Music publications can be accused of lingering on one subject for way too long. Music Times is just as guilty as any. British publications typically go nuts during the weekend of Glastonbury, arguably the world's most-hyped music festival. The 2015 version of events has set a new absurd high as music writers obsess over every breath Kanye West took during his much-ballyhooed set. So much so that ten different headlines at NME published on Sunday featured the words "Kanye West" in their headlines...plus another two or three where West was the main image for the article.
Here are the headlines, in chronological order. Seemingly, the publication wrote recaps of his set by segment:
01) "Kanye West and Kim Kardashian post selfie as they fly in to Glastonbury by helicopter"
02) "BBC tell viewers to 'expect bad language' during Kanye West's Glastonbury set"
03) "Kanye West's Glastonbury headline set polarizes Twitter as fans react"
04) "Kanye West's Glastonbury stage invader, comedian Lee Nelson, wanted to 'give him a hand'
05) "Kim Kardashian, Chris Martin and Lewis Hamilton among stars to attend Kanye West's Glastonbury set"
06) "Kanye West calls Bon Iver's Justin Vernon 'one of the baddest white boys on the planet'"
07) "Kanye West brings Bon Iver, Queen cover and claim (sic) he's 'greatest living rock star' to Glastonbury"
08) "The funniest internet reactions to Kanye West's Glastonbury headline slot"
09) "Kanye West headlines Glastonbury 2015: Five Huge Talking Points"
10) "Defiant Kanye West confronts Glastonbury critics with one-man masterclass-review"
Now, in NME's defense, they also had plenty of coverage for The Libertines' surprise set, as well as for fellow headliner Florence + The Machine. Plus, we can only imagine this will be nothing compared to what Relix's coverage of the Grateful Dead's conert series next weekend will be.
