Excited for Goat coming up soon. Although I am getting a little tired of artists coming out on stage and shouting stuff like 'how are you all doing out there?'. It is impossible to have a coherent conversation with a crowd of two hundred thousand people. No nuance. The only logical response is a scream, and that could mean anything. The artist is up there just interpreting that as 'oh they love me' when in fact it could just be a very sensible response to all of the horrors in the world.

@TheBreadmonkey I'll look forward to them too but probably when I get back from travels next week. I doubt I can do a lot more Glastonbury after Gary Numan's set. I'm getting really tired!

@TheBreadmonkey less anodyne conversational openers, more chants that get the BBC to take the stream down! I mean, that's not great if you're watching the stream, but the more disrupted Glastonbury is by the BBC censoring political messages the better.

@TheBreadmonkey The entire crowd yells back, as one, “A BIT SUNBURNT AND HOT AND STICKY AND I DIDN’T SLEEP AMAZINGLY IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING UNDER MY ROLLMAT BUT THERE WASN’T AND I’LL BE GLAD TO HAVE A COOL SHOWER AND GET INTO MY OWN BED TO BE HONEST HOW ABOUT YOU?”

@TheBreadmonkey tbh I feel that way about most banter between bands and the audience!

@patrickhadfield @TheBreadmonkey And this is just one of the reasons I always preferred smaller bands in smaller venues...

Did you ever see The Fall? The banter consisted of: "Song 1", they played it, "Song 2" etc.

@Sarahw @TheBreadmonkey I didn't, but I can imagine Mark E. Smith saying just that!
