With the clock running down rapidly and Stan the Taxi Man due to arrive at 12:30 pm, we had to move on swiftly to the last section which covered 5 of this summer's festivals. We played tracks from 4 artistes from each of these festivals and then voted for which festival was best, and, within each festival, what the pecking order was on the 4 tracks played. This voting system seemed to cause much confusion, particularly as it was a little rushed at the end of the evening.
It was, however, pretty clear that the preference in turns of festivals was:
- Glastonbury
- Latitude & T in the Park (tied)
- Hard Rock
- Download
Other tracks that seemed to score pretty well included:
- I Am Kloot - From Your Favourite Sky (Latitude)
- Suede - She (Latitude)
- Alice Cooper - School's Out (Download)
- Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows (Glastonbury)
- Noah and the Whale - Five Years Time (Glastonbury)
- Ray Davies - All Day and All of the Night (Hard Rock)
- OMD - Electricity (Latitude)
- Manic Street Preachers - Design for Life (T in the Park)
- Primal Scream - Movin' on Up (T in the Park)
Just two tasks left - vote for your top 3 tracks of the evening, and we need to set the date for the next headbang - hopefully between January and March. Let me know dates that you are not available and we'll try and fix on a Friday that suits most of us.
