Friday tunes 29 - the post-Glasto blog

After returning from Glastonbury last weekend, I'm bursting with musical excitement. This is me venting some of it. There will almost certainly be more to follow!

What I saw...

My Glasto 2011 (chronological)

Glasto highlights

1. Apocalyptic raving under the flaming giant spider at Arcadia to the Stanton Warriors

2. Being at the front for Queens Of The Stone Age

3. Seeing how happy Elbow were to be playing the pyramid to a crowd who knew all their lyrics - 20 years in the making!

4. The utter filth that came out of the Dance Village. Thank you Trolley Snatcha, Netsky, Nero, and Sub Focus. You all smashed it!

5. Boogying with topless mermaids, burlesque dancers and beat-boxers in Shangri-la

6. Whatever was coming out of the speakers in Sharky's at 6am on Saturday

7. Catching Radiohead as special guests

10. Discovering Foster The People totally randomly

11. Listening to Tame Impala playing Angel

12 Friday morning of Metronomy and Two Door Cinema Club to lift everyone's spirits through the rain and on to people's shoulders

13. Watching Singai Shoniwa of the Noisettes climb the scaffolding, hanging from it and singing upside-down
