Last weekend at Glastonbury, Lily Allen was joined by lead singer Terry Hall and guitarist Lynval Golding for a rendition of the group’s classic “Gangsters.” This was the first time the two have share the stage in almost twenty-two years (!!!) so check out the link and dance around your room/office building like a madman. Look closely and you can even spot Billy Bragg hopping around the side of the stage.
2:30pm: Matt: For my first band on Sunday, I watched a little bit of Tapes n’ Tapes. I wonder if their new album will make them interweb darlings once again. For some reason, it seems like people have forgotten about these guys.
3:30pm: Alfie: The thing I love about watching Grizzly Bear live is their amazing echoed vocal harmonies. I always feel like I’m watching the modern equivalent of the Beach Boys (yeah, I know. It’s a huge statement to make but whatever) whenever these dudes roll in to town. Their performance at the Gobi tent was nothing short of mesmerizing and you can see how honed their songs have become from the road (despite a voice crack during “Knife”).
