who do you reckon it will be?
i think it will be aphex.. i'd selfishly rather not, cause i saw him already more than once.. my ideal name would be kraftwerk.

Yeah have you noticed who Blocs number 1 friend is?
All of my thoughts point to Aphex!

I take it you're refering to blocs myspace page???? I think those tuss pages have very little to do with whomever is behind The Tuss.
I very much doubt it'll be that cool anyhoot, my guess is 808 state.
Am I the meanest?
Am I the prettiest?
Am I the baddest mofo low down around this town?

Aphex would be fine in my book... only seen him once, almost 7 years ago, sure it'll be even better this time!

OK they've gotta be big - so big that they'd probably sell out as soon it was announced, so I reckon they won't say until it is all sold out, and so i reckon it will have to be someone who will appeal to all at the gig. Might be a long shot, but if it's KRAFTWERK then I will do a sex wee in my pants right now!

I hope it is Aphex Twin so I can enjoy more of the sweet Tuss edits that he teased me with at the Warehouse Project in Manchester.
On a semi-related note I also found out today that 1 of the 3 gurners that were onstage with AFX is the current gurning world champion.

I'm not bothered if its Aphex (long past his prime IMHO) but I agree with one of the previous posters - let it sell out anyway and then announce who it is, if it is to be a big name. That way the people who supported the Bloc anyway get a nice treat.

i hope it is a big name.. though to be honest and fair to the bloc people, even if they pick my local old shitty organ player it will still be great, seeing the rest of the brilliant line up.

For what its worth I may as well throw my top TBA headliner too - Seefeel.
Never happen though. Shame.
Seeing Red Snapper play live again will be great though, caught them twice before, in the Olympia in Dublin and at the Essential Festival in Finsbury Park in 1997, both excellent gigs... glad to hear they have reformed for this weekend.
