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)
www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/news/west-holts-stage-and-line-up-announced
Some of my friends seem very excited.

I hear TBC are excellent :)

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 really can heartily recommend Breakestra, Rodrigo etc. and Tunng

maybe I should have added the old [!]

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:38, Reply)

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.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:39, Reply)

A wet dream?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:40, Reply)

I got the sarcasm
Perhaps we *do* need sarc marks
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:39, Reply)

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.

jack johnson was the giveaway
i hate him more
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:44, Reply)

I don't know who I find more annoying musically
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...
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:51, Reply)

i worked in a bookshop where he was played incessantly
it just gets worse and worse
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:54, Reply)

I don't mind his music too much
I just really can't stand his face
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:56, Reply)

There's something dreadfully...smug about it, isn't there?

(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:59, Reply)

he looks like an ape

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 16:15, Reply)

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...
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 16:16, Reply)

It is going to rock,
I don't care what you think.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:38, Reply)

Of course it will, there will be loads of other good bands etc doing good stuff
U2 and JJ are not who i would want to see popping up first taht's all
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:39, Reply)

I bet everyone on here could find 5 bands they like in this list
www.glastowatch.co.uk/glastonbury-line-up/
(PsychoChomp, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:42, Reply)

only about 5 though
and they're aren't ones I'm particularly fussed about seeing

that actually surprises me somewhat
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:44, Reply)

but there are always drums
lots of hippies playing drums.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:45, Reply)

I want to see Dolly Parton and Pavement.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:46, Reply)

and Duran Duran,
and Stevie Wonder and Dizzee Rascal
(PsychoChomp, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:47, Reply)

Pavement will be fucking awesome
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.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:50, Reply)

i saw bodger and badger at Glastonbury on two occassions
they were brilliant!

mashed pota, mashed pota mashed potaaaa
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:52, Reply)

Yeah, actually, I'd pay to see Bodger and Badger.

(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:54, Reply)

I might go, then
I'm pretty sure I owe Jack Johnson a murderising
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:38, Reply)

TBC
are an excellent grindcore folk crossover band
(Halfy By light alone, Wed 7 Apr 2010, 15:43, Reply)

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.
