The one bit I got to see of live Coldplay featured Chris seemingly making a joke about Gay Dad, so I'll leave that for the time being.

Clearly there's a budgetary requirement on BBC cameras, as there's been nothing from the Peel tent today, not even the Magic Numbers, but the Jazz World stage has been rediscovered for some curious go-go goings on. There seems to be no gap small enough tonight that Razorlight or New Order cannot be fitted into, and none of them seem to have been all that exciting - the latter seem to have been attempting to sabotage their own set, what with Barney whooping at all opportunities, Hooky doing his No, Look At How Many Places I Can Play Melodic Bass In! act and Keith Allen turning up with a pantomime cow to ensure it fell at the last. Athlete borrowed Teenage Fanclub's idea of kicking specially printed footballs into the crowd, none of which seemed to come straight back. Ross Futureheads appears to have lost his glasses somewhere.

Briggie Smale is on BBC3's coverage today. Why, I'm not so sure. There's plenty of live stuff happening on BBC2 now, including Chas and Dave oddly with acoustic guitars doing Ain't No Pleasing You. Whither Rockney?
