            <description><![CDATA[<strong>Glastonbury: King of the Festivals.</strong>
<p>By Fran Tatman</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>The last rays of the soft June sun beam down on a sea of upturned and eccentrically happy faces splattered with Somerset mud, as countless smiles flash in the golden light, the screech of a guitar being tuned is greeted by thousands of contented sighs… <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Glastonbury has begun.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p>Upon entry, any newcomer is greeted by an extraordinary vista that appears to be a scene from the world war two trenches, into which have wandered thousands of people who, dress-code aside, seem to have stepped through the looking glass and who are mildly if not seriously (and certainly happily) intoxicated. Welcome to Glastonbury festival: home of the cider, the music and the mud.</p>
<p>Aside from the alternate-reality buzz, Glastonbury maintains that wonderful feeling of being its own miniature world, where it is perfectly appropriate for mounted police officers to don fairy wings, and for grown men to walk around in Power Ranger costumes. A world where, conversing with complete strangers is not only condoned but necessary to survive. A world you feel immediately at one with.</p>
<p>Of course our Glastonbury is a million miles away from its simple muddy roots. In September 1970 Michael Eavis and 1,500 festival goers turned his small dairy farm, in a tiny corner of the Somerset countryside into a music paradise.  Today 180,000 people descend on Pilton to take part in the legendary magic. And yet for all that, Glastonbury retains the calm, peacefully riotous thrill it has been renowned for since those dreamy days when admission was £1 (and included fresh milk from the cows).</p>
<p>Needless to say music is the beating heart of Glastonbury driving the frenetic activity around the site. When Muse takes to the stage on Saturday night, the atmosphere is fully charged and electric as the crowd wait restlessly. Opening notes flood the air sending the gathered masses into frenzy. As the band, led by Matt Belamy, roar out enchantingly crafted guitar rifts twisted into crowd-pleasing favourites and incredibly convincing showmanship. By the end we are all more than a little in love. However this was not the case with the Gorillaz who relying on their overwhelming graphics, played a confusing but endless array of new material, leaving an uninspired crowd to wait somewhat bored for the end of the set to arrive for a supercharged rendition of Fell Good Inc. At Glastonbury it is always worth a wander to see what is going on, a quick meander might show Keane playing an acoustic set on the Avalon stage, a little off the beaten track or the next big thing at BBC introducing that simply sweeps you away. But all this gives way before Sunday night when a giant takes centre stage. Whether young or old, and whatever music tastes you have, Stevie Wonder is simply incredible. With songs that sweep you up and twirl you around till your singing along (whether you know the words or not).</p>
<p>When the last day finally draws to a close; a few short days have felt like an eternity, many people have begun to pack away broken tents and mounds of muddy clothing, an air of subdued anticipation blankets the site. As night slowly descends thousands of people voyage towards the main stages for a final au revoir to the magical world they have felt at home in for these tragically fleeting days.</p>
<p>Some diverge heading off the beaten track to the soft and gentle kiss goodbye that is the Acoustic tent.  Others meander towards the friendly parting embraces of the Jazz Stage or the infamous John Peel Stage. The Jazz Stage is familiarly known for its subtle blend of old and new, seamlessly forged into a sleek and smooth stage for all ages, whereupon the John Peel Stage set in the confines of a warm, vibrant tent is something entirely different. Named after the late John Peel who loved Glastonbury so much, it is a flawless collection of mature and fresh music, with an underlining spark of energy that no one can deny, a force that just wills you to jump and scream and dance. The final vast crowd divides between the two biggest stages on site. Many chose The Other Stage - a vibrant decadent centre of youth and pure vitality, surrounding some of the largest bands on the current scene, a space dedicated to expressing the frequenters vivacity and love of live.</p>
<p>But the highlight to any Glastonbury experience lies at the centre of this tumultuous other world. The legendary silhouette throws a bold shape against a violent, vibrant sunset. The Pyramid-stage; an awe-inspiring construction nestled into the natural scenery of the Somerset fields. 70,000 people gather in the starlight on this final night. This is the heart and soul of Glastonbury, home to the world’s best musicians and a symbol of the herculean effort and love inspired by this festival, an alter at which music and the arts are worshipped by an awe-inspired crowd.</p>
<p>What defines Glastonbury as such a phenomenal experience is not the incredible line-ups they produce unfalteringly every year. Nor is it the sheer magnitude of the 200,000 guests. It is the life and soul that is invested in creating a wonderland, that is not only utterly believable but also contrives to feel familial, at Glastonbury you truly feel a better person, more alive than ever before.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you've been to a festival this summer, just write us a very short review and email us at info@hubalicious.org and we'll put it up on the website for all to see!</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Art Is Hard Records" src="http://www.hubalicious.org/images/stories/40317_138255689544197_135051126531320_181534_6712326_n.jpg" height="435" width="331" /><br /><br />Art Is Hard Records is a new independent record label based in the South West. Their first release, Brink Of The Clouds, is a compilation of local alternative and indie bands with a twist... they are releasing it as a t-shirt! The shirt comes with a download code for the compilation sewn inside.</p>
<p><strong>Why are they releasing it as a t-shirt</strong>?<br />"We're trying to give people something they couldn't get just from downloading whilst also reflecting the fact people buy cassettes, cd's and vinyl without even listening to them so is there any real need to release music on a musical format?"</p>
<p>Brink Of The Clouds is £9 and available from their <a href="http://artishardrecords.tumblr.com/">website</a>.</p>]]></description>
