gutted I missed
Squarepusher...

Lamb on the OneWorld stage were an extremely good
alternative to Radiohead... I definately recommend them...
especially live... the energy is amazing and they put on a
wicked show...slightly more to look at than a couple of
weird looking dj's moving faders up n down!

i saw some of afxs second set at glasto, it was almost
exactly the same as what he played when he supported bjork,
i heard two of the same tracks (the one with monkey noises
and one with a voice screaming). for me and a lot of other
people he killed the atmosphere. i was just glad id heard it
before so i didnt wait around hoping hed play something good
(which he didnt according to two of my friends).

Apparently his first set was really good, jungle nastiness,
some of his old tunes and lots of techno and gabber. I went
to see radiohead, who were a-ma-zing!

Was Chris Clark there? if anyone heard him, what was it
like?

Points: 720 Status: Addict



yeah, he was there, didnt see all of him, but i wasnt overly
impressed by what i saw, i've heard similar stuff before
done better.

Points: 526 Status: Regular



yeah Chris Clark was there. Third time i saw him live in one
month and he was a bit all over the place this time
(music-wise). He played "Dogs" though so it was cool to hear
that live for once.

Boom Bip was there as well. Late on (typ Glade) so i only
caught the first few tracks as i was going somewhere (cant
remember!). Sounded ok to me.

Saw bits of Afx - twas ok. id rather hear his stuff then
some of the shit he plays.

Squarepusher - caught the end but what i heard sounded mad.
Ive seen him live a few times and he always seems to
deliver. They actually dropped his set as he played past the
curfew. :)

Plaid - the hightlight at the Glade. New stuff sounds
fantastic and they threw some classics in there as well. 2
laptop crashes i believe...the usual plaid set then :)

Anyone catch System 7 @ Avalon. They were fantastic!

cant remember much else :)

his plug!

I caught Nightmares on Wax over at the Lost Stage on Friday
night. That was pretty good Really mellow. That's got to be
the best venue at Glastonbury is you want my opinion. The
Glade is far too small -- nice being among the trees n'all
that, but because it's used a thoroughfare aswell it gets a
little too crammed. The Lost Stage is the perfect little
amphitheatre tucked out in the corner. I reckon the Warp
artists and co should lobby the organisers to base
themselves over there next year.

At one point, when I was particularly rotten, I thought BoC
was playing a surprise set. I heard that track 3 from the
Warp Anniversary gig being played, jumped to my feet to
investigate but it was only the Warp DJ playing it. Boo!

Yeah, that lost stage looked really good. Went up there one
afternoon! That whole field is great. We went in to this
stoopid freak show thing, it was so unbelievably naff we
were pissing ourselves laughing!

Also went back there at like 3am one nigh, thats a fucked up
place when your brain is a little bit sensitive. It seemed
to be where all the weirdos at glasto went!

Wish i was still at glasto now, it sucks being back at work
:(

Do you know is there any of these sets in mp3 somewhere?
Would love to get a gig by Chris Clark in mp3. I live here
far far away so dont think that he will ever visit us.

Peloton - yeah i caught a bit of NOW as well. The Lost stage
is really good - saw The Egg there and that was cool (prob
not the kind of thing people would be into on this board
though :) ).

As for the Glade. I thought they fucked up the setup this
year, as in the actual stage. Last year was a simple stage
with plenty of room to dance and plenty of room to chill.
Loads of trees to give it that kind of special setup.

This year - less trees! Chopped some down and made them into
ideal sitting areas! or meeting places (as we used them!).
The stage was a dome that became a pain if you was about
5-10 feet away (loads of timber in your head/blocking your
view/obstructing ya feet etc). The stage was also at the
other side of the tree area.

It was way too packed as well - not just because of the
Glade stage but because of the new cafe area. Good idea but
it was too close to the Glade stage itself. There was no
place to sit down and chill. Well...there was! but you
risked losing your ankles as people passing through tried to
find room to walk.

Slightly pissed off about The Glade setup - it was my
highlight last year but the Lost Stage was better for me.
