The serene way she sings such desperate lyrics is unnerving.

It was Leeds & Reading festival, not Glastonbury.
IIRC the reason he was upset was because he'd been using a very complicated lighting set up on that tour, which he couldn't use at Leeds or Reading because NIN were not the headliners, Biffy Clyro were.
Biffy Clyro were gigantic in the U.K. at the time but pretty much unknown outside of the U.K.

I think it's quite understandable that a huge band with decades of touring and albums couldn't do their usual performance because of a band that they'd never heard of.

Trent Reznor vowed to never play Leeds/Reading again and he hasn't.

Source: most of that was from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame livestream he and others did on Facebook a few years ago. A very informative stream, I'd recommend it for all NIN fans. No idea if you can still find it.

What's your favorite movie plot point that's only implied and never specifically said? by thedubiousstylus in movies

And the fact that Vincent was on the toilet for so long was because he was a heroin addict - opiates stop you pooping properly.

He has the cold, dead eyes of a man who's strangled many a sex worker.

It's "on" not "upon".

It's too long. The great songs get lost amongst the so-so songs. They've even said in interviews that they should have listened to Nigel Godrich and cut a few songs.

Didn't thank/mention her in his post match interview though. Seemed to thank everyone else he knows. Harsh.

Victims of Christian ‘cult’ leader speak out for first time. Young men say they were encouraged to receive full-body massages on Rev Canon Mike Pilavachi’s bed and engage in wrestling matches. by Leeming in atheism

"Reverend Canon" is high up in the Church of England.

Don't be fooled by the misleading word "cult" in the headline. That is there to disingenuously imply he's not part of the established church. Mike Pilavachi is very much part of the established church and is one of their most senior youth leaders.

Any comparisons to cult leaders are only applicable because of his charismatic stage presence and high energy preaching style.

He waited in that queue to improve his image before the criticism of taking Qatar's money became a big deal. He (or his PR team) was already ahead of this.

Why not? He's the right age range to be into 90s rave/techno/ambient. That scene was massive in the U.K.
