― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Thursday, 22 June 2006 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going! Woo! The idea that I'm going to see Iggy Pop at Butlins is cheering me up on miserable days.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

Oh my, the Dead C indeed!

― NickB (NickB), Thursday, 22 June 2006 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

I am excited about the Dead C too, I must say.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 22 June 2006 15:28 (nineteen years ago)

I may end up at this. :-)

― How does a ferret get invisible, then? (kate), Thursday, 22 June 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

You should PLAY at this!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I'll just have my sisX0r ask her buddy Thurston... :-P

(As it is, I'm going to have to be smuggled in in her baggage.)

― How does a ferret get invisible, then? (kate), Thursday, 22 June 2006 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

It just occurred to me that the only "rawk" music covered by The Wire apparently must first be SY-approved.

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Thursday, 22 June 2006 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

drool, i hope i can do this. somebody give me some cash

― rizzx (Rizz), Thursday, 22 June 2006 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

When will ATP branch out of their circle jerk

― Persecuted Decals (ex machina), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:06 (nineteen years ago)

no shit

― ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ (chaki), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

AT LEAST NEGATIVE APPROACH IS PLAYIN'

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:25 (nineteen years ago)

surely atp is a circle jerk by definition?

i'm going to this. that whole wanting to see virtually everyone and there being three stages thing will surely make me kill myself.

― Merdeyeux Merdeyeux Merdeyeux (Merdeyeux Merdeyeux Merdeyeux), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:00 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, this is in the UK? When is it? NEGATIVE APPROACH!!!!!!!!!!! Shit I might be in the US when this is on, I'm going to be in LA for Xmas.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:14 (nineteen years ago)

It's 8-10 December, and yes, it's in the UK at Butlins Minehead.

I'm going! YAY!

― Andie B (andie b), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:19 (nineteen years ago)

No "Boredoms"/Sleater-Kinney, no credibility.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:46 (nineteen years ago)

i think that line up is fairly dull actually. they should get barry esson to programme it, he has less limited taste than thurston moore.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

btw dudes y'all should get the negative approach dvd.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

Selling out fast, I do believe (ATP, that is, I have no idea about the Negative Approach DVD). I'm not as enthused about the overall line-up as I could be, but, y'know, I could think of worse ways to spend a weekend :-)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

Why even bother complaining? There's barely even a crappy band on the bill.

― strom (strom), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, why bother having an opinion! Everything's great! I love everything!

Barely a crappy band, yeah, but lots of good does not always equal awesome.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

My Cat Is An Alien were utter crap when i saw them. i didn't think this would be your type of thing at all ailsa.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

Stop judging Belle and Sebastian fans by your pre-conceptions!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:48 (nineteen years ago)

Has Bardo Pond played every ATP? Deerhoof?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

bardo pond is on the atp label, shasta.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:37 (nineteen years ago)

They must be the house band.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

I heard a rumor that the reason the Killers will not be appearing is because it was determined by the big-ups that they were "not artistic enough."

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 22 June 2006 22:00 (nineteen years ago)

I heard a rumor that the reason the Killers will not be appearing is because it was determined by the big-ups that they were "not artistic enough."

read some anecdote about how Thurston was "bummed out" after hearing The Rapture. remembering that anecdote made me smile double wide when i found the "house of jealous lovers" single in his dollar bin during the wfmu record fair.

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Thursday, 22 June 2006 22:59 (nineteen years ago)

Has Bardo Pond played every ATP? Deerhoof?

They played the first one I went to six years ago and none in the UK since. Deerhoof have done one or two before.

I don't actively hate anyone on this bill and like a whole lot of it. I think I have tickets purchased for me already

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 22 June 2006 23:00 (nineteen years ago)

weird there's no be your own pet on this

― brokenfuses (brokenfuses), Friday, 23 June 2006 02:11 (nineteen years ago)

― electro-acoustic lycanthrope (orion), Friday, 23 June 2006 03:43 (nineteen years ago)

Bardo Pond, Jackie O-Motherfucker, Charalambides, Alexander Tucker and Deerhoof have all had recs released on the ATP label

the Skaters were awesomely awesome when I saw them at Subcurrent earlier this year

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Friday, 23 June 2006 05:55 (nineteen years ago)

DKT MC5 FEATURING MARK ARM

- I'm not embarrassed to admit that I truly love Mark Arm with every bone in my head. That could actually be pretty entertaining (um, what's, um, DKT mean though, um?)

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 23 June 2006 08:54 (nineteen years ago)

DKT = (Michael)Davis (Wayne)Kramer (Dennis)Thompson = "MC3"

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Friday, 23 June 2006 09:10 (nineteen years ago)

Oh of course, yeah. Surprisingly light on thee free jazz this line-up eh? Has Thurston gone off the free jazz boil? Not that I'm going anyway, but it'd be great to see stuff like Daniel Carter on that bill.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 23 June 2006 09:34 (nineteen years ago)

NEGATIVE APPROACH!

whoa THERE'S A DVD OUT?

― latebloomer aka rap's yoko ono (latebloomer), Friday, 23 June 2006 09:39 (nineteen years ago)

it's great, alex. get it! it's called "FAIR WARNING" and is like, three live shows. + Brannon doing a jam with the Misfits!!

― the eunuchs, Cassim and Mustafa, who guarded Abdur Ali's harem (orion), Friday, 23 June 2006 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

just added - nurse with wound!

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Monday, 3 July 2006 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

Amazing! Now the lineup kicks so much ass it's ridonkulous.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Monday, 3 July 2006 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

pity it's on the same weekend as the transmusicales in france, which is always a sure date too...

― joan vich (joan vich), Monday, 3 July 2006 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

!! is that the first uk nww gig, like, ever?

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 3 July 2006 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

incredible, i'm glad my chalet is booked!

― rizzx (Rizz), Monday, 3 July 2006 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

toby, nww played a few Brit gigs right at the start of their career but it must be at least 20 years since stapleton has appeared under that name in the UK

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Monday, 3 July 2006 20:40 (nineteen years ago)

last time i saw the dead c i tried to convince mike morley to reunite wreck small speakers

― chris andrews (fraew), Monday, 3 July 2006 20:44 (nineteen years ago)

"Barely a crappy band, yeah, but lots of good does not always equal awesome."

Lots of good + chalet parties + all-night escapades + rainy, desolate december beaches = awesome.

And anyway, Richard Youngs = awesome x brilliant x ace.

― braveclub (braveclub), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

Lots of good + chalet parties + all-night escapades + rainy, desolate december beaches = awesome.

Which is why I'm going! I said I wasn't as enthused with the line-up as I could have been, but I'm still looking forward to it.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

Skipping 96 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

Tickets allegedly posted yesterday.

There's some bizarro thing going on with the bands though - although Sonic Youth and the Stooges are playing twice each you only get to see one and the colour of band you have dictates when. STOP FUCKING WITH A FORMAT THAT WORKS.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Monday, 23 October 2006 10:51 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure it does work. several times at ATP people have been prevented from seeing bands due to overcrowding. the last time shellac curated, they played twice but we missed out both times. enabling everyone to see the bigger bands at least once has got to be a good thing.

― mister the guanoman (mister the guanoman), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:03 (nineteen years ago)

Were they really turning people away from Shellac upstairs last time? In which case I take it back. I knew there had sometimes been problems with bands big enough to play upstairs playing downstairs (Shellac the year they curated on their own, the Fall that year too), but I'd never heard of it associated with upstairs.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:21 (nineteen years ago)

come to think of it, it may just have been downstairs. maybe I missed the second shellac set for other reasons. memory fails me.

but it's at a new venue this year...maybe it's not so big or they've sold more tickets, or both.

― mister the guanoman (mister the guanoman), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:36 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's the latter - they've split watching SY/Stooges into two 3000 strong sessions. How many people used to be at Camber?

The bigger concern is that this could make some of the other bands (Dinosaur, maybe?) harder to get into. And make the D3ATP unpleasant at times.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

i got my tix last week. huzzah.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

Is it "Sonic Youth on one stage/Stooges on the other" both times so no-one misses anything else due to having the wrong wristband?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

I believe so. Anyway, despite what Foundation say, Stargreen have not sent out any tickets yet.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 22:11 (nineteen years ago)

BUMP!

Still have 2 spare tickets going in a 4-bed chalet (did have a couple of potential buyers but that's fallen through). Anyone interested?

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Monday, 6 November 2006 11:15 (nineteen years ago)

WHY YOU BRAEK WALLET ALL TIME.

I guess I'm going to have to go search other music boards for people. I would just put the tix on Ebay but scared if I do ATP will void them as the tickets have some kind of DO NOT AUCTION OR ELSE message on them.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

i have a free pass but could use a place to crash still.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

Have you tried mentioning it on ILE, as you may find festival-going types over there who don't read ILM?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 00:13 (nineteen years ago)

I still need/want a ticket! I tried mailing using the ILX mail feature thing, but I guess that didn't work. I'll try direct....

― paizuri-san (davidcorp), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 10:37 (nineteen years ago)

THIS IS EXCITING 4 FAPPAGE

― teh_kit returns! (g-kit), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

I just got a press pass.

Any ILXORS wanna party down with me?

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe. Do you like me?

― teh_kit returns! (g-kit), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 13:30 (nineteen years ago)

Possibly. If you and your press pass aren't too cool and cliquey for the plebs who had to buy tickets (see tosser upthread for reference).

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

I only got a press pass because I was too uncool to book tickets in due time like a normal man.

I like all ilxors!

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

Saturday lunchtime FAP agane? Since I knows nothing about the site or area, shalls we make it somewhere on site?

(Potential decision making info: Manchester derby, but Andrew doesn't like pubs with football IIRC)

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 13:42 (nineteen years ago)

Great! Anytimes, anywheres.

― teh_kit returns! (g-kit), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone know if I am likely to find anywhere with Setanta Sports to watch the Celtic game on the Sunday (unlikely, I guess)?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

Gerry watched the Celtic game with Mogwai instead of seeing Shellac one year, but that was at Camber. There's still a chance though, probably, as it doesn't clash with an FA Prem game (Chelsea/Arsenal at 4).

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

Yowza. Sunday afternoon = no bands for me!

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 13:59 (nineteen years ago)

Butlins and Pontins tend to be pretty good for sports channels, by the nature of their typical clientele I guess

― Feargal Hixxy (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but I'm wondering about the likelihood of sports channels being on by the nature of their temporary clientele.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

From the ATP website (usually full of shite, but this reads like a Butlins blurb so I'm tempted to believe it):

HotShots - Accessed from the Skyline, Full sports Bar with Big Screens for sport, pool, snooker, the latest video games, (extra charge) Darts and home of the 10 pin Bowling.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

No air hockey? :(

― Feargal Hixxy (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

There's bound to be, it's not a holiday camp without it.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

the latest video games

YAY

― teh_kit returns! (g-kit), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

Good, something for Neil to do while I'm watching the football. Fuck watching bands :-)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

i am totally down for fappage and lunch and whatever it is you britishes do! so excited.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

colonel, when do you need to know by? I may be interested.

e-mail me about it, eh, at the address I have here, we can talk.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

I am back on for this, unless the Colonel has managed to sell both tickets in a flash.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 9 November 2006 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

fuck bands! fuck watching sport! i'll see you in he pool (wave machine, 3 flumes and space bowl)

― FACEBRACE (FACEBRACE), Thursday, 9 November 2006 13:55 (nineteen years ago)

hey - Fursaxa is playing as a trio with Miriam and myself (Black Forest/Black Sea) as her live band. looking forward...

― jeffrey / secret eye (jeffrey secret eye), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 07:19 (nineteen years ago)

psyched to witness that, which day are you playing?

― rizzx (Rizz), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

yeah let us know so we don't miss it!

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

i saw something about people having to choose either friday/sunday or saturday/sunday. i'll be really pissed if i have to miss the new blockaders/the haters in favor of the dead c.!

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

they probably figure people will head back to london sunday, is my bet.

I'm hoping that's not in order of play, just in case there's any delays getting in on Friday - if I miss Melvins, Dead C and Flipper I'll be gutted!

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

That's only for the Stooges, you get to see them on Friday or on Saturday/Sunday.

Uh, MC5?

Krist Novoselic is playing bass for Flipper, that'll be quite funny. Flipper'll probably be quite funny full stop

― Feargal Hixxy (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 16 November 2006 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

So late in the day, but certain plans have fallen through, and now I desperately need to buy a ticket for this shindig. If anyone can help me out, give me an email. Please.
