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

1:50

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

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

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
