Glastonbury Music Festival

Do music festivals help u connect with 'the human spirit'? Wed, 2009-07-01 12:30 | by Carles

Was looking at pix of Glastonbury Music festival. Seems like an 'overwhelming experience.' Can't believe 'this many people' want to see 'live music.'

Damn. This picture 'seriously seems like a Where's Waldo' 2-page spread. Can't believe it is actually 'temporary shelter' for people attending some 'huge ass' music festival in England. Feel 'overwhelmed' to imagine a 'live music experience' with s000 many ppl. Wonder if I really want to 'rally around music' and 'bask in the human spirit' in that type of environment.

'Jesus christ'. Seems like an event that would 'raise enough money' to 'end hunger' or something/make a 'GDP comparison to a shitty country.'

Think the world will look like this 'when the world ends' and a portal to the center of the Earth opens up.

I wonder if they built an 'Outdoor World'/'Bass Pro Shop'/'Cabela's'/miscellaneous outdoor store nearby just to handle people who 'needed outdoor gear' for this sweet festival.

Can't believe Glastonbury lets you 'volunteer' to get into the music festival for free. Think that u have to sort through trash/recyclable materials. Seems 'green', possibly like a marketing campaign.

I wonder if a company could offer their workforce non-monetary 'compensation' for an entire fiscal year. Like a company that 'pays workers' with 'kewl bands performing'/meaningful experiences, instead of 'having a payroll.' Feel like there is a 'genre of people' who would do that, as long as you gave them a tent and a community shower, or something.

I feel inspired by seeing so many ppl 'uniting around music', willing to 'chill in a tent for days'/'set up some sort of monetized shanty town.' Feel like possibly building some sort of music festival that incorporates 'actual slums.'

Most festivals are held in a 'meaningful public space' where you can also see 'the city's skyline in the background.' This helps u feel 'connected to the music' while also 'being reminded of the power of man/engineering/archyteckchy.'

Sorta just want to 'feel' the city behind me.

Being in a crowd + seeing 'corporate America' makes me feel like I am a part of humanity.

This is a picture of 'slums' in Brazil. What if we had some sort of 'super authentic' music festival in 'slums', and 'rented' the homes from the people who 'actually lived there.' Feel like 'every1 would win' since rich people would get 'an organic experience' and 'the poors' would get $$$$.

Really just searching for the most authentic music experience possible, and I think that the modern music festival is 'isolating a demographic of authentic thrillseekers.' Sorta just mainstream + corporate now.

What ideas do yall have for the modern music festival?
Do u believe in the concept of the microfestival--charging 10 to 100 fans ~$10K per ticket to see their fave bands in an intimate, exclusive setting?
Should we 'buy out' a bunch of slum dwellers and turn the area into a music festival space?
Worried that I am 'losing touch with humanity' even though I am 'actively seeking' the opportunity to 'connect' with 'all humans.'

I hate my free-spirited festival-attending mum. :-( Wed, 2008-07-09 14:49 | by Carles


My free-spirited mum took me to Glastonbury Music Festival to see a black man rapper guy sing Oasis' "Wonderwall." It wasn't that good. A little bit gimmicky in an 'i am a rapper who luvz attention and has no concept of what an internet meme is so I will continue doing things that I think are historically relevant but no1 rlly cares' kind of way. I like the ________ version of "Wonderwall" waaay better.

N E WAYS.... My mum is one of those krazie festival people who wears zany clothes/wig/tiedye boots/leggings/a kreepie smile, and even has a lucky pair of mud boots. She dressed me up in a custom-made trash bag and bought me some boots at Wal Mart so that I could play in the mud with all of the other 'kids at heart' who attend music festivals.

I would be scared of attending festivals in Europe. They don't have enough classic festival bros. Maybe non-Americans didn't ever really connect with jam bands and deep rock bands like Incubus. They all look like they are in uninteresting British rock bands that MTV tries to tell me are 'the next big thing.' :-(

Do Europeans like David Matthews, or do they only listen to Ricky Martin/Aqua/Shakira/Wyclef/other artists that perform at the beginning of large-scale global sporting events?

Thom Yorke wears a headband to try to look like an entry level alt Wed, 2010-06-30 13:27 | by Carles


Gonna try to wear an accessory
that makes me look younger
that helps me appeal to a younger generation of bros
that helps me recapture an entry-level spirit.

My name is Thom
I've written some of the most important CD albums of the past 100 years
become a global visionary
environmental leader
and an internet marketing and music industry guru [via In_Rainbows]

But it's time for me to reach a new fan base
The young ppl
The down market alt tweens
I know I reached an entire generation of young druggies in the past

but the new crop doesn't know why they should enjoy me.
Me and my band, the Radioheads
Not sure if they even know what a 'radio' is
might have to change our name to 'iPodhead'

Just wearing a headband
doin the damn thang
Gettin my riff on

Might buy a headband + wristband combo pack
to really align my arm brand
with my head brand
coming 2gether as 1

Does Thom Yorke look 'entry level' in a headband?
Do yall like the Radioheads?
IS he 'ripping off' Richard Tenenbaums?
Can Radiohead appeal 2 a new generation, or does every1 already like them?
Is Radiohead the #1 band in the world?
Is radiohead the #1 band of the 90s/2000s?

"laters"

Prince Charles goes to Music Festival to try to appeal to UK alts, seems old & out of place Tue, 2010-06-29 20:30 | by Carles
Link: http://www.thedailyswarm.com/headlines/prince-charles-rocks-glastonbury/


From what I understand, England / the UK still has Kings and Queens who make national decisions for their country. Sounds kinda like a dictatorship 2 me. Anyways, there is some dude named Prince Charles who is waiting to be King, but he is all old, and the Queen is still alive, so he just gets to party and bang chicks.

I think he went to Glastonbury Music Festival to try to reach a new demographic of voters: Young UK alts who listen to the XX, MUSE, and Coldplay.

Seems 'out of place', like a grandpa in an Urby Outfitties.

What do yall know about Prince Charles?
What bands do u think he vibed out to?

From what I understand, when Prince Charles married Princess Diana, it was a 'pre-internet mega meme' because it represented the 'fairy tale wedding' that all women wanted 2 experience.

From what I understand, Prince Charles 'cheated' on Diana, and told his mistress that he wanted to be converted into a tampon so he could be inside her sweey pussie 4evr:

* Charles to Camilla, in an intercepted telephone call: "I want to feel my way along you, all over you and up and down you and in and out. Oh God, I'll just live inside your trousers or something -- it would be much easier."

* Camilla: "What are you going to turn into, a pair of knickers? Oh, you're going to come back as a pair of knickers."

* Charles: "Or, God forbid, a Tampax (tampon). Just my luck!" Camilla: "You are a complete idiot! Oh, what a wonderful idea."

Seems like a mad hornie bro. Glad he went to a music festival to look at some hot, young alt ass.

Is Prince Charles a chill bro?
Does n e 1 know how the UK government works? What's the difference between the United Kingdom and England?
Do u wish Barry Obama would show up at Coachella/Lollapalooza/Pitchfork Music Festival?

That girl from Harry Potter goes to Glastonbury Music Festival with some ultra alt dude Sun, 2010-06-27 12:20 | by Carles

Emma Watson is female actress who plays 'the girl' in that Harry Potter movie. I think her name is "Hermione", and she is supposed to 'turn on' young bros by offering a natural, yet sexie 'barely legal' type of look. Haven't read Harry Potter, but I think they go to some school where they are trying to become Witch Doctors, and they all try to have a gang bang with this girl or something. Sorta a mix between X-men and Lord of the Rings.

Guess the real story is that Emma Watson is one of those celebs who 'goes to music festivals' to seem alt. Most importantly, she went to Glastonbury Music festival with this mega alt dude. From what I understand, Glastonbury is 'the Coachella of the UK.' Not sure if this mega alt dude is 'authentic' or if he just 'dressed like an alt' to impress her/fit in at the festival. Sorta jeal of him for hanging out with some1 famous. Maybe he is 'just some rich bro', and went to the festival to see MUSE or other crappy UK bands like that.

Seems like she chilled hard in some really functional festival gear. Wearing some sort of corset to 'push up her lil boobs' and get some more blog hits. Really vibing to this festival attire. Wonder if she got some solid 'band photograph shots' with her DSLR.

Do yall like Harry Potter?
Is Hermoine 'mad hot'? Is she hotter than that Twilight girl?
Do u think she is gonna go to Coachella with Whitney Port next year?
Are music festivals a great place to show off ur alt brand?
Do u think celebs really 'get' music, or is music mainly for middle class people?
Is Harry Potter the Goosebumps of our generation?
