Intensity in tent cities

The full Glastonbury lineup was announced this morning. I'm feeling slightly underwhelmed by it - too much turgid NME-style indie rock (e.g. Razorlight, The Killers etc) and not enough decent dance music. However as always the more you look the more people you realise you want to see.

Kylie & The Kaiser Chiefs are probably the only two on my 'absolutely must see whatever the circumstances' list. The following also caught my eye out of the lineup though, and if I happen to be sitting round chomping down mushrooms while they are playing I will be a happy man: White Stripes; Brian Wilson; Hayseed Dixie; New Order; Interpol; Tom Vek; The Go! Team; M.I.A.; Willy Mason; 2 Many DJs; Whitey; M83; Bloc Party; Futureheads; Art Brut; Roots Manuva; Femi Kuti; DJ Format; Squarepusher; The Bays; Mark One; Nouvelle Vague... and of course... CHAS 'N' DAVE and THE PROCLAIMERS! Hopefully the Lock Tavern will be back as well this year.. had a couple of great nights there last time with Bugged Out & Sonic Mook Experiment.

The lineup is fairly irrelevant at Glastonbury anyway. To be honest these days I seem to fritter away my days drinking tea with assorted weirdos in the green fields, and the nights seeking out madness and badness. The best band I saw last year were The Beat (of 'Mirror in the Bathroom' fame) at 5am in Lost Vagueness. Attempting to ska dance while up to your knees in indiscribable mud wearing a sombrero and tuxedo is an experience you can only have in Pilton.

If anyone can recommend to me some of the numerous bands i've not heard of I would be glad of your tips!
