what the f**k are this band Sparks? never heard of them, a bizarre experience

They're not my cup of tea, but they were the subject of a recent Netflix doc., apparently very influential.

I must have sleepwalked through the noighties for I'm struggling to remember any Arctic Monkeys songs. I mean I've heard of the band, and they obviously were pop culture for a while . I just can't rhyme a banger tune from them out of my head.

And this isn't helping.

I had no idea they had more than that one song that was sort of good until you got tired of it halfway through.

I think the cool kids have always liked them but in the last while their popularity is overblown.

Arctic monkeys

Was coming on to say they are going well here but board doesn't seem to agree, and that's alright

They've been like this for a good few years now, it is getting towards 20 years since that first album, and they were only teenagers. He has gone very Richard Hawley on it

From the very beginning Hawley has probably been the biggest influence on both the music and songwriting. Problem is Hawley is borderline perfect as a solo singer. It doesn't really work for a four piece guitar band and just comes across as a poor tribute.

I was gonna make a smart arse comment about This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both If Us being my favourite song of theirs before discovering that it actually the same group from the 70s.

Rick Astley had a great day

Rick Astley with the blossoms covering the smiths was very good, crowd loved it.

The more I watch Lewis the more I will end up with ticks myself!!

[Main Street]

It's not Woodstock 
I find it a load of hyped up pop, right now 6 very plump nearly naked ladies romping around the main stage.

Lizzo's set was class. Crowd eating out of the palm of her hand.

Axl doing a bit better here than I expected but showing signs of getting tired. Vocal a bit loose on Welcome to the Jungle. He looks absolutely dreadful though.

[gallsman]

They've fixed the mic anyway, Axl sounding a lot better now.
