Mr Frank Turner's self-confirmed for the lock-up stage on the Friday. That he's been able to officially say he's playing means that a new lineup annoucnment is iminent surely?

Kinda a poor man's Billy Bragg.
Has a song called 'Thatcher Fucked the Kids' which is a bit embarrassing in a kinda Rik from the young ones sorta way.

arg and the clashes begin. Less than Jake and rage, CSS and 'tallica. ...sure i'll live though Flogging molly were really impressive 2 years back, drunken is highly recomended though! King Blues were immense supporting anti-flag a while back - well worth a look. Lightspeed champion is pretty cool, but bizarrely hyped (cover of NME - what?!) Robots in disguise should be good for a laugh. ...yeah, there is a lot more stuff i'm interested in than usual at this point. By the reverse logic of previous years i'm gonna predict it's gonna be awful.

Nice to see The Music back, wonder what their new material is like? Missed Seasick Steve last year, so great to get a second chance to see him :-)

Yeah, I missed Seasick Steve too. Probably stuffing my face somewhere. Or drinking. Or both. But not at the same time - that's just bad table manners.
So far, I'm interested in: QOTSA, Serj Tankian, Raconteurs, Seasick Steve, Metallica, Tenacious D, Slipknot, Dropkick Murphys and Lightspeed Champion.
Sunday looks way too busy, though. Reckon I'll see four or five of those in total...

Seasick Steve is a very average bluesman with a nice gimmick. Totally fail to see why he is making so much cash but I guess there are worse people earning more.
Still completely underwhelmed with this year's line up...anyone wanna buy a ticket?

When I say I'm interested in those acts, it's insofar as them being the best of a (very) poor bunch. Intersting how satisfaction with the festival declines with age - do you think these two things are related in any way? Answers on the back of a buss pass...
