Well done to everyone for rolling the nazis like a barrel

Unfortunately due to contractual obligations, which I'd rather not go into now (OK, I'm Axl Rose's chauffeur, lawyer and drug dealer... keeper awayer) I was at the Reading Festival. I can report from the frontline of corporate endorsed rock that:

(1) This years Reading mainstage was the worst line-up of any festival this year (or many years), at least the lead singer of Arcade Fire owned up to not being a headline act. They still inflicted a headline long set.

(2) The most underbilled band were the Futureheads, who have now happily written a song of their own to match the joyous majesty of Hounds of Love:

(4) Second prize goes to LCD Soundsystem (soon to disband, sadly):
