wish-list

[Christophales]

right then, still another bunch of artists to go so how about an old-fashioned wish-list? You never know, the organisers might just be looking and think "ah yeah way to go thats a way better idea than what we had, lets book them instead".

... well, you never know. Lets say 5 that are within the bounds of reality and a couple of wildcards that would never happen

Anyway, here's mine based on records from the last year or so:

The Twilight Sad

A Whisper in the Noise

Polica

Son Lux

Apparat

Unlikely:

Jeff Mangum

Liars

[seadragon]

If they book Jeff Mangum or The Music Tapes or The Minders I'll buy a ticket and take back everything I've said about this year's lineup being dull

[eagles69]

Suckers

Polica

Dum Dum Girls

Anais Mitchell

Ladyhawk new album coming out

[Tom_Tom]

ummm........

Kurt Vile

Wild Beasts

Stornoway

Yuck

Unlikely:

Bon Iver

The Shins

[RedRockRick]

Live Faves:

Frog Holler

James McMurtry

Maybe Pete

Matt Mays & El Torpedo

Hackensaw Boys

South Austin Jug Band

Unlikely but there's hope:

Acker Bilk

Really Tall Band Section (unsuitable for the Tipi):

The Izzies

The Sadies

THE POLYPHONIC SPREE

[Timberford]

If even just one of these bands were announced that would be incredible...

Real Estate

Beach Fossils

Summer Camp

Lower Dens

The Radio Dept.

[RedRockRick]

How could I have forgotten Lucero?

[ljsawyer]

The Radio Dept. would be incredible, but I don't think that's ever going to happen.

[ElGanzo]

Another shout for The Radio Dept, and Real Estate or Lower Dens would also be amazing! Mentioned on another thread, but would love to see Deerhunter.

Also any of these would be amazing:

Withered Hand

La Sera

Mazzy Star

Sharon van Etten

Destroyer

Damien Jurado

Jens Lekmann

Meursault

[iamnotahero]

Sharon Van Etten and Lower Dens would be awesome additions. Both are playing at The National's ATP though, so for me it would have to be:

The Black Atlantic

The Kissaway Trail

Of Monsters and Men

wildcards

Ryan Adams

The Shins

Here's mine:

Destroyer

Not sure if any of these have exclusives with other festivals but they're all touring this summer and would be perfect fits.

You have been at the sherry again?

I was so busy worrying about the headliners I didn't realise what you said....

How dare you....my copies of The Lady are perfectly organised, unfortunatly I now have to go and sort out the back issues of Simply Knitting and Camping & Caravaning.

The Twilight Sad

Admiral fallow

Graffiti6

Hawklsey Workman

The Dears

[Infinite Jest]

_{From the "be reasonable, demand the impossible" files:}

_{Patti Smith is in Europe in August/September. She has no gigs listed between 28 August and 4 September, when she plays Newcastle.}

_{How good would that be?}

_{(The answer is "very good, Simon. Very good indeed").}

[wackojackohighcliffe]

Yeah, would be lovely, a great performer I've heard and Because The Night should make an epic singalong. Do it!

[RedRockRick]

I did a run of the birthday shows she did annually, 30th December I think, and despite all the posturing, she puts on a pretty magnetic show.

[ljsawyer]

If I could choose just one band to play the festival, it'd be Ryan Bingham (& The Dead Horses)

[wackojackohighcliffe]

How about Swans - new 2 1/2 hour album out this summer
