matt groening to curate atp?

As i recall (I delelted the emails) Matt was writing a music column for some LA paper back in the 80s. He is a fan of Beefheart (a doc on BBC2 had some excellent stuff from him on the recs, his reaction to playing trout mask for the first time kinda mirrowed mine), Residents, Zappa, all sorts apparently (though he sold a lot of it, as someone was saying, and was just listening to Dub reggae! but again, its 12 am and my brain is tired).

But yeah, he is the first non-musician to curate it but I haven't heard of any acts yet.

But i understand he is prolific so taht might have been a bad rec.

St you're both wrong and only I am right.

''If you stopped listening to that Beatles fucking shit perhaps you would understand.''

Sean did indeed play me some bits of 'Revolver' when I went to his place for a 'listening session'. It's all right but all of the Beatles is all right. I must conclude that likeing the Beatles tells you more abt your age than anything else.

haha mark s is an old bugger.

Some day I could see myself listening to nothing but dub (real reggae- based dub, not electronica dub).

Mark S, based on the "Lemon Fish Tweezer" collection, I think Henry Kaiser is quite good. Unjustly neglected, and so forth. I have heard some bad things by him, however, including some kind of Grateful Dead cover album.

A reference to dexy's and the midnight runners on the B-sharps episode as well.

That's the record of his i heard deraymi. I never thought it held very well.

he's back to curate one in the UK next may, first lineup additions:

Boredoms performing BOADRUM – 9 drummer show
The Raincoats
Toumani Diabate
Danielson
James Blackshaw
Anni Rossi
Viv Albertine's Limerence

was waiting to see a little lineup before deciding on whether I'd go, and now having seen that I say 'o shiiiiiii'. Now whar's me money.

that looks pretty dope. super let down by the first additions to the pavement atp tho. the line up doesn't have to be the sum of yr influences dudes.

this looks pretty interesting

Not that I'm going as it stands but Endless Boogie playing the Pavement thing counts for a lot in terms of my goodwill
