Lessons from the first studio session!

• Condenser mics need phantom power
• Talkback dims the control room monitors
• Don’t be shy with the gain

Glastonbury

The Cribs - slagged off global warming hippies. Modest Mouse - made the sun come out. Bright Eyes - didn’t slag off John Peel this time. Bloc Party - were as good as their last album. The Fratellis - forgot to switch the speakers on. Arcade Fire - are my new favourite band. Bjork - sang a ballad about a pregnant suicide bomber, but other than that was awesome. Seasick Steve - didn’t shoot his step dad. The Pipettes - are hot. The Long Blondes - have one good song, and yes, they played it last. CSS - … . Paul Weller - made me have weird dreams while I was sleeping in the tent. Noisettes - came on half an hour early and I missed them. Rodrigo y Gabriella - needed seven roadies to fix one guitar and started half an hour late, but it was worth it! Willy Mason - played on a stage about seven miles away from anything else, and then didn’t even play either of my two favourite songs. The Who - didn’t even smash their guitars.
