Jay-Z’s keeping the beef going. His flow isn’t exactly on fire but there’s something about that beat that gets caught in your cortex. Still J-hova.

The Story of Field Day 2008 or 'How Not To Organise A Festival'


Field Day 2007, a psychedelic summer fete in London’s Victoria Park was largely derided – not enough toilets, not enough bars, not enough bands. For Field Day 2008 (this revious Saturday) the promoters promised better with statements that suggested they’d learnt their lesson. While the bars were improved, the shortage of toilets was still grave and found people peeing anywhere they could when they just got too desperate. Get caught pissing by a security guard and you’d be ejected from the site. Many bands cancelled and the running order was about as believable as Jeffrey Archer’s autobiography. The organisers certainly tried their best but their best wasn’t good enough and now? Now they’re systematically culling negative comments from their Facebook group in a kind of Orwellian revisionist history style – ‘Everyone was happy. Everyone had a good time.’ While unofficial groups spring up like a field of particularly malingering mushrooms, the official group has only complaint on its wall at the time of writing. That’s not how you handle a public relations disaster. Apologise and learn your lesson.

Noah & The Whale @ The Roundhouse. It’s an intimate gig but thanks to a ticket fuck up I’m stuck up in the circle. It’s like watching a brilliant folk band through a half opened window. Nevertheless, they sound beautiful.

One of John Edwards’s “missing webisodes” directed by Rielle Hunter. They are so obviously flirting in the plane that it’s uncomfortable. Also, there’s a crotch shot of Edwards around 1:40. Just saying.

So uncomfortable…

‘I want them to see the real me…’ What? An adulterous liar?

‘I want to talk about the moral issues…’ Oh dear.

Though to be honest, it’s a shame that America cares that much about politician’s sexual indiscretions. In France, they knew about Mitterand’s mistress and lovechild for years and really couldn’t care less.
