Glastonbury Festival GAGA
16 Jul 2009 | de www.therakes.co.uk
The Rakes did a cover of poker face by GAGA during our set on the other stage, although I think the audience was too stoned to notice the irony. Alan thinks she looks like an ugly prostitute. I think she’s quite fit. Lasse and Matt are undecided. Different horses different courses. … -
