Man, what a disappointing lineup! Seeing the timetable and doing a virtual plan of how I'd 'navigate' the day really reinforces it...

lol yeah #1 has a point that seeing the timetable makes it look like a bit of a snoozefest day....good thing I like BDO for more than just the bands, and intend to go anyway-and it's been similar BDOs in the past (where the lineup's been a bit meh) where I've been able to sample a lot of stuff I've never heard of, drifting from stage to stage just sampling new things, and found myself loving it. Yeah an awesome lineup would be mean but at the same time if you're spending your whole day only seeing the bands that you know it kinda limits you from just wandering around and finding something new that could be your next great musical love affair...

Ahh, BDO, I can smell it. Print+Highlighter here we come!

Elston Guuuuuuuun!

I actually thought the timetable this year was pretty good - the last couple of years I've missed bands due to clashes (for example the Rage-Brand New-LCD Soundsystem clash in 2008 or the Arctics-Hot Chip and Neil Young-Fantomas clashes in 2009) but this year looks pretty good.

At worst I'll miss a wee bit of either Mars Volta or Rise Against due to travelling between stages (not too worried about missing any of Dizzee/Lily). I'm also gonna end up missing Girl Talk, sadly, but its no biggie.
