0:01
musician ever probably the biggest pop
0:03
like musician ever I guess yes you need
0:06
something big for the evening maybe some
0:09
bagpipes it's just
0:11
quite nostalgic for me and also got
0:13
really good memories with it so it's a
0:14
good way to close things off well now

0:22
people there
0:25
just me in a chair and a stage
0:31
place hiya welcome to easy English so
0:35
this week we thought up an idea to let
0:37
people curate their own personalized
0:39
Music Festival we wanted to hear three
0:42
acts alive dead together or split up and
0:46
at the end myself and easy would tell

1:47
beer yep and then we'll go with 10 beers
1:50
in into the evening yeah you were saying
1:52
about uh for the morning slot I think I
1:55
would say well uh Symphony uh Beethoven
1:58
Sanford Inn it's a Fifth Symphony The
2:01
Fifth Symphony is that is that one of
2:03
his longest is that a big one uh it's a
2:05
big one yeah it's a nice one I love it I
2:09
love it and how would you enjoy would it
2:11
be like a sitting down thing would you
2:12
be sitting down and relax you know the
2:16
beginning of the morning who is gonna be
2:19
playing at your own personalized Music
2:21
Festival so first of all Red Hot Chili
2:24
Peppers I've actually went to that
2:26
concert in London in June oh really yeah
2:29
and uh than probably Pink Floyd and it's
2:33
a great day Pink Floyd's a good choice
2:35
for Brighton I think yeah who would you
2:37
say your favorite band is
2:39
um of all time of all time well the
2:42
doors or something like that oh really
2:43
but I you know they they would be a
2:46
headline wouldn't they what music are
2:47
you into Harry Styles yeah Harry Styles
2:50
yeah you're gonna have to compete for
2:52
Hood headline because Harry Styles is a
2:53
headline act now yeah
2:57
um the doors is a good one though
2:58
because like in the afternoon at like
3:00
Glastonbury they have like the legend
3:01
slot right and they bring back someone
3:03
who's like you know maybe not quite
3:05
current right like they have like Lionel
3:07
Richie or Dolly Parton or something I
3:09
guess
3:09
and they could bring Jim Morrison back
3:12
from the dead
3:13
all right well we could do that so in
3:15
the morning it could be Louis is he
3:18
quite chilled would he be all right in
3:19
the morning
3:22
who's saying Louis Armstrong no Louis
3:25
what's his name Tom Tomlinson
3:28
is this gonna be a One Direction
3:31
Festival yeah okay but then you kind of
3:35
have Harry Styles I don't think I think
3:36
you're gonna have one from One Direction
3:38
I think a nice mix of sort of warp warp
3:42
Jazz yeah a bit of bit of that sort of
3:45
yeah pulp block party blurry Indie
3:49
something like something that's like not
3:51
too intense but it gives you the intent
3:53
to crack on with your day you know yeah
3:55
fun loving criminals fun loving
3:58
criminals wow that's a great record it's
4:00
a great
4:02
recording
4:04
criminals
4:07
that's hilarious
4:11
no they're not allowed to play those
4:13
obnoxious ones I'm thinking about like
4:14
the grave and the constant oh that's a
4:16
great song that sort of low-fi hip-hop
4:18
no that's good and that's actually a
4:19
perfect mix of kind of jazz right that's
4:22
actually good so we've nailed it with
4:23
the phone yeah the fun lemon criminals
4:24
but they're not allowed to play like
4:25
Scooby Snacks
4:28
none of the funky stuff just the Jazzy
4:31
low-key stuff the low-key Jazzy stuff
4:36
at least like the best okay as like
4:40
that's the best in like the legend slot
4:44
or something Legend
4:46
yeah that's good and what would you be
4:48
doing a specific album or what would he
4:51
be doing do you know do you have an idea
4:52
rise and fall of uh Ziggy Stardust okay
4:56
costumes and everything wow nice
5:01
of Metallica Metallica but but they they
5:04
would be competing for the headline act
5:06
would you know what Metallica I'm not
5:08
sure if you know but sometimes Metallica
5:09
do this thing where they get an
5:10
orchestra to play alongside them and
5:12
they play like acoustic
5:14
so it's not like a big Heavy Metal
5:16
Knight but it's like kind of nice
5:18
chilled
5:19
strings musicians cellos
5:22
well in the morning for a morning one

go.italki.com forward slash easy English
6:43
to start your first lesson and get ten
6:46
dollars in lesson credits I would
6:48
personally say something like Nick Cave
6:50
but it's more upbeat stuff off of like
6:52
dig Lazarus Dig yeah that's like a good
6:55
afternoon one first couple of beers in
6:57
it's a good shot that's a legacy guy you
6:58
know he's great yeah and it caves a good
7:01
shout
7:02
um
7:02
they could also be quite intense
7:05
if the band isn't uh if the band can you
7:08
know it doesn't have to exist anymore
7:10
does it no no you could be like Michael
7:11
Jackson if you like for Legends like
7:13
well let's take it easy I'm not sure I'm
7:16
not sure we should have Michael on the
7:18
bill
7:19
um how about some prints there you go
7:22
love Prince oh yeah that'd be amazing
7:23
how about Prince doing like sort of uh
7:27
when it was Prince in the New Power
7:28
Generation like that sort of era like
7:30
mid 90s prints my name is Prince yeah
7:34
yeah okay yeah yeah Diamonds and Pearls
7:36
like that sort of era and also live run
7:38
he used to like Let the Drummer Come and
7:40
sing and he'd go and play the drums yeah
7:42
yeah that was great a kind of a nice
7:43
like a a quite a long print set I think
7:47
I would take I think two or three hours
7:49
a couple of hours of prints like on the
7:52
extended version of Purple Rain yeah but
7:54
you that's like leading into an evening
7:56
isn't it yeah absolutely you want to
7:57
start with like the New Power Generation
7:58
the symbol stuff you know yeah yeah and
8:00
the artist formerly known as Prince
8:02
before it starts going into like the the
8:05
more romantic Diamonds and Pearls
8:07
diamonds and pearls and then Purple Rain
8:09
and and then that leads into the
8:11
headliner which is you've got the
8:13
biggest classical musician ever probably
8:15
the biggest pop like musician ever I
8:17
guess yes you need something big for the
8:20
evening maybe some bagpipes
8:30
yeah yeah yeah and they make like good
8:32
numbers yeah yeah I like that everyone's
8:36
expecting a huge artist Like The Rolling
8:39
Stones in the evening but it said you've
8:40
got a tribute Act maybe they can do
8:43
everything what would Harry's piece look
8:45
like how would he start
8:48
I don't know Harry Styles featuring
8:50
Louis Tomlinson or One Direction or back
8:53
you bring them back yeah is that ideal
8:55
nice like it could he do a combination
8:58
of his own stuff and One Direction sure
9:01
if I could resurrect any I would take
9:03
classic sets it would have to be them
9:06
transported from the 90s but I would
9:08
love to see like Alice in Chains and
9:10
type of negative and and Nirvana yeah
9:13
and sound garden and like classic
9:16
Smashing Pumpkins before Billy kind of
9:17
turned into sort of Uncle Fester turned
9:20
into a pumpkin into a pumpkin yeah
9:21
literally but like all that I would love
9:23
because I was a little
9:25
I was a little too young getting into
9:28
those bands I was like 13 12 13 when I
9:31
was getting into all that stuff yeah so
9:33
I never got to see those bands live in
9:35
their Prime and a lot of those records
9:37
like never mind the neutro 10.
9:39
uh super unknown like I didn't see that
9:43
those versions of the band yeah play
9:45
that stuff live and I would love to have
9:46
to be able to if I had a time machine I
9:48
would go back and see those bands in
9:50
that period uh and then what order would
9:52
you have them playing I probably start
9:54
with Pink Floyd yeah like Green Day and
9:58
then Red Hot Chili Peppers and end with
10:00
the song Danny California I really got a
10:02
song in mind it's like why why Danny
10:04
California it's just quite nostalgic for
10:08
me and it also got really good memories
10:09
with it so it's a good way to close
10:11
things off I agree I agree so now it's
10:14
time for myself and easy to pick the
10:17
music festival the easy English music
10:19
festival so I think we should be
10:22
restricted to only English artists or
10:24
bands so wake up in the morning lying in
10:27
a field
10:29
who addressed here to help you get over
10:30
your hangover who's going to help you I
10:33
had an idea earlier that we could have
10:35
early Beatles just out out of Hamburg
10:39
coming back to the UK doing for some
10:41
energy yeah A Hard Day's Night Beatles
10:44
before they went to did the whole India
10:47
like druggie thing just all the four of
10:51
them in suits High guitars yeah ball
10:54
haircuts
10:56
she loves you okay yeah yeah they
10:58
definitely will be on the list so let's
10:59
put them they have to be in the list
11:01
somewhere I think the Beatles okay
11:02
that's cemented okay lunch time you have
11:05
like a burger in your hand one beer
11:08
you're starting to kick off the day who
11:11
do you want to see on the stage when
11:12
it's still late remember that's
11:14
important it's still light
11:21
all my bands are nighttime bands yeah
11:24
the Beatles would be awesome in the
11:26
night time that's why I said the Hard
11:27
Day's Night Beatles Because that's sort
11:29
of daytime Arctic Monkeys are uh in the
11:32
afternoon Hot Summer band uh yeah like
11:36
sweaty yeah sweaty summer okay it could
11:39
be an alignment too early actor monkeys
11:42
when they're in Sheffield not when
11:43
they're in like the other in America
11:45
you want to hear our individual Festival
11:48
choices then listen to
11:50
um the podcast that follows this episode
11:51
yeah we do that The Cure
11:54
I would say also say the cure for
11:56
lunchtime it could also be evening there
11:59
but I can also imagine that they're good
12:01
like I just in my head I think um Boys
12:04
Don't Cry as the Sun is setting it's
12:06
like a really nice thing to them I'd
12:07
like to witness yeah are we still
12:10
sticking with the Beatles
12:13
I think you do and I think you have like
12:15
not not no more of the Hard Day's Night
12:18
that you have the best of Beatles kind
12:20
of the
12:21
anthemic songs you've got Hey Jude
12:24
you've got Lady Madonna these songs
12:26
everyone knows the lyrics back in the
12:29
afternoon there's a Sun is setting
12:31
and then Radiohead
12:34
depressing old rock what a downer
12:39
I think Bowie would be good here's a
12:42
here's here's a curveball The Prodigy in
12:45
the evening no too many good bands to
12:47
put down there ah that would be great

12:55
the Cure in the morning is good I like
12:57
this beat us and Bowie
12:59
David Bowie in the evening
13:02
that is good yeah he has the energy to
13:05
take a nighttime style and he can top
