Talking about obscure music.
Anyone recognise anyone on this list (except Mos Def)
www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/news/west-holts-stage-and-line-up-announced
Some of my friends seem very excited.

- 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 really can heartily recommend Breakestra, Rodrigo etc. and Tunng

are the more Hispanic verion of The Bronx, currently the greatest punk/rock band on the planet.

the only good thing about U2 playing Glastonbury is that it prompted me to have a dream where I punched Bono in the face.

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.

Jack Johnson, in his defence, hasn't told me I should be giving more money to the poor and needy whilst spending thousands of quid on a stupid pair of sunglasses...

Because, now you mention it, I can imagine Jack Johnson peeling bananas with his feet...

and they're aren't ones I'm particularly fussed about seeing
that actually surprises me somewhat

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

But I lean towards the rock end of the market

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.

also, I think they are a bit dubstep

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.
