WHO’LL STOP THE RAIN……… I travelled home from work on dark and damp evening in February 2010 feeling as miserable as the weather, until I changed and put on the TV. It was a Sunday evening and I switched on BBC1, to be greeted by Aled Jones presenting Songs of Praise, I didn’t want to watch that, but I needed to be on that station and press the red button to find out the football results….. …. before I got the chance to see the football results, there was a message offering the chance to see Heaven 17 and ...

Usefully, the BBC Internet Blog has published a sort of schedule for what will be tucked away behind Press Red during the Glastonbury weekend. They split it out across the three days, but actually it's the same every day: music from Pyramid, Other, John Peel, West Holts and BBC Introducing stages. Chunks of performance (approx 30 mins-ish each band) from the main stages, and individual songs from some BBC Introducing new bands And then there's going to be single band sets every day from Monday to Friday the next week. Having to battle with tennis, you only get ...

Grace Dent has the best seat in the house for the third and final night of Glastonbury music as she watches Faithless, Stevie Wonder and Orbital on TV Friday: champagne with Dizzee, Snoop and Gorillaz Saturday: cider with Scissor Sisters, Pet Shop Boys and Muse OK, tin hats on for Glastontelly part three. Oh how wonderful to be at home. At this moment in Somerset, thousands of mentally-awry, swivel-eyed people with third-degree burns are staggering about in circles. "The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of 40,000 years" is how Vincent Price would describe the underwear situation ...

Grace Dent has the best seat in the house for the first night of music, from Florence and the Machine to Gorillaz and Lou Reed Saturday night: Scissor Sisters, Muse and Pet Shop Boys Sunday night: Faithless, Stevie Wonder and Orbital Beyond doubt, I've got the better deal here. I'm watching Glastonbury all weekend on TV: happy, horizontal, sun-stroke free and lemon-fresh of knickers. Don't get me wrong, I love Glastonbury, I'm just relieved I've not been there since Wednesday, broiling in a Millets two-man tent, camped within earshot of DJ Nut Nut doing his ...

Somewhere amongst the stars, cruising the unexplored regions of our galaxy, is a handsome chap flying the Moda spaceship and making music. When he's not shooting down UFOs with lasers, Tom Staar is in Area 51 working on a debut album, and rumour has it that his cosmic beats are being used to communicate with alien ravers on Jupiter. Yea apparently the Tom Cruise project didn't go quite as well as planned so it's been left to our Tom to reach out to life outside of Earth. His latest EP shows us why he's the right ...

I think Little Boots was the winner of the first day of Glastonbury, at least when viewed through a TV screen. Some bits of her performance have turned up on the Tube - although not Meddle, yet, which might only have aired through the red button - so let's all have a look, shall we? [Buy Hands or download Hands - somehow for the same price, for some reason] More video from this year's festival across the next couple of days The Specials - Too Much Too Young Neil Young - A Day In The Life Bloc Party - Two More Years [UPDATE: This ...

Edith has now put on a jacket, with a yachting feel to it. It's like she's lost her bags and has had to rely on borrowing stuff from a bunch of Eton schoolboys. Shouldn't there have been two people presenting this package of programmes? Isn't that an immutable law of Glastonbury coverage? Was Zane Lowe supposed to turn up but was too wrecked by the thought of Michael Jackson's death to go on? Or is this the new, frugal BBC in action - now 50% fewer presenters? Ting Tings">The Ting Tings come on BBC Three ...

After proving his impeccable taste by getting us in to do a mix on his show and also playing Chrome Plated Elbow (okay it was proved to us long ago, sometime during the first Bestival) it is with some excitement that we await Rob Da Bank 's re-scoring of the 1933 classic King Kong which will be broadcast on BBC 4 on Saturday 27th December at 11.30pm. Viewers can press the 'red button' to hear Rob da Bank 's personal choice of tracks to go alongside the film which include some Chrome faves such as: Hudson Mohawke ; Rusko ; and ...

If you were thinking "man, this site looks different.." you'd be right. I pressed the red button and everything sorta went boom. Looks like we'll be waiting for Mother Em to come home and clean up my mess....sorry everyone! We'll be back to normal in no time, I hope.

ALL THE RIGHT WRONGS: Best known for her dual role as the charismatic Lilly Truscott and Lola Luftnagle on the Hannah Montana television series, Emily Osment is nonetheless determined to Fight Or Flight with her latest CD release, which is definitely not comprised of Lilly-level material. Blitz Editor/Publisher Michael McDowell elaborates below (Click on image to enlarge). CDs - NEW RELEASES BACK TO THE BRIDGE - Dan Adler, Joey DeFrancesco and Byron Landham (Emdan) In many respects, country music superstar Garth Brooks knew of which he spoke, when in a 1990 hit single he lauded the notion of having Friends In ...
