Top tips

Everyone seems to have put together their 2008 year end lists (everyone, that is, apart from me - still to come, honest...) - here's Emily Eavis's from today's Glastonbury newsletter:

"1. Little Joy - Little Joy
2. Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
3. Hot Chip - Made In The Dark
4. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
5. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
6. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
7. Nick Cave - Dig, Lazarus, Dig
8. Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night
9. MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
10. Coldplay - Viva La Vida
"

If this is any kind of indication of how this year's bill might shape up, then Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver and Nick Cave would do very nicely indeed, thankyouverymuch. Of the rest, I can't see Kings Of Leon being invited to play again, but Coldplay could be in line to headline again and Vampire Weekend, Elbow and MGMT would hardly be surprise choices for prominent Pyramid Stage slots.

Could be a lot worse. Hopefully by the summer, MGMT will have learnt how to put a live show on...

Looking forward to your best ofs. I'm whittling mine done now.
