Somerset rocks

Apologies for the lack of content in recent weeks. Real life ( work and stuff ) has intruded. However, today is all about Glastonbury, where the event's final day is underway. The highlights so far have been Iggy and the Stooges, The Killers and Arcade Fire. The kings of Vegas have now gone all publicity shy, so no photographs of The Killers' set. The band headlined the event last night, performing a lengthy set on the Pryamid stage. Their performance featured tracks from both Sam's Town and Hot Fuss. While this band can always put on a real horse and pony show, there was a problem with their sound quality. This is a shame and reflects poorly on the event's organisers.

Iggy and the Stooges rock. The band are back from the dead and sound really, really strong. While Iggy is now 60, he has the hard earned charisma of someone who has walked the walk and not just talked the talk. This band's sound has never been more influential, with Razorlight being a great example of this.

Without wanting to sound too important, Arcade Fire are now important. With Neon Bible, the band have made a second album that wants to be great and just might be. Their songs are dramatic, intelligent and remind many of former greats like U2, Echo and the Bunnymen and Joy Division. Their last album was also a little indebted to early Springsteen. This band might go all the way and will probably be headlining Glastonbury in a couple of years.

Tonight the surviving members of a band called The Who will be playing.
