I saw:
The Dirty Three - Really really good, noisy and loud and exciting. A real highlight for me, especially seen as I hadn't heard that much of their stuff before.
Nick Cave - He put on a really good show, but I enjoyed his first set more. Probably because I was lying on the floor in a stupor during his second set.
Grinderman - Big and powerful. I really enjoyed it but my friends thought it was a bit crap.
Low - I thought they should've been on the smaller stage, they were really good but just a bit quiet. All my friends thought it was awesome though.
Papa M - Probably the best set of the festival (surprisingly). The entire audience was silent, and it was very moving.
The Magnolia Electric Company - Pretty crap really. No offence meant.
A Silver Mount Zion - They were really good as always but I thought their set was a bit long. I didn't stay for the whole thing because I saw them play on Thursday as well.
Mick Harvey - Pretty good.... He's a bit of a rubbish front man though.
Cat Power - I'm not a massive fan, and I thought this was a bit of a shoddy set.
Spiritualised - Again I'm not a huge fan, but to be fair to the man, he did almost die, so I think it only fair that he played everything really stripped down. It was quite interesting but didn't really hold my attention.
Joanna Newsom - Much better than I was expecting.
Psaradonis - Greek goatherd and family play traditional Greek instruments. Really good, but a bit quiet, and hard to concentrate over an irreverent chatting audience.
Secretary - I only watched a couple of her songs, but I quite enjoyed it.
Digital Primitives - These were REALLY good, one of my favourites! after a set of playing unrecognisable instruments and swaying around like lunatics they all sang a song about being really happy. Very surreal.
Nina Nastasia - I was pretty monged out for this, but I thought it was quite nice, but not particularly surprising.

Sorry for the crappy review. You twisted my arm.

I did have a lovely time though, lots of barbeques and booze and drugs.
