Pukkelpop 2008 line-up: first names

My ears are still buzzing from Polsslag, and there they are: the first load of names for Pukkelpop. You can find (if you have some time ;)) all names on the official site, below some highlights and acts I'll probably check out, if I'm in Belgium mid August, that is:

The Bloody Beetroots: oh yeah, I'd love to see a rerun of their Polsslag-performance in a packed Boiler Room.

Crookers: never seen them before, but heard a lot of good. Like their remixes, especially the AC/DC-remake.

Brodinski: loved him at Les Transardentes earlier this year, and will probably check him out next Saturday in Petrol, Antwerp. If so, report will follow ;)

Yuksek: live? Let's go! Maybe his pal Brodinski will join him on stage.

Dusty Kid: also live, love his 'The Cat', and curious about more.

Radioclit: only know 'Divine Gosa', which makes me bounce, so let's check them out too.

Tocadisco: let's check out that new album! And the great remixes.

Uffie & Feadz, DJ Mehdi, SebastiAn: are these the first names of an Ed Banger - night @ Pukkelpop? Let's pray it is... Oh, and SebastiAn: PLEASE bring some new records!

Miss Kittin & The Hacker, Simian Mobile Disco: for the sake of good live dance music.

The Cribs: one of last years revelations, according to a collegue one of the best albums of last year, so I'm pretty curious.

Danko Jones: if you look up rock 'n roll in the dictionary, these guys' picture is next to it.

Metallica: two fingers in the air, three beers in the other hand and bashing out that last bit of energy you have left after three long days...

Looking forward to it :)

Bombtrack: The Subs - Papillon

We can't complain about good Belgian music, certainly not. One of those, our, precious diamants is The Subs. They've posted their brand new single 'Papillon' on their Netlog-profile, and oh my, it's a blast!  The single will be available as of end of June, and will contain remixes by Yuksek & Brodinski and Shinichi Osawa. 'Naked Jack' will be the second new track. Swellll, guys!!
