Probably speaking too soon here, but...

In a shocking first for us, all thing Barely Regal seem to be running to schedule. If this worrying trend continues it looks like we’re actually going to be fully prepared in plenty of time for Swn. Flyers are ordered, emails have been sent, caffeine products bulk bought, and soon we’ll be able to start putting together the compilations we’re giving away free at our stage. Plenty of time left for some cutting and sticking sessions to get those ready before Thursday (hello RSI, how we’ve missed you!). I’m sure we’ll be eating our words come Wednesday when inevitably several things that we’ve forgotten about rear their ugly heads, but until then we can rest happily in blissful ignorance than things are going to plan. Best part is, now we’ve got a spare minute we can actually sort out who we’re going to see on Friday and Saturday, Some tough decisions will have to be made, on Saturday especially as there as so many good bands playing that evening. Perfume Genius is a dead cert, I think we'll cry if we miss out on this: Beyond that who knows...plenty of good guides about to help us decide (including an excellent overview by Jake May on his blog, Basement Fever, and a PDF guide by Journal of Plastik), so we’ll spend the next couple of days pouring over those, and coming up with a route plan we can pretend will be executed with military precision (when in reality it’ll go out the window as soon as we’ve had our first pint). Continuing with our newfound productivity (and obsession with Swn festival) we'll be starting our series of blog posts about the bands playing our stage tomorrow, bit of info each day and an exclusive track from each band...
