5.30pm. Cold War Kids.
Pretty good. "Hang Me Out To Dry" really is a cool song. Apparently they've done a cover of Radiohead's "Electioneering" for a tenth anniversary tribute to OK Computer. I haven't heard it yet; I will when this report is done. Am intrigued.
6.30pm. One of the best bits of festivals is the catering.
Thai-spiced salmon with rice and a vegetable medley, whole-wheat rolls, three bean salad, prawn ("shrimp" to you Yanks) mayonnaise salad, cheese and biscuits selection, fruit salad and chocolate mousse. Usually, I try to make the most of artist catering, but I wasn't that hungry. Latitude is pretty good for food, though I still think T In The Park has the edge. Nice selection of fruit and herbal teas though.
Jarvis Cocker
7.30pm. Jason and Oli play jazz.
In the backstage area there was a tent set up with a series of instruments that anyone can play. The hope being to nurture an environment conducive to creative 'happenings' between artists in a wide-variety of genres and backgrounds. In several hours I see no one else playing save Battle. I duck out and head off to Jarvis Cocker, leaving Oli to start a drum workshop for a gathering crowd.
Win Butler of Arcade Fire
9.30pm. Arcade! Fire!
Brilliant. Really, really brilliant. "In The Backseat" was definitely my highlight.
11.00pm. Bread.
No, not money, or the eighties "comedy," but the food-stuff. The band, plus some friends, have conducted a meticulously planned raid on a canteen by seizing several plain baguettes. They were then busying themselves redistributing their bounty to the cold and hungry of the Suffolk field. Pineapples and Fox biscuit assortments were also on the menu.
11.30pm. Nearly home.
12.00am. Nearly home?
12.30am. How will I ever find my way home?
1.00am. Load in. Home. Bed. Sleep. Dream…
