Just dipping in and out of performances (no I'm not there in person). Must say, nothing I've heard yet has made me want to hear more.
Currently watching Katy Perry and finding it all rather underwhelming. I don't mind some pop music, but I struggle to understand how she has become such a global star on these offerings.
Hopefully the BBC will feature something a tad more interesting soon.

Yes, I've got her on too, and while I'm not her biggest fan, she's ok but this performance IMO isn't good.
I'm kinda looking forward to the Foo's later

Foo Fighters?
Will probably be over in BB thread then bed - I'm hitting the sack earlyish tonight. 
Hi Sprout.
Katy Perry was crap, I switched it off...Chrissie Hynde was fantastic....

I always think with these artists, if you remove all the dancers, there ain't much musically that backs them up. Whereas some artists/bands can just play their instruments and the songs do a lot of the work.

i missed Chrissie Hynd 
I've recorded/set to record everything else - so far underwhelmed (Radiohead 
) by everything I've seen except Jools and Ruby. Wish they'd been televising the Acoustic Stage - K T Tunstall, Tom Chaplin and Difford/Tilbrook - all fantastic live and not aired.

I'm not overly familiar with the FF so thought it would be a good intro to their work.

Would like to have seen Difford/Tillbrook too. And Radiohead who I'm slowly getting into even though they are playing a gig in Israel.

I saw one song Difford and Tilbrook did before they got to the Acoustic Stage (Up The Junction) They did it well

Thanks - my mate texted me last night to tell me she was fab - you've saved me looking for it. Just saw two numbers from jools, was a highlights thingy. I'm using my fast forward button a lot - best way to watch.
I'm listening to 'Don't Get Me Wrong' atm but will catch the rest tomorrow

Saw that too - I've seen it better, mind. Glenn Tilbrook tours a lot on his own and his shows are fantastic - great atmosphere. Well.. he probably won't do that much now, mind, now that Squeeze are touring again. Highly recommend that too.

I thought WTF when the kazoo players entered at the end but as I listened to it, it kinda worked....for me

This is another type of music I can't get away with, along with Opera and Jazz......Rap
Fedz...get off my screen will you!!
I may have to go for a walk up the wooden hill/switch this over whils't he's on
Here we go........
switches over
least they started with one I like
LOL!
Did you hear him say why he sang that song?
Who is this dullard singing about a honey bear?
I need to avoid. This is turgid.
It was Father John Misty. Self indulgent pap.
Sprout posted:Did you hear him say why he sang that song?
No and I ain't bothered...I have now switched over and confirmed why I don't like them

Good job we all have a different taste in music then isn't it? 
And then I can listen to some of 'your stuff' but not all

I'm with you on this EC, I've tried to like them and tried to see the attraction....nope, it's not happening and never will.
