I know I'm a music snob, and I am the first to admit it. But if Interflora ever introduced a back-patting service, I would send their entire staff down to Worthy Farm at the crack of dawn to award everyone at chez Eavis.

The controversy over the inclusion of Jay-Z is a good enough place to start. I don't get on with all that hippety hop stuff myself, but Glasto is about diversity and to include a rapper in the line up is representative of that diversity. Although I don't think he should be on the Pyramid stage. Maybe an introduction of a new stage (perhaps 1Xtra could get involved). The only worry is who this will attract to the farm. Before you all gasp, I'm not referring to black people. I'm referring to chavs. I'm sure Jay-Z has a huge following among the tracksuited, capped, bus shelter loitering, White Lightening drinking little brats who can't string a sentence together without saying "innit" afterwards. The presence of chavs will create an atmosphere, usually I'm with Russ Abbott, who loves a party with a happy atmosphere, but a party with a happy atmosphere this won't be. It will be an atmosphere of intimidation and "U dissin me bro innit"

My usual haunts during the festival are the John Peel stage, the acoustic and the occasional jaunt over to "Other" and even more occasional visits to the main stage. This year, unless there's some clashing in which case I'll flip a coin, I will be making the most effort with...

Jimmy Cliff, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Buddy Guy, Seasick Steve, The Feeling, The Fratellis, The Cribs, Ting Tings, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, Panic At The Disco, Vampire Weekend, Holy Fuck, The Wombats, Neville Staple, Neon Neon, The Zutons, The Beat, Dirty Pretty Things, Billy Bragg, Pigeon Detectives, Scouting For Girls, Phill Jupitus, MGMT,Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs.

Anything else is a bonus. The biggest surprise (some areas of the press call it a "curve ball" others a "wild card". I call it a surprise), is Shakin' Stevens. This sums up the very spirit of the festival, having something on that shouldn't really be on but works so well on a fun, school disco-ish level. Maybe Showaddywaddy next year?

James Blunt? Will Young? NO! I don't approve of either to be honest. As I said in my bulletin earlier, the world supply of plastic bottle to piss in and throw will engulf and swallow Worthy Farm.

I also don't really think Kate Nash should be on either, they had the real Lily Allen last year so why have they booked her tribute act? Or is it some package deal to get The Cribs? "Yeeeah, right.....errr.......can me gerrrrlfrend play if we plaaaay?"

Despite the Blunt/Young mistake there is one other trick that has been missed, and I cannot believe that nobody in the whole organisation thought of it for a last minute curve balling wild card showing surprise. It would have been the camp, kitch talking point of the whole thing, hair would be collectively let down and every body would have partied like it was 1987! The biggest GLOBAL star of this year, who despite his new found superstardom, would have been cheap. Not only cheap, but cheerful. I don't for a minute think he should be on the main stage, but hidden away somewhere on the bill. Somebody who is absolutely NOT Glastonbury material, but would have given off the ironic, let's pretend we're kids malarkey off brilliantly. Rick Astley. He of the Rick-rolling bonanza that has wasted time with a gusto that you can only achieve by something so daft, but so effective. Next year it'll be too late and the moment will have passed. But if the rumours have any glimmer of truth about them, and this is the last Glastonbury, then the Eavis family will forever be thinking "what if?"
