Really pleased.
Having seen that Hand Habits
Having seen that Hand Habits were playing London, and then realsising it was the same night I already had tickets for The Beths, I'm particularly happy that both of them are going to be at GM. Plus Eels, even if they can't repeat their trick from the other place of 'bringing you a double fucking rainbow'. And I see GM have already updated their Spotify playlist, which will be great for the 12+ hours of flying I've got today.

Oi! I've started a separate thread!
totting up
so the results are in
we have all done very poorly
but some, of course, have done far more poorly than others
in reverse order:
in equal last place, with a resounding zero points, are:
kras, muddy holly, electronicfreq & oap-dub
in equal fifth place, with 2 points, are:
slugger, carnie, elizabeth & mikey
sneaking a fourth place with that extra half point, on 2 and a half, it's:
a little otter
in equal third, with 3 points, we have:
smithers & wakestock
in second place, with 4 points, is:
mookid
but our winners, with a staggering 5, are:
borninthefifties &, somewhat embarrassingly, me
i would have been outright winner if i'd chosen differently in the toss up between the proper ornaments and modern nature (knowing that we obvs can't have both or they'd kill each other)
but hindsight is 20 / 20, eh?
I feel sort of proud that I
I feel sort of proud that I have so little grasp on the likely bookings for a festival. A special talent.
*Note to self*
Must stop putting Bill Callahan in my list if I'm serious about victory.
Poor effort
I had The Beth’s in my first line-up guess but annoyingly not this one, apart from that yep - way off the mark

Cheers for that, i completely missed The Beths, another must see band for me.
