explosions in the sky curate ATP

?
by Jamie_Summers
hmm
interesting.
holy fuck!
link to more info?
i'm repeating what
someone said on the festie forum...
It's the weekend after the Camber one
the link's already in See Tickets.
FUCK
why can't it be about 3 weeks after the Camber one :(
That line up looks amazing already, too.
Wow.
Is this the later one?
if you lie
i rape you
Damn!
You beat me to it summers...
he always will!!
Andy Rocket will be SO pissed off...
I've already got my ticket for the Camber one.
i'm getting camber tickets
when i get paid, fo sho.
Anyone wanna buy a Camber ticket?
:D
the camber lineup
is more appealing to me, only because all the bands on the explosions one that i like tour quite often and i've seen.
not that i won't go of course, but i hope they have some more adventurous bands lined up.
Yes?
ooh
definitely gonna go to this one then.
Minehead again, though
:(
it's better than Camber
you bellend.
minehead pwns
Only because you live round the corner
:D
'zackly
:D
I disagree
The chalets are fucking amazing. The facilities are fucking amazing.
But, the journey's more expensive and more annoying and in terms of getting to see bands, it's just not as good.
I will suffer a crapper chalet experience for a better musical one.
the only problem, musically at Minehead
is the fact that there's three stages, you end up missing some bands. You still get to see as much music, if not more as you do at Camber. Also, the main stage isn't great at Minehead but it means you get bigger bands playing and it's not that bad.
Dunno. I just didn't find it as good
The whole queuing thing for bands in the upstairs room was rubbish. I like how at Camber you just went upstairs or downstairs and most times you didn't even have to miss anyone.
i never queued once.
me either
there was only
problems with queuing last year though.
I saw long queues for Joanna Newsome at the Dirty Three one
and for another band. I know that a friend didn't see Battles because of it.
Yeah, if you go really early for the upstairs room then you'll be fine. I'm just saying it can and did happen this year. The upstairs room cannot hold everyone but that can't happen at Camber hence I preferred Camber.
those are isolated examples
and really just bad booking choices rather than widespread problems a la nightmare before christmas.
interestingly in newsom's case i seem to remember there being capacity issues when she played at the 2nd United States of ATP one last year cause again she was playing in the smaller room. which makes me wonder if she asks to play the smaller rooms...
Hmm. I thought the issue was that she turned all the aircon off or something
I remember coming down and finding the people coming out of the door but they were still able to see some. I don't remember people who wanted to see her being totally shut out.
I guess the downstairs room at Camber doesn't seem to have only half the site's capacity like the Minehead room does
I've had to queue at Camber in the past
and seen plenty of people miss bands in the downstairs room. Plus the upstairs stank of hotdogs and the carpet was sticky. Shithole.
but I'll probably go to the Camber one this year
but EITS are so fucking dull.
I only remember queues for Lightning Bolt
because of where they played and how it changed the room.
I remember the downstairs room getting very very rammed but you could still catch some of the stuff at the edges.
I remember queuing for The Fall (i think)
outside, in the freezing cold. You can squeeze down the sides but you can't actually see anything.
the second
stage at Camber is fucking useless though.
they only had 3 stages
at the first minehead ATP. they had two at the ones this past year.
what are you on about?
I agree with Tom, what are you on about
There were three at both this year:
Main Room
Upstairs Room
Reds
Only the main room could take the entire festival capacity.
hey
you're totally right. i completely forgot about reds :(
It's okay, sounds like I'm wrong about queuing not happening at Camber too
It never seemed to be as much though. :(
depends
if shellac or lightning bolt are playing!
ohh nooo!!!
how dull.
'xaactly
will probably get better but it inspires nothing but yawns from me.
big names!!
i actually know them all!!! what's with that?
you're uberhip.
natch!!
cos
ATP has totally sold liek woah d00d.
shyt it totes has
i'm blates never going ever agian now an ting
shit band
good taste
i guess it should have been obvs after they cancelled before
Tickets. When. Where.
Need to go to this. Need to secure tickets NOW.
They're not on See until tomorrow apparently
and there's no way this will sell out.
Just check WeGotTickets until they come up on there.
I wouldn't worry
I predict this one might sell quite slowly.
Not if I buy all the tickets
and have the biggest party of my life...
(pretends the wedding doesn't exist for a mo*
beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Is that the sound of ATP flatlining?
I'm going to add my voice to the chorus of people hoping there are a few more left-field* choices announced soon.
*Obviously this is relative, in case any pendant points out that none of these are TOTP material.
my opinioney
explosions in the sky: meh
Broken Social Scene: meh
Iron and Wine: new album is ace, so could be great live
Dinosaur Jr: ace every time.
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead: not 5% of the band they used to be
Adem: meh
i'm sure it'll get better tho
still, 6 more bands announced for camber tomorrow :D
broken social scene
are amazing live. will it actually be them though?
doubt it
it's PROBABLY them doing brendan canning's solo album, which is out early next year.
i heart bss
but at the last atp they played at, my mate said they were meh as they had such a scaled down band so the sound wasn't as great/immense as when you have 12 million guitars etc.
at camber last year
they had between 8 and 11 people on stage at all times.
Is that including J. Mascis?
:D
someone lied to me!
heck I'd still see em anyway.
Yes
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
IS THIS TRUE?
OMFG
Whoa
Is this for the Minehead one?
I need to go to this.
Sprays man yog
everywhere.
HYPERDULL
ONE SIXTH OF THE LINEUP
ON SHIT-TH OF THE LINEUP
why all the negativity
all those bands are good, dinosaur jr just get better each time I see them (loads better than footage ive seen back in the day) BSS always good, trail of dead a bit past it but heard recent tours have been great, Iron and Wine ok maybe a bit dull but lots of people think hes special, and explosions in the sky are probaby the best out of the melodic generic post rock bunch
solid
but nothing out of the ordinary
i'd like to go to both, but will need to find willing roomies
there s no mention of this
on the explosions website.maybe its been removed or didn't exist in the first place
hi!
buenos estente
good stuff
swish
i have a non-DiS friend who will likely want in on one as well.
brill
jo is out (finals) so i'll be a lone wolf
wow
that's sure to be a steaming pile. at least i'll save some more money for barcelona and primavera.
does this announcement mean
everyone is going to buy their tickets for the pitchfork one?
i can't be doing with it selling out in the next week or so. i need to find some friends.
seriously, explosions in the sky? come on.
I'll be there - 100%
not sure about the pitchfork one though yet.. but i haven't missed an ATP for 5 years now so will see....
i prefer the old site too... not as nice, but i still prefer it...
SO THERE.
Dino Jr, Trail of Dead and fucking EITS.
Sorry, that wasn't the 'cool' reaction was it.
opinions dear, opinions.
also
i have a stomach ache.
my usual excitement levels are malfunctioning.
Makes sense
With the cancelling and we'll make it up etc.
Best not be a wind up as confirmation of this will make my day tomorrow.
to be fair
there does seem to be a substantial opinion that ATP is some kind of noise / super avant garde thing, when it isn't really and never really has been.
EITS??
Just don't get it... They just seem so functional and so predictable to me. Post-rock by numbers. And surely they're not that well-connected? The Dirty 3 aren't famous but between them have collaborated with so many artists. Who would EITS have in the contacts book. Hoping it's not true.
up until about two years ago
it was always a lot more left-of-centre than this though.
which i think is the point everyone's been making.
really?
i'm not so sure i agree.

also
"than this"?
again, i point you everyone towards this: http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/2504386#r2505104
oh god
I nearly freaked out then, seeing Bonnie Prince Billy on the line-up for 2002, and trying to work out why I didn't see him. But he dropped out, didn't he? DIDN'T HE?!
He only played one of the weekends
It was the same lineup but the first one (which I went to) gave you Smog and GYBE and the second one had Melt Banana and BPB.
oh yes
I remember now. GYBE were bloody great, Smog not so much. Even though I still love him.
my penis just went limp
i'm
glad there is so much bitterness over EITS. Nothing like a good bit of tension.
In my opinion, they are one of the best ever bands. Even better than the Beatles. So there.
If you don't like them - don't go. But at the end of the day, there are plenty of other bands playing. so stop grumbling!
If it was Sigur Ros curating, having picked Dinosaur JR, BSS and Adem - everyone would be wetting themselves.
I hope mahogany play.
"If it was Sigur Ros curating"
????!?!?!?!?!?!?
what??!?!?!?!?!?
how does that work????"?!??!?!?!?"!$*"Uiuhrkh
that would be even worse!!!!
exactly
and these bands play ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
i'm not going to spend £120 + travel to see the bands i would want to see, when i could see them playing 15 minutes down the road when they next tour.
also, ADEM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
get his smug, over-earnest face away. FROM EVERYTHING.
