Dunno. The winged monkies chasing dorothy to the Benny Hill theme tune gets me everytime.

 

[Vinnie]

Or the end where all the decapitated corpses start twitching in slow motion to 'Imagine'

 

[penexpers]

Hey final acts just announced, including

-Skream (!!!!!!)
-Mix Master Mike (though I assume he'll be playing with the Beastie Boys too.
-Apparat.

 

[DIGGIDY]

can i not go to sleep and wake up on the 31st of august??

 

[rettucs]

I cant imagine watching The Wizaed of Oz to Dark Side of the Moon. That's just plain..... dangerous.

I've seen that film 73 times so far this year.

me either. I have heard about that though, and it is meant to be freakily uncanny, in parts. I think maybe if you time the bells at the start of Time with the bit where the wicked witch of the west appears, and maybe the munchkins singing their song when Great Gig in the Sky comes on. I dunno.

how about playing Stairway to Heaven backwards 17 times instead?

 

[La La]

i cant believe this is so soon, hurrah!

im praying that dry spell is for real.

 

[cephalopod]

Apparat is playing with an orchestra!!! Sounds uber intriguing and potentially class..

The Field will be this year's Modeselektor...

 

[Tubby Tucker]

Sorry but last time I saw Modeselektor they put on a banging show. I can't imagine The Field's minmal musings creating anywhere near the same level of energy.

 

[cephalopod]

diffrent strokes for different folks...

but I think The Field will be awesome, euphoric, and completely banging!!

Bless you, myspace

Bought my tent today - a 6-man job for 2 of us, got a foldup table and chairs too, and I'm bringing a mattress and duvet rather than an oul sleeping bag. Should be luxurious!

By jaykers I'm excited about this now

 

[bloopitybloop]

I like:

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah; Sonic Youth; Bjork; Chemical Brothers; The Jesus and Mary Chain; Fionn Regan; The Good, The Bad and the Queen; The Go! Team; Malajube; Modest Mouse; Warlords of Pez; Final Fantasy; The Jimmy Cake; Dave Couse; Two Gallants; Simple Kid; Patrick Wolf; Kissaway Trail; Polyphonic Spree; Ratatat; Deerhoof; Si Schroeder; Good Shoes; Loney Dear; Architecture in Helsinki; Fight Like Apes; The Little Ones; David Turpin.

That's impossible, but Spree, Deerhoof, Patrick Wolf and Modest Mouse are my unmissables. It's gonna be a tough weekend!
