Another year, another ATP. Number Seven for me (I worked it out) in fact. Yikes.

I love ATP, and last time really made me think its glory days were gone. Thankfully this wasn’t the case. It felt relaxed and the crowd was friendly. Strangely, there didn't seem to be many people around at times (although it was sold out) but all of these things made ( Read more... )

I'm so jealous! All those wonderful bands/artists! I'm especially curious about Melt Banana covering The Specials...and Mr Lif, god, I haven't listened to that for a long, long time. Will have to dig it out again.

I was listening to Wire t'other day and re-affirming how great they are.

Steve Albini! It's so awesome you had a big ole' chat with them :D

Glad you had a good time. I keep meaning to look up ATP and go, but I never manage/remember to. I hope your shoes dry out very soon!

I don't mean to make you jealous - I was just so excited! :) Here's a link to the cover they did - it's not the same gig, but the same song.

Wire kept to newer stuff and it was really ace. We got at least one song from Pink Flag, but they kept away from the more punky stuff. Steve Albini and Todd Trainer - I really have to thank my friend Katy for that. We got talking to Todd first and if it wasn't for her assertiveness (in a good way) it wouldn't have happened!

Ah, I didn't know you were going! I'll be interested to read what you thought of it all. I should be at Xmas ATP - let me know if you go!

completely agree about holy fuck and foals. i actually for a long long time have hated foals but recently they have won me over and the performance, i put him reservations aside and just got lost in it. and glad i did. holy fukc were just right time, right place. the free beer was a nice touch. band for me though was deerhunter. they can do no wrong for me. wire + th'faith healers were very nice surprises too. :D [dunno about mbv yet! but should be good...]

Foals really did surprise me. Like you I decided just to be open to it and see what happened. I'm in for MBV - just got a chalet organised today!
