Roskilde Festival program announced

• BAND OF HORSES: I’m whiny, syrupy and Southern, yet you like me.
• BATTLES: I’m made of robots!
• BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY: The only thing gayer and more irritating than my name is my voice, persona, music and stage presence.
• CAT POWER: I hate my fans for having patience.
• THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS: In spite of being repeatedly awesome, we have achieved a level of American irrelevance rivaled only by the Laserdisc.
• DAN DEACON: I am the musical equivalent of ironic facial hair.
• DIGITALISM: It’s still the late 1990s, right? I can still make Aaliyah sounds on the keyboard and set them to high-hats, right?
• DSL: I am the soundtrack to those iPodded French kids flailing on YouTube.
• EFTERKLANG: I am awesome and plinky, and it will be weird to see me perform in daylight.
• FANFARA TIRANA: The Balkans are too rough for any bass in our music. Horns and drums 4 life!
• JOSÉ GONZÁLEZ: I am The Voice That Launched a Thousand TV Advertisement Montages.
• GOLDFRAPP: I deliberately alienated by gay fans this year by releasing a non-glam album. I will be beaten to death with a high heel before I can perform this year.
• HOLY FUCK: People only like me so they can buy my T-shirts
• HOT CHIP: If you subtract the irony from my lyrics and the synthesizers from my music, I’m actually Elliott Smith.
• JAY-Z: The last three years of my career can be summed up by the fact that I rhymed ‘Charles Barkley’ with ‘Gnarls Barkley’ on my latest album.
• JOAN AS A POLICE WOMAN: Don’t tell anyone I’m American. 
• KINGS OF LEON: You thought I was cool until you found out I was Christian. Not in, like, a ‘Jesus is my homeboy’ way, either. I have, like, wafers with me right now. 
• LYKKE LI: I am the 1,083^rd Swedish chanteuse to become famous in Denmark.  
• MGMT: And on the eighth day, God made us instantly and inexplicably famous.
• M.I.A.: Not enough songs use gunshots as percussion.
• RADIOHEAD: No, we’re still not gonna play ‘Creep’.  
• THE RAVEONETTES: My dream gig is to play the Under the Sea Dance from ‘Back to the Future’
• THE STREETS: I am the reason that a popped collar has become the internationally recognized mating dance of the douchebaggia americanus.
• NEIL YOUNG: I was the embarrassing, undead keystone of a staccato, 70s Parallelogram of Suck called Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. People unfathomably tolerate both my music and my existence.
