FRF '01 getting nearer

Getting excited about the Fuji Rock Festival now, actually - it's only just occurred to me that it's next weekend. Eeek. Last year was a blast; we skipped the Friday and just stayed for Saturday and Sunday, meaning we missed the torrential rain (yay) - and the Chemical Brothers (boo). I'm going for all three days this time, so let's hope we're that lucky with the weather again this year.

The line-up is looking good, very very good indeed. Orbital have been added since I checked last; that's obviously what the cryptic reference to a "well famous" British dance act was all about, then. I'll have to sit down with a print copy of the schedule, a highlighter and my pda at some point, to work out how it's all going to fit together.

I'm quite ambivalent about seeing Oasis; I think they're tossers, basically, but some of the stuff from either of their first two albums would go down well. Ditto Eminem; everything I've read in the media points towards his being an unprincipled racist homophobic imbecile, and I've only heard one of his tracks, I think, but I might as well have a quick peek to see if I can make up my own mind.

Acts I am excited about seeing, however:

• Asian Dub Foundation
• Coldcut
• Fumiya Tanaka
• New Order
• Orbital
• Rei Harakami
• Richie Hawtin
• Squarepusher
• Stereo MC's
• Tricky
• Two Lone Swordsmen
• Unkle
• Yoshinori Sunahara

• Alanis Morissette
• Ani DiFranco
• Brian Eno
• DJ Tsuyoshi
• Echo & The Bunnymen
• Hothouse Flowers
• Juno Reactor
• Kemuri
• Manic Street Preachers
• Mogwai
• Semisonic
• Stereophonics
• Travis
