1. Lupe Fiasco is playing, which is sweet
2. Santogold is now playing twice, with her first set being on the Thursday. This means I won't have to panic too much about Saturday clashes. This is also sweet
3. Vampire Weekend are also playing twice, which is sweet for similar reasons
4. Lykke Li is playing quite early on the Saturday
5. The Long Blondes are now playing
6. There's a band called The Chapman Family playing on the BBC Stage. As I'm going with two (unrelated) mates whose surname is Chapman, you can imagine the lols that will ring out during that particular set. aaah, high jinks
I'm actually quite looking forward to it now, which is quite surprising given how fucked off I was when the line up was first announced
POSITIVITY
I'm
still waiting for someone to tell me that Battles will be playing twice. Cooome on.

1. Lupe Fiasco is playing, which is sweet [Overrated]
2. Santogold is now playing twice, with her first set being on the Thursday. This means I won't have to panic too much about Saturday clashes. This is also sweet [Very Boring, Hate Her]
3. Vampire Weekend are also playing twice, which is sweet for similar reasons [Worst Live Band I Have Seen & WANTED to see]
4. Lykke Li is playing quite early on the Saturday [CHECK!]
5. The Long Blondes are now playing [Meh]
6. There's a band called The Chapman Family playing on the BBC Stage. As I'm going with two (unrelated) mates whose surname is Chapman, you can imagine the lols that will ring out during that particular set. aaah, high jinks [WACKY]
Sorry just being a bit pesemistic :( GLad this yeat wont be my first one
Hey!
You're a penis
:( SORRY!
But Santogold is one of the most annoying acts around right now & Vampire Weekend are just sooooo boring live, the isn't much to get excited about right now, which is a shame.
I mean I would still love to go
but i'm going to Gladstonebury instead, thats me eh! Can only go to a rip off festival :(
I'm expecting Vampire Weekend to be a bit meh
But as they're now playing twice, it means there's less chance of me missing something else in order to see them (as I will go and see them, despite the crap reports)
Also, I like Santogold. The fact that she's playing on Thursday is A Good Thing
I'd heard bad things about
Vampire Weekend live but when I saw them at Primavera I thought they were really good.
at the hoxton bar and grill
i thought vampire weekend were awesome! maybe i'm just easily pleased by their fun, poppy songs, but they were great...
the weather
aint looking too good for saturday! Please Lord... have mercy.

Whilst I'm not paying any attention to forecasts just yet
I've also resigned myself to the fact that it WILL rain
don't
forget Elbow playing in the Queens Head!
PACKED
7. should be
the fact the NYC downlow tent is back, my non-Bjork highlight from last year was dancing in there on Saturday night.
http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/glastonline.aspx?id=871
the latest weather report
looks like the French Riviera, compared to last year, and the year before.
If this is in anyway near accurate, I will be ecstatic.
It definitely will rain at some point. Fact.
As long as I don't need a wetsuit to get to my tent, it's all good.
I'm quite looking forward to it.
Road trip!
LOADS of my friends are going, last big thing together before uni.
The National.
Also I'm taking my pikachu costume :D
i remember a
pikachu costume from atp
I wish I could say that was me!
Was it well received?
That was Klaire
7.
Cut Copy are doing a live set on the Thursday too!
*makes shapes*
I am so so so excited
1. Los Camp
2. Candi Stanton
3. long Blondes
4. Kings of Leon
5. PEAR CIDER :):):):):)
pear cider
is nice, but it ain't no hot'n'spicy red wine.
Mmmmmmmmmmm......
Also
One square pie, FREE OF CHARGE
Free pie?
Want one... Where is this pie of which you speak?
:D
Due to me getting most of my mates tickets, I am getting a nice little supply of thank you favours stacked up :D
What time are you getting there?! We're there from Wednesday onwards.
Yep, Wednesday too
We're setting off in the morning, so hopefully around lunch time. This gives you five whole days to cash in your free pie!
Super.
We shall meet. I would invite you to come our visit our campsite but it will be a shit-tip and I will be ashamed of my campsite behaviour >:(
see you there!
Battles
Battles, Battles, Battles.
Battles and British Sea Power.
Don't you fooking know it!
Also, what's going down tonight?
I finish at 4
thirteh, maybe meet at about 7.30ish for a drink/toke in town? I'll give you a call about it later. I think it'll be a really good gig actually.
Also- what time are we setting off for Glasto and when can I make Susan fall in love with me?
The line up this year is
still shit.
Not as shit as your replying skillz!
At least I can
spell properly.
Its true, that spelling wasn't tongue in cheek at all.
:D
At least I have
a reasonable knowledge of grammar; i.e. where to put apostrophes and all that jazz.
Oh, be nice.
7.30 sounds good to me.
I'll be at work untill 7 so just gimme a text and I'll confirm. I'm quite looking forward to it :D
I think we're setting off mega early tbh. Want to do some courting this weekend? Maybe before le garden party?
Yes please!
I could drive us there- although that means you'd have to not drink and drive back...maybe not gonna happen.
We could go later tonight, probably makes more sense dunt it. what time do you start work? Just give me a call or something on your break maybe?
I'm starting at two.
I'm going to catch the bus straight from work so shall I just give you a call when I'm on the bus?
You forget
Closing the festival with Leonard Cohen then the National. I'm probably going to be a blubbing mess
This is stuff
that I've found out about since the initial line up announcement
The Bluetones are playing in the Leftfield tent!
Bands i'm looking forward to
The Black Lips
Band Of Horses
Los Campesinos!
Mystery Jets
The National
Yeasayer
MGMT
Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend were brilliant at Primavera and shall be again i'm sure.
Massive shame that The Hold Steady pulled out though
Yeah, I noticed they weren't on the Pyramid listings any more
That sucks. Guess that means that I won't be stepping foot in front of that stage once all weekend then
This guy has the right idea
I thought I was going to be the only one there.
you will
regret this.
Is there
a proper schedule for this yet?
This one seems pretty conclusive
http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/performance.aspx?id=2179
Much as I have grumbled about Gbury being shit
Now we get close I am finding it very odd that Battles, Band of Horses, National are all playing really near home and i'm not seeing them.
the after hours adventures in the beetroot field tent line up...
it will be on the thoroughfare between the back of the pyramid stage, and the dance village. it'll also be licenced til 3am.
last year they were stopped from doing it for some sort of sponsorship reasons but this year its back. it seems to takes the place of what was THE LOCK TAVERN tent in 2001-2005. altho in a different bit of the fest.
bill looks like this (they cant say who s on what day yet annoyingly but hey...):
Erol Alkan // The Rascals

Old news? Bite me
What if the petrol men
go on strike again and all the Glastonbury goers get stuck in Pilton?
The fact that Brother cider sent me
A massive flag and two tokens for free pints of 7% pear cider get in
!
How?!
Well I got mine for being complementary about their product on efestivals
But then they offered them on facebook.
I think all the packs are gone now.
I got a lanyard too
