Producer WillProducer Will|17:07 UK time, Friday, 15 April 2011

The sun may have disappeared this week, but the summer vibes are high at 6Music and clearly with you. We asked you for the tracks you are looking forward to most at Glastonbury this June and you came back at us in your droves!

From Paul Simon to The Wombles you came at us from all angles and we think fairly accurately surmised what the festival is going to be like before it takes a year off for the Olympics.

We also looked at the best indie records, with Aphex Twin'sWindowlicker going down a storm in particular on Twitter, while we also gathered #nowplaying suggestions from as far afield as North America and Japan.

The Recommender and Oh Deary Me blogs joined us and shared with us what is currently making them tick - all in all it was a pretty ram-jammed show!!
