That does indeed look like a vision of hell on earth.

All festivals should be avoided. I've got a stereo, a bathtub and an imagination; I'm staying at home this summer.

But is the poll question "Who's worse" or "Who gets your goat less"??? this is key.

^^ cos i want to vote hoosiers worst for music/vids/singer's face/THAT ad.

Holy shit @ that V lineup

what's the comedy tent like?

(I know, it's a canvas thing with ropes and poles, etc..)

Channel 4 Stage:
Kaiser Chiefs
The Zutons
The View
Reverend And The Makers
Scouting For Girls
The Courteeners
The Rifles

^^^This is a list of bands where THE ZUTONS are the best act on it.

Think about that people.

Comedy Tent:
Marcus Brigstocke and his Rich Snowboarding Mates

V festival is the mainstream festival - blend the following: Radio 1 / Radio 2 / NME / Q / Virgin Radio

Marcus Brigstocke's current stand-up routine contains five minutes on "Have you ever noticed how CHAVS hire CHEAP LIMOS?"

He truly is the comedy mind of his generation.

The Chemical Brothers
The Charlatans
Hot Chip

That's alright tho, innit? Chems were good last year at Glasto.

The Feeling are better, but both are brilliant, so I refuse to vote for Hoosiers as "worse". There should be more music like that in the charts. Softrock rules!

^^^Only man who can challenge Brigstocke for the comedy crown

I thought The Charlatans had split up, anyway.

Geir, I made an option for you.

But I eated it!

Generally, the world needs way more ELO/Jellyfish-influenced acts and way less Aretha Franklin/James Brown-influenced acts. That would make music better.

No doubt the main DJ at the V Festival will be Sean "Guilty Pleasures" Rowley, the Steve Walsh of his age, turning up and playing the same four records for another 50 grand. Nice work if you can invent it.

It is The Feeling, without a shadow of a doubt

I enjoyed the documentary about Geir on Radio 4 last night:

This has nothing to do with skin colour. I hate R&B and funk for its lack of melody and harmony, not because it's associated with black people.

A lot of great melodic music has been made by black people and even more awful and completely unlistenable non-melodic music has been made by white people.

I enjoyed the chat show which Geir used to host:

Oh oh wo oh wo...
