if you don't know who either of them are then you are an idiot
not exactly new or obscure bands

to be fair
the way you wrote it, it looks like one name, a shit cover band of sorts

I was just trying to make your music choice seem more obscure so you can be smug.
Talking about obscure music.
Anyone recognise anyone on this list (except Mos Def)

I hear TBC are excellent :)

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:27, Reply)

yep
- Breakestra

- George Clinton with Parliament / Funkadelic

- Rodrigo y Gabriela
- Dr John
- Tunng
- The Bees

all pretty good

Breakestra is chilled beats type stuff, Tunng are electro-folk (but better than that sounds), the Bees do a cover of Killing in the name of with trumpets etc.

Rodrigo y Gabriela are two argentinian guitarists, really very good indeed.

Dr John (if the same one) did a good tune called Right Place, Wrong Time

George Clinton - you will need to be on acid

I thought you can't have been serious
the only good thing about U2 playing Glastonbury is that it prompted me to have a dream where I punched Bono in the face.

I wasn't sure myself
You see, there are one or two people on here - and I apologise for presuming NakedApe might be one of them - who openly and unashamedly fail to see what a cock Bono really is. It's best that we oppress them with extreme prejudice wherever possible.

It did seem oddly coincidentally that he did the music for that 'Curious George' film
Because, now you mention it, I can imagine Jack Johnson peeling bananas with his feet...

Of course it will, there will be loads of other good bands etc doing good stuff

as would Robert Plant be

I'm more excited by the stuff on the first list you linked than all the big name type stuff that they've got
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:57, Reply)

very little excitment there at all, no one I'd really miss not seeing
But I lean towards the rock end of the market
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:51, Reply)

Bands you'd actually pay to go and see individually, or bands you'd watch 'because they were there'?
I'd pay to see Ian Siegal, Dave Arcari, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and maybe Ray Davies and Robert Plant if he actually confirmed.

But apart from that, I've heard Seasick Steve is good live, I might see Muse out of curiosity, maybe Al Stewart, as long as he only played pre-Year of the Cat stuff...and then maybe Bodger & Badger.

they were brilliant!

I made that joke first, damn you!
also, I think they are a bit dubstep
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:45, Reply)

Fucking hell
I'd like to see a goodly few of those. Breakestra with Chali 2na (of the mighty Jurassic 5) will be brilliant, as will Rodrigo y Gabriela - Dr John is also incredible: his Gris Gris LP is utterly indispensable. George Clinton can be great or terrible (he's a crackhead)....

Seasick Steve is fucking excellent live too - as are Toots & The Maytals. Great festival performers.

I won't go on, but I'm v jealous now.

and considering the other bands there I can say without doubt that it will be better than Bloodstock
