I prefer marmalade

What in the name of all things bizarre and freakish is Paolo Nuttella's live performance from Glastobury all about? Is he slurring? Is he doing it on purpose? Has someone told him it sounds good? It's genuinely uncomfortable viewing, and not just because it involves watching, and unfortunately hearing, the songs of Paolo Nuttella.
The Dirty Pretty Things set looked promising from the three minutes we got of it earlier, and the highlights of yesterday have been enjoyable enough. That's what I like about the Beeb's Glasto coverage. While never particularly essential, it's comforting like cricket commentary on the radio. Plus, with the red button, it introduces an element of mental anguish as you sit there constantly worrying that you might be missing out on something good over on one of the other video streams.
