The 'Joanna Newsom' Slot

How about Beck?

How about Devendra Banhart or stick on Flight of the Conchords...either one will be a perfect hangover cure from a huuuuuge Saturday night!

But that unicorn, he stirs up like a mule

What about The Cure or The Smiths, both would be amazing playing acoustic sets.

Is clearly gonna be Slash now he has a new album out.

SUFJAN SUFJAN

What are you on about, the guy above you saying a The Smiths acoustic set has surely got it nailed on?

a tactical rub with the tips of the fingers just below the balls usually eradicates shaking of the tent, and makes for a very interesting fap

No way to both of ya, Its obvious, cos Scouting For Girls have a new single/ album... 
haha

What about if Robert Wyatt did it. I'm sure he'll be convinced by the fact young Ornette Coleman and Prime Time are definitely 100% playing.

what ever the drug that leads to such pure optimism you are on, i want some...seriously, prime disbanded over ten years ago...wyatt will never play a festival, and why should he when there are idiots like me who would willingly pay £50 + to see him in a concert hal

He's perfect though. They're never gonna get someone over from the US solely for the slot and if Sufjan or someone like that came over for a load of shows then it wouldn't be special enough for the show. He's basically the only person whose sound fits it and Latitude are probably the only people groovy enough to throw money at him to convince him to get out of his shed.

Also it would get you and Moochoo into the countryside and into some fresh air for a while.

Love to see SLASH in the joanna newsom slot , the single of the new album was on radio today its very good,sounds a bit LED ZEP

I agree but I think that this slot will be reserved for something softer like Surfjan Stevens, though I could be wrong, he said he wanted something different so you never know....

Like gravity, karma is so basic we often don't even notice it.  
 

I really don't think anyone else other than Ms Newsom should play it. What do we reckon the chances of that actually happening are? She's playing Green Man and touring atm.. speaking of Green Man, Beirut would also be sufficient in this slot.

If the talk of something radically different is true, then it's quite unlikely to be Joanna Newsom again. To be fair, I haven't heard her new album so she could have become a riddim-riding bashment MC for all I know.

Should probably just let THE PAINS have this slot now they're self confirmed for the Sunday. They could play the album about 3 times over in the hour slot.

I've been saying for a while it would be good is Newsom brought herself into the 20th century with some slick hip-hop producers. Imagine her singing about running away to the circus with rabbits and owls, or whatever, over Madlib and Sa-Ra Creative Partners.

I would usually agree with you about Beirut, but after seeing them last year performing what could have been the most underwhelming gig ever, I'll pass.

Bonnie Prince Billy on the other hand, who blew me away last year, would be more than welcome for that slot.

What about if they smoked John Tickle out of hiding and got him to sit around being nice for an hour?

He'd use his Brainiac science skills to find a way to survive without coming out.

What about Bob Dylan? He is headlining at Hop Farm with... Laura Marling, Mumford and Sons, Pete Doherty and Seasick Steve in the Line-up in early July.......  what you think?

Nah, its gonna be Jimmy Cliff

What if there was a black person rapping ?

Then I would probably give it a miss, not because of the black person.... because of the rapping.... :P

Only the  LOCALS will get this  its going to be  THE  PUPPET MAN from norwich and yarmouth market.

Very funny!

I'm still going with Peter Gabriel with strings.

Richard Ashcroft acoustic - bet on it.

Lightspeed Champion? He was meant to be here the last two years, he kind of owes us!

Latitude 07-12, 07 and 11 camped. Saturday only for 08,09, 10, 12
Reading Festival 12, camping. 

Lightspeed Champion is way too small. And he isn't good enough, either.
And he probably wouldn't turn up...

Pixies for Sunday Slot a possibility now?

No he's MOR rubbish
Pixies yes - We need some MEAT!

Having just heard the album, this is what we need:

1x David Byrne
1x Norman Cook

Several musicians
Several strong female voices 
(Florence is already there, but they could find some from other groups/ bring in session people)

1x deck chair (for me)
Free gin

And then they can perform Here Lies Love in full, in costume...

and probably just in my dreams. 
Good idea?

It's gotta be someone solo surely? would follow on logically..

Love his music.... "Like Humans Do" is a lovely song.....

Melvyn was going on about it being something different, and here lies love IS different...

Either that or Flight of the Conchords/ Peter Gabriel/ Richard Ashcroft. Have a terrible feeling it could be Paul Weller doing his thoroughly dull new album though.

Would LOVE it to be Richard Ashcroft..... Please.....?

David Byrne! (but without Norman Cook)
