I know it is almost impossible to choose just 3 but try...go on try!  

The top 3 from the weekend that I keep remembering/whistling/humming/singing more than others are:

1) Vetiver >>> More of This
2) The Leisure Society >>> A Matter of Time
3) The Dodos >>> Fools

Any more for any more? x

[perfectpassion]

1) The Duke & The King >>>If You Ever Get Famous
2) Okkervil River >>> Singer Songwriter
3) Low Anthem>>>To Ohio or Charlie Darwin (sorry not sure what I am singing)

phew x

You're a hard task master, Mr Knuckles

1) Joe Gideon and the Shark - Everything you love that much you will see again - amazingly emotional, one of our group was blubbing (and she'd never even heard of them til we dragged her along!)

2) Blitzen Trapper - Furr - Cos it's my favourite of their songs and we were inches away from them

3) The Broken Family Band - Borrowed Time - Cos it's possibly the last time we'll see them (altho' I might get along to the Garage in Oct....) and we wanted to shout "Camel"  



......and......



4) Shearwater - can't remember the name of the song, but it was the one with the duelling xylophones, which is amazing in itself, but also gave me a chance to lust over Thor   . For all I know, Sipperana was lusting over Kimberly, but that's fine by me



......and......



5) The Leisure Society - can I have the whole set? No? Oh, ok then, I'll settle for The Last of the Melting Snow......... or maybe We Were Wasted  

[sadwitch]

Darren Hayman etc- Half A Life

Darren Hayman etc- When Angels Play Their Drum Machines

Herman Dune- My Home Is Nowhere Without You

or if I'm not just being a mental about Darren Hayman, The Boy least Likely To doing anything from their set.

Explosions in the Sky - Memorial (especially the end...brutal and majestic)

Mumford & Sons - Awake my Soul (what a way to kick off the festival...)

The Tallest Man on Earth - I Won't Be Found (because it made me think of my 10 year old daughter who loves that song and who, with the rest of my gang, were kind enough to let me come away for four days to this wonderful festival. I called her mobile and left some TTMOE on her voicemail...!)

[Dibford and Son]

Okkervill River - John Allyn Smith Sails
The Duke and the King - The morning I get to hell
Fleet Foxes - Dreams

[fogged]

Dirty Projectors - Remade Horizon (was grinning from ear to ear the whole way, incredible)
Joe Gideon & the Shark - Civilisation (a trio? the power! the awe!)
Peter Broderick - Games Again (whole crowd singalong at the end is always goosebumpy)

I'm tempted to give an honourable mention to the Leisure Society's cover of 'Something', but that would be against the rules, so I won't...

<Off topic> Their whole set was amazing, especially Anything you love that much you shall see again (or whatever the correct title is), but the one that surprised me was Kathy Ray - I'd never *quite* got it on the record, but the live version was amazing </topic>

It's on the free CD with Mojo this month, along with many more

Ooh just looked it up online, looks like a pretty good tracklist (ignoring Karima Francis)... Blue Roses doing Golden Slumbers!

Tis good. Should still be on sale.

Mojo free cds are almost always quality.

Although saying that I wasn't so impressed with the White album covers cds they did.

That album was responsible for a whole wave of new bands/artists for me - Babel, Aidan Smith, Field Music, Phil Campbell.  Not to mention the bizarre chance finding of Liz Green...

The Abbey Road one has fewer bands unknown to me - and some of the bands on there (Broken Records, Gomez, Noah and the Whale) don't sound anything like themselves or the Beatles songs they're covering - though that does make for a more intriguing listen.  The only band that has caught my attention from that CD is Let's Wrestle, mainly cos they have an album called In The Court Of The Wrestling Let's
