Bland Aid?
On the Scottish line-up for Live 8, Alister says:
"Jesus what a bland, insipid, anaemic line-up. I will have to try to make the mysterious 'long walk to justice' rally (of which details seem to be secret) just to avoid accidentally hearing any of this mob...(more)."
Alister has made a very good point. Scotland could do much better than this. Considering some of the truly excellent Scottish indie/alternative bands, Live 8 is risking turning Murrayfield into a damp, middle of the road, squib. My suggestion is that the Scottish bloggers (and the Scottish bloggers in exile) should campaign for a better line-up by making thier own fantasy Live 8 Murrayfield line-up. Failing that they should could easily have thier own alternative Live 8 to accomodate the better bands.
