very very very exciting. been so distracted at work this week have just been thinking/planning glasto. Im so excited for loads of random bands, here are my probable top 10 excitements

• Regina Spektor
• The Maccabees
• Q-Tip
• Badly Drawn Boy
• Bon Iver
• Blur
• White Lies
• N*E*R*D
• The Streets
• The Specials

I've never really listened to Blur's back catalogue but i reckon they're the sort of band i'd probably love. Cannot wait for them. After N*E*R*D's confirmation that they are playing on the Friday, i had a bit of an excited day dream today. Mr Hudson, NERD and Q-Tip all playing the same day, linked with the Kanye rumours, and the fact that he is probably in the country, i thought maybe hed come on for all 3! would be so awesome. unlikely tbh....
glastonbury review to come after the festy!

I'm admittedly 5 days late on posting about this, but it doesnt matter. Q-Tip headlining the JazzWorld Stage on the Friday! It's going to be amazing. The line up is brilliant, here are the bands im excited about.
Maximo Park, The Specials, Lily Allen, Fleet Foxes, Regina Spektor (:D), Bloc Party, Friendly Fires, White Lies, The Maccabees, Mr Hudson, Doves, Jamie T, Jack Penate, Q-Tip, The Streets, The Big Pink, Dan Le Sac, Annie Mac, Chipmunk, Timo Maas, Kasabian, Dizzee Rascal, Pendulum, Paulo Nutini, Pete Doherty, Peter, Bjorn and John, Passion Pit, Gaslight Anthem, Bon Iver, MWard, 2 Many DJs, La Roux, Wiley, Eric Prydz, Badly Drawn Boy!, Blur, Madness, Tom Jones, Amadou and Mariam, Prodigy, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, GoodBooks, Black Eyed Peas, Roots Manuva, Calvin Harris, High Contrast etc etc

Although there will be some baaaad clashes, notably Maccabees/Regina!
Q-Tip will play at least 3 or 4 Quest songs! Aparently he's played Check the Rhyme solo before, though im not sure how that'd work without Phife. Scenario is a definate, verses from the abstract, electric relaxation, award tour, bonita applebum are good bets.
Here is a live vid of scenario with Busta, absolutely sik.
the crowd goes so mental for Busta
Q-Tip is a great live performer from the vids ive seen on youtube. If the NERD rumours are true, i wouldnt be surprised to see Pharrell bust on stage and if Kanye makes an appearance with Hudson he may well come on for Q-Tip!
On Q's version of the line-up De La Soul were on the JW stage before Q-Tip, but not on anyone elses line-up. If its true...Buddy!
