I couldn’t find a Bestival 2008 Clashfinder, so I made my own rough and ready version. Feel free to download and print it. Please don’t blame me for any lack of perfection. Do let me know if there are any hideous errors. Cheers.
Bestival 2008 Friday Line Up
Bestival 2008 Saturday Line Up
Bestival 2008 Sunday Line Up
The full list of stages and acts has not been released yet. Bestival wants more of my money for their programme; the mean bastards. I would buy a programme anyway, but carrying around an A4 sheet that I don't mind making a mess of is preferable, for weight and convenience.
I have great plans to see Slow Club at an in-store show tomorrow. Okay, I've already seen them twice this year, up close and personal, but I want more. More!
Fabpants Recommends:
Three Bestival 2008 Artists (with names that start with L)
Le Volume Courbe - Charlotte Marionneau sings sweet twee songs, reminiscent of Isobel Campbell and Nico. Sometimes the soft twang of a shy unimposing guitar, and the deep sob of a mournful harmonica, add a country feel.

Lucky Elephant.
This band makes wistful, melodic music to fuck with your mind. Their songs make me happy and sad at the same time. They take me on a very lovely journey. Needless to say, the first cut of The Crimea's 'Tragedy Rocks' may never be bettered in this regard. Dark lyrics contrast with pretty music. If you want to see my happy side, better tell me that my girl just died.
Download MP3: Let’s Wrestle - I Won’t Lie To You (courtesy of acertainromance.com).
This is a perfect little gem of a tune. It bounces, tells a story and is bleak. You don’t need to be pitch perfect to make a great tune. This song really does sound like it was made in a garage, one with a very dead car and some gnarly battered instruments in it. Okay, it’s a terrible tune, but terrible is sometimes good, especially when the lyrics contribute so well to my subject header.

A Bit of a Gig Blog
I've seen hundreds of bands in tiny venues. Some go on to headline festivals. A greater number never find their way out of the fleapits. Many are bloody brilliant. I love going to gigs. When I get it together, I sometimes rave about good gigs here.
