it might of been cus it uses last fm though and wildhearts are top of my last.fm but still was wierd to hear them on that site.

They're not on the line-up so i assume not. Maybe it was your player then.

Just had a look at the website, hmmm!!

And people were complainingg that our Download was going to be shit this year!! (It wasn't by the way).

I thought the idea was to export the brand, culture and experience of the Download as an event.

Looking at the line ups, it reminds of the lager on sale this year - watered down and weak!

yeah but one of the bands is called "Natalie Portman's shaved head" whcich has got to be worth something.
interesting that in the uk download brings a chance for punters to see loads of big name metal bands ( largely american) whereas the american version seems to feature half a dozen bands i've never heard of plus the jesus and mary chain, who aren't exactly huge these days.
