Watched quite a bit of this over the weekend.

How boring and predictable are the Chili's nowadays, seen them at T in the Park last year and they were shit and they looked even more depressing on Saturday. The stage set up and lighting sucked compared to the Pumpkins and the band as a whole were lifeless and flat. Shame cos they were pretty awesome at gig on the green 4/5 years ago. Get back on the gear for the musics sake

Kate Nash is a singing Catherine Tate.

Zane Lowe loves everyone.

They didn't play enough NIN.

They didn't play enough Smashing Pumpkins, I only saw Today and Tarantula.

...Kate Nash was looking well nice though, but the music was still gash.

Well, that's not really a revelation, is it? Sure, have they not always been shite? Just take one look at them: that's four guys who hate music.

I only saw 2 pumpkins tunes as well. They played the whole razorlight set on friday so I was a bit miffed that the pumpkins didn't get the same treatment. I recorded the late night bbc3 coverage so maybe there will be some more in there, but I'm not holding my breath. They will proberly show some more CSS or some other flavour of the month band.
Also the entire bbc presenting team were useless with the honerable exception of the affable chap with the tash.

There are three Pumpkins tunes if you go to the BBC website. The two mentioned, and 'Tonight, Tonight'.

Rufus Hound, his moustache was indeed excellent.

I had no time for the man who replaced Zane Lowe when the Pumpkins came on stage, he seemed like a proper dickhead.

[KarmaTsunami]

My bad. There are in fact 4 Pumpkins tunes on the BBC Radio 1 website.

I saw the Subways and despaired. Tameness and cliche masquerading as dangerous rock n roll. They must have been given a set of 30 mins tops and the front man wastes a 4 or 5 mins with a pointless crowd shouting contest and then climbing not one but two speaker stacks each about 1 and a half times the height of a garden shed - woooo! scary.

Crowd seemed to like it though.

I still maintain that the Subway's first album is one of the worst albums I've ever heard. I was forced to listen to it when I worked in Fopp (an injustice I would never have tolerated in One Up...) and just wanted to die.

I always laughed when the NME would describe the bass player at 'sexy' or 'hot' or whatever. She looks like the sister of someone you might have gone to school with...

Yeah they played at The Lemon Tree when I worked there. There was a fair bit of hype about them coming and their gig sold reasonably well, but all I remember about the show itself was thinking that the bass player was pretty plain looking close up (not that that really matters but for the fact she is often reffered to as being some sort of sex bomb).
Couldn't even remember one thing about the music till I saw the Reading coverage.

There should be European Union legislation to prevent people from having to endure the Subways at work.
