Glasto recommendations

As an aid to seeking out more Good New Stuff this Glastonbury, here is the lineup, I would like (please) recommendations from you fine people for acts I should go to see. It's probably safest to assume I've not seen most of the stuff on offer.

The clock is ticking now - I picked up parental van this weekend. Now I just need to pack...

Sadly, [livejournal.com profile] saffie1981 can't make it this time, so I shall be on my own. Scared now. People on my f'list who are going, come and say hello to me! :-)

I found the Guardian's version of the lineup easier to read:

People I'm looking out for: Bjork (who will surely lay on a good show, never mind the music); Mr Hudson and the Library (white-boy rap plus gratuitous librarian reference); The Hold Steady (rough-voiced Americana); Bat For Lashes (madwoman with piano); Piney Gir (twangy country from Oxfordshire); Beirut (fake Eastern European fiddling); Tunng (folk songs with strange percussion). But I'm prepared to miss anything for the sake of company without mud.

See you there!

Hmm, I've heard someone else mention Piney Gir, so I think I'll pencil that one in for sure.

Perhaps I should invite people round to my van for tea (or beer), then... :)
