glastonbury

in shocking news, i think i must be one of the only people in attendance to think that glastonbury was only 'okay' - maybe it was the incredibly inconsistent weather (varying from rain storms to blistering heat) maybe it was the uncompromising mud (prevalent, difficult) maybe it was the sheer size of it all (overwhelming, crowded) or maybe it was just all the idiots (unavoidable, everywhere).

highlights include some of the excellent bands we saw; tame impala, the kills, radiohead, battles, biffy clyro... and sitting on top of the hill at the park stage and watching the little ant like attendees go about their festival business. 

although in my head i am already romanticising the whole event, i doubt i will be returning to glastonbury festival soon. i get the impression that glastonbury has changed a lot from what it first set out to be, and i think i'd prefer to go to the festival that glastonbury wants to be, as opposed to the festival that it has become.

here are a couple of photos i took while i was there:
