Music 2025

Does he ever take off the beanie?

Glastonbury 2025 gets underway today. Any excuse to post some Alleyn Old Girls and Boys performing there.

For those of us of a certain age, Alannis Morisette was given a prominent, pre-headliner slot at Glastonbury and apparently blew the roof of the pyramid.

Also, she’s still pissed aboot being given a cross-eyed bear.

One of my good friends works in production with Blue October, and got us tickets to see them perform their last show of their current tour at the Moody Amphitheater last night. The show was incredible and the amphitheater is an amazing concert venue. The only downside is that it’s insanely hot until the sun went down.

Highly recommend catching a show there.

Now that’s a band I haven’t thought about in a long time.

I saw Tedeschi-Trucks there, and it was a very enjoyable venue. Although perhaps not in July or August.

Holy Fuck! Jonestown played.

No word if they made to the end of the set before descending into a brawl.

Did Rodrigo join The Cure’s set or did Smith join hers? From the clips it looks like the latter.

Fun (Glastonbury-adjacent) Fact: Olivia Rodrigo topped the billboard rock chart with ā€œGood 4 Uā€; being the first female solo rock artist to have done so since Alannis Morissette did it with ā€œYou Oughta Knowā€. Proving that both women are talented rock stars and neither of them is good at spelling.

Pretty ironic, don’t you think?

Yeah, that’s OR’s band.

That’s great sound quality. Amazing what good sound engineers can accomplish with today’s technology in a live setting.

Yeah, she brought him out. I can’t find a good link to the full thing but here’s where she introduced him. THE CUREverse (@thecureverse) on Threads

The crowd reaction was pretty funny. I’m guessing that no one believed it was the Robert Smith.

I was talking about the BBC game of Free Palestine whack-a-mole with Kneecap and Bob Vylan.

Now and forever, the greatest Robert Smith introduction:

I hadn’t been aware of that, but apparently Marco Rubio is not a fan.
