A very different festival this year so far for me. Haven't cared for the Woods headliners (other than Mogwai and Grandaddy) previously.

Caitlin Rose would have been on the list but I saw her earlier this week and I'll not be too bothered about seeing her again this year.

Still have to hear many of the bands announced and I'm sure they'll be some good ones

1. Belle and Sebastian ( A favourite if mine that I've yet to see live)

2. Warpaint (very inspired and unexpected addition by the organisers !)

4. Sigur ros

5. Daughter

6. Evening Hymns (one of my favourite discoveries as a result of the line up)

7.Frightend Rabbit

8.Jens Lekman

9. Woodpecker Wooliams

I've still got lots of the new announcements to listen to so hopefully there will be even more to look forward to . Not too much though or there could be some truly unbearable clashes coming my way. My tickets are already seeming like good value for money , or they would do if I hadn't had to pay for 2 teenagers !!! There was no way they were going to be left out though.

Really hoping that they will get Peter Broderick on board. Then I think my festival will be complete.

[Infinite Jest]

Frightened Rabbit

John Murry

Allo Darlin'

Dinosaur Jr

Sigur Ros

David Byrne / St Vincent (mainly for the few Talking Heads songs)

Savages

King Khan

The Leisure Society

Definitely subject to change, there's a lot I haven't listened to yet.

1) Sigur Ros 2) Dinosaur Jr 3) Belle & Sebastian 4) Warpaint 5) David Byrne & St Vincent 6) Warpaint 7) Savages 8)Marc Mulcahy 9) Freightened Rabbit 10) Palma Violets.

Not made up my mind about wether to make a spotify playlist of the whole line-up and then try and see certain bands or just stumble across stuff.

I could also possibly move B&S cos I'll see them at bestival. But from experience I know the more opportunity I have to see a band, its even less likely to actually happen.

[Infinite Jest]

A Spotify playlist you say? Here's mine. Basically every album I could find by all the bands (excluding live albums and comps):
