The MC said that they wouldn't perform Bolan's last hit.

So, so pleased and worth every penny.
Why didn't you use your existing computer?

'Cos my wife, who was my main concern is disabled and pretty much confined to the ground floor, whereas this tower PC I am on is upstairs in the spare bedroom. 
Quote: George Kaplan @ 20th June 2015, 2:04 PM BSTHave you been to any other Hyde Park gigs? Curious to hear about your general experience today as well as reports back on The Horrors, Metronomy, and the beat combo.
No, I'd never been to Hyde Park before. It was all nicely put together with decent toilets and plenty of bars, so queues weren't a nightmare.
I don't like The Horrors, so didn't seek them out. I didn't ever hear them to be honest.
Metronomy were good, but I'm not sure I'd ever go to see them as a headliner. Although I've got a couple of their albums I think I'd stick to listening to them at home.
Blur were excellent and it was a great set. Shame they didn't play Country House, but they did pull out Trouble in the Message Centre which has been a bit of a rarity up until recently.

I guess that nobody got this.

The tree, yes. Totes hilair as the kids say.
Wish I could be down with the kids and their street talk.

Don't feel bad, mate, losing touch is part of growing old apparently. I'll let you know when I get there.
Won't be long.

Thanks for the info. Glad you had a good time.
With The Horrors, are you not a fan of that genre generally (post-punk, Goth, shoegaze), or is it just them? Saw them almost exactly a year ago at the Isle of Wight, and have their last two albums.
Just ate too much toast, now got a case of the regrets.
Will Cam is still in bed - day off.
