I live in this shitty ass country called the United States.
I wish I could see this festival.

Hey chabib, you can unblock my sig pic now. As you can hopefully see, I've changed it.

I can't really understand it either. I don't necessarily dislike them, but I don't find them particularly innovative. I think they're rather monotonous, to be honest. Yeah, we get that you can play the guitar, but it's not meant for aural hypnosis.

Anyhow, how far is this place from Ireland, say, Galway? I'm crap at geography.

between subcurrent and noise ATP we're gonna be pretty spoiled in the UK this year... not to mention gigs from Magik Markers, Wolf Eyes, Lightning Bolt...

I get the impression that ATP will be toned down to some degree. Maybe I'm wrong but I doubt we'll be seeing the likes of Macronymphia, Skaters or Borbetomagus. I sort of hope I'm wrong though.....Borbetomagus would be sweet.

I imgaine it's going to be one of those fests that's sold out before most of the line-up is announced though.

if it's not toned down, it'll renew my faith in the way the festival's presented. the UCLA ATP was pretty incredible as far as lineups go. if barry agrees to allow thurston to come up with something along the lines of that, they should make something pretty fantastic--particularly if thurston pulls jazz, poetry, noise and rock together as i reckon he may.

Well, that's good to hear. It's nice to know that there's hope for a varied and interesting fest.

I just hope there is at least a partial line up announced before tickets go on sale but I doubt it seeing as that date is so near. I understand that you can't always have the full lineup in place before tickets go on sale but it seems like it's standard practice to sell a festival on the basis of the name of the festival alone rather than whose actually playing. I guess ATP is slightly different due to the fact that you can take a fair guess at the lineup from the curators.

when you consider thurston's taste in music and stuff like his top10 records of 2005 i'm sure there'll be a lot of radical esoteric underground shit going on... but it will probably sell out on account of SY/Stooges...

the problem however, is to overcome the tendency of returning curators to develop an incestuously familiar lineup... when ATP has a relatively predictable roster of returning acts, it loses something. the beauty in it is when performers are either of pulled out of nowhere or infamy and placed into the festival. the only brand names it needs to sell the fest are sonic youth and the stooges and both of them are already multiple-time returnees. everything else can be completely fresh to ATP and the lineup would be great. if bands like wolf eyes, lightning bolt, magik markers, dino, merzbow and double leopards aren't on the lineup, it would be really impressive. it's hard for me to say that since a bunch of them are friends of mine, but i think that they'd know what i mean. besides... most of those bands have other projects that are just as interesting as their primary ones.
