BritPopCoruncopia #17: Top 3 reasons I wish I was at Glasto this year

Alas, there any many cosmic arguments as to why I should've been at Glastonbury this year. Here are the top three in order of importance:

NUMERO UNO, of course: Blur closed the whole. damn. show. And it was epic.

Their frontwoman Shingai Shoniwa (that's her during their performance at Glasto above) is an ultra-ferocious blend of Kathleen Hanna, Bjork, and Lily Allen in her incomparable vocal delivery.

Their dancefloor hit single "Don't Upset the Rhythm" is already shaking the bootysphere in their native England.
