I'm beginning to hate festivals.

I either have to mix with a load of middle class mothers and their babies strapped to their chests yapping constantly about Waitrose and chakra crystals because they're oh-so boho, or the rest of the people my age off to Reading/Leeds to have 'fun' i.e

I mean, it's kind of fun actually. But a bit fucking meaningless and annoying. Sigh. Also, I've been pronouncing Quinoa as 'Qwinona'- like Winona Ryder. I'm as common as fuck

Glasto is still decent, and MSP played that last year. Boomtown looks fun too.

At festivals you don't have to 'mix' with anyone, just enjoy the parts you like. Esp if you just go for a day and see the bands you want.

Of the musical (excluding comedians and the such) acts in the regular lineup 17 out of 53 feature a female member so 32% of the lineup announced so far, so yeah I think that's near to the kind of representation that Reading should be aiming for.

Weak attempt at humour tbh.

I wasn't trying to be funny, I was stating the facts.

If believing in equality of representation in art and culture is ‘snobbery’ then fine I’m a snob. Or does knowing how to do percentages now count as snobbery? Fuck me.

Didn't they refuse Latitude in 2004-5 because it would be too middle-aged? Praps they should play a Lifeblood set

You are not far wrong tbh. Went 7 years ago and it was pretty middle class even then, god knows what it's like now.

Got my tickets this week. I'll be taking my kids and my tent does look a bit like a yurt, although I'm not a quinoa expert I have tried and liked it

Please indulge me in a tangentially related whinge. I went to undergrad with Dan Snaith (i.e. "Caribou"). Same year, same residence at U of Toronto. I can remember drunkenly playing bongo drums in his dorm room one time. He used to spin at a small basement venue when he went by the name "DJ Manitoba" and all my friends and I would go to lend support. I even went to his first CD release party, but I confess I've never actually listened to any of his recordings.

Anyway, over the past few years, it has been somewhat painful to see his name up there on festival line-ups with some of my heroes.

"Lois, you got any tips for the young girls in the audience?"

Sorry! First thing I thought of when reading this. Enjoy the gig whoever's going!

I laughed - Lois had it right. I've never had her charm, though, even at age 19. Alas.
