I think you should thank me for
letting you know about this, by giving me free tickets.
Meh.....such a bland band
Half a million copies just shows the overwhelming goodwill that the record buying public will show towards a band that just walk clean down the middle of the road.
wow
they sold half a million records? shit, that means i need to stop liking them
It was the busiest that I saw any stage this year at Glastonbury
Bristol it is then, even if it's yet another gig at The World's Worst Venue (TM).
I was there. Preferred them at John Peel.
But also, must say that just before Pigeon Detectives, there were literally tens of thousands at the Other Stage. More people than I'd ever seen in one place at Glasto, bar the Pyramid.
Didn't see that
although I was nearby at the time, watching Elbow in the Queen's Head.
Saw footage of Vampire Weekend in the Peel tent on TV when I got home and it did look good.
i liked their earlier stuff
I think this band are wank
that is all
they
have sold both nights out at the forum and have added a 3rd.
madness.
blug
I really dislike this band, it's like there are four Jack Johnsons that went to Harvard.
Wahey
I'll have to remember to get a ticket for Liverpool.
