I promised myself I would not peek in here again, as it is a bit too hairy and depressing. I did though, and predictably was unfulfilled. I truly hope it isn't golf that hones peoples tastes to the ancient and middle-of-the-road.
Here is a list of the acts I admired at our last festival, in approximate order of preference.

Frazey Ford
Dry Cleaning
Wedding Present
The Umlauts
Jesse Buckley & Bernard Butler
Tune-yards
Pip Blom
Melin Melyn
Ezra Furman
Ural Thomas & The Pain
Elanor Moss
Kraftwerk
Alex G
Arab Strap
Mertonomy
Pictish Trail.

From the Yes album Going for the One...Awaken

Back in the day I found a lot of Yes stuff a bit difficult and much less accessible than Genesis - so I didn't buy any Yes and instead focussed on Genesis - my paper round money and then student grant didn't stretch to both. Last few years I've picked up all the earlier and classic Yes albums on vinyl. And more and more I get and appreciate their music.

One album been listening to is Going for the One...and this track from it is pretty darned awesome - long, complex and possibly in places a bit overblown - but goodness...what musicianship - and when I want to shut out the problems of today I play loud in a darkened (or not) room and close my eyes.

Frazey Ford…gosh…she slipped my mind. I stumbled across her a few years ago and loved the track I heard. Must go give more listening time to her - find the track I loved though can’t recall what it was called…

Meanwhile a favourite from (I can hardly believe it to be so) 24yrs ago … 1998.
