New confirmations:
POLVO CONFIRM !! PLUS ANIMAL COLLECTIVE AND MORE...
Fantastic news – we are very excited to announce that Polvo will be playing their first gig together in over 10 years at the Explosions in the Sky curated ATP.
In addition to this we have more excellent choices from Explosions to announce.
The following artists are also joining the bill :
Polvo
Animal Collective
A hawk and a hacksaw
Eluvium
Ola podrida
Lazarus
aha!
fuck you eits atp haters.
lol
what a suprise
fishplums - you fickle cunt
haha
i am definitely going to make it to this.
if its the last thing i do!
this just got interesting.
i await smarmy replies with a certain glee.
come on
you know i'm not a smary person ;)
ONE SIXTH OF THE LINE UP!!!!
Hloy shit
this pisses on Pitchfork now
i wouldn't say that.
it's certainly less bland than before, though!
good shit
I was leaning to the P4k one before, but
this is now looking better. And the chalets aren't as cold as the ones at Camber...
Still not a patch on Pitchfork
but at least marginally more interesting than before.
i have to go now
if only for Polvo, who are like....AMAZING.

Festival
in getting better when more bands announced shocker.
Anyone feeling silly for the recent mega-miffle?
no
i'm only excited about Polvo.
Sorry
didnt mean you specifically.
do you want a fight?
Nope
I still think that EITS aren't worthy of curating, and i'm yet to be convinced of the line-up. As i've always said, i hope i'm proved wrong.
and more...
BREAKING NEWS - FOUR TET CONFIRM!
Just confirmed within the last 30 minutes we can reveal that Four Tet will be playing at Explosions ATP.
In addition The Paper Chase have also just been confirmed!!
Not suprising really
seeing as they've supported him on tour and he's remixed them. Still, he's hardly the most thrilling live act...
"He's hardly the most thrilling live act"
You don't stand and watch Four Tet though do you. You dance like a motherfucker.
Dance motherfucker dance!
Four Tet
Electronica for people who don't like electronica.
Stuck
in your Cornish roots eh?
Yep
When we start school we're all given a copy of Selected Ambient Works in a natty Rephlex Records satchel. Proper fucking job.
correct
polvo should be currating!
small yay
Gigantic are selling tickets so it's cheaper than See and you also get your nice paper ticket (for those who like keeping tickets.) Those who don't go to we got tix. Roll on pay day :)
You
get a proper ticket with WeGotTickets at ATP anyway. I'm sad enough to care about these kind of things.
oh you do?
awesome, I'm sad enough to think care these things too. My friend was really disappointed cause he didn't think you did. Especially when he worked out that he saved 2 odd quid with WGT.
:D
What about the other bands?
Just listening to the Paper Chase. They sound pretty good, in a disturbing kind of way.
Also been checking out Eluvium. Listen to the tracks on his myspace, they're all really lush/beautiful ambient pieces. I like.
GHOSTFACE KILLAH CONFIRMS!
they are really going for it now - Ghostface Killah has confirmed now - i am so going to this.
mm some nice
homophobic gangster rap, hooray.
boo hoo
dont cry
Ghostface
has suddenly made me really want to go to EITS' one. Me and my bro are gonna wait for the next round of confirmations to decide which one we're gonna go to.
Also 'homophobic gangster rap' is actually fucking great. Have you heard Fishscale? HAVE YOU?
Ghostface at ATP?
Could potentially rival seeing Public Enemy playing air hockey at Camber as my most surreal experience. I mean can you really see this man living it up at Butlins?
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/47010-polvo-reunite-for-all-tomorrows-parties/page_2
Surely a late contender for album cover of the year?
I'm still undecided too
Neither weekend is really convincing me which is unusual for ATP. Is this the price of over-saturation i.e. having it 3 times a year?
sorry
i must be mega uncool to not get whats fucking great about someone who basically uses the word faggot as often as buju banton.
(not to mention
the constant sexism)
Yeah
but have you actually listened to Ghostface? He doesn't really use the word 'faggot' at all, and is not constantly sexist. There are moments of his that are unexpectedly sweet, such as Beauty Jackson off of Fishscale.
i have actually, but here's
a quick google:
It's on, nigga, faggots, better check out their accountants
When I hung around broke niggaz and broke bitches
Faggot ass niggaz, when I ride get the f**k out the way
These young boys comin' at me (yeah)
Lookin' at these faggots
Uppercut, bad, you in the grass slumped out and ya faggot-ass man hauled ass
Punk faggot niggaz stealin my light
Yeah, keep the faggot niggas watery
you just like them bitches, faggot ass niggaz
Faggot ass homeys done got you worked up
Butt naked, faggot ass dred, in a back room
Approached him, through out the toast, snatched the jewel notes
Asked him where's his African man, before his brain throws
Against the wall
Son, I've never been a punk faggot ass idiot
Groundhog Day, ya'll bitch niggas got sweet hands, word
I know why, why? Ya'll all gay, pop off head
Get your top rocked
and lets also have a blast of 'Greedy Bitches':
Fucking with you, yo I hope you ain't cock blocking
I want some pussy now, if not, you can get to hopping
'You better split if the legs don't spread like wings'
now that
is how you win an arguement
I'm gay
and really really want to see him.
Meh.
hey hey hey you are cool
faggots in tomat or gravy sauce
and hey hey
bujo did send a sorry note to every gay person in the world, when he found looking at shaggies bum mildly erotic
sing
campbell's faggots are a stomache filler,
any one can ask the Ghostface Killah
have you seen that advert
thats just silly
I dont defend the killah rapper, but that kinda talk is justa colloquialisms, its a liberal freedom a speech episode out of your P.C box mother, now you take that up with the man. I will meet you in the main stage, we can have a rap off,,,?
Anyone
have any idea when tickets will sell out by? I want the parents to help fund one for my Christmas present but is that too long to wait?
Reckon you have
plenty o'time. I dont think v the fans sold out, or if it did very late in the day, and this has less notable names so far.
genius^
campbell's faggots are a stomache filler,
any one can ask the Ghostface Killah
what about
Mr Brains faggots?
*shrugs*
Fellow Austin, Texas band Western Keys have just been added to the Explosions ATP bill...
no shrugging
they are beautiful
Ohhh I want to go to this
LOTS.
Come!!
i've had TWO offers,
cool huh?
MAYBE IF I HAD MONEY IT WOULD BE.
MBV?
Since the EITS ATP was announced people here have been speculating about a legendary band (ie bigger than Polvo) reforming to the response of 'MBV will never get back together'. What do you reckon now, especially since ATP are promoting it?
welll
Kevin Shields was at a EITS gig at the Barfly with Sofia Coppola a while back ....
Def playing
I'll be amazed if they dont.
GET A JOB
IT MIGHT BE HAPPENING!
ATP, not a job.
I mean, ME going to ATP
yes.
You'd better do!
Then again, I don't actually have the money at the moment, but I will, and soon too.
Yeah, i have no money at all.
I might ask for a ticket for christmas.
But I want a camera for christmas. GAH.
DALKIIIIN, will they sell out soon? When should I get one by?
I actually don't know
Jamie Summers is the person to ask.
But you know, sooner is always better.
HI!
as far as i remember neither the versus the fans or the dirty three ones sold out until after xmas last year.
however i think a lot of people will start buying after the xmas one has gone past.
and as, due to the camber effect, there are 25% less tickets available for next mays atps than there were for this years, that may also have an effect.
do you want me to do some graphs?
I always appreciate a graph
That's what happens from doing
Maths and Further Maths for 2 years.
well its no wonder
you want to go to ATP then, there's tons of MATH ROCK!!
*kills self*
lol?
Summer
It'll be a good summer, a good atp, I'm sure of it, also with MBV reforming.. Surely they will be curators for a future ATP.
They are playing this one
If they dont I will eat my swingers.
whole?
and raw?
Raw
But with horseradish.
wise decision
I don't know
if I can afford this,
Any ideas on capacity size?
10,000 isnt it?
oops checked
its 6000.
NEW BANDS JUST IN
include Silver Jews, Mono, Jens Lekman plus 2 others i have never heard of but Silver Jews is a first for atp.
also the pitchfork one has marissa nadler, redd kross, jens lekman (again) and A place to bury strangers
FUCK MY FACE
(sorry)
no you're ok
but thanks for thinking of me
yes yes yes
got tickets yesterday!
FANNYFLAPS!
Fucking hell
Alot of people wont be getting Christmas presents from me this year.
Silver Jews you say?
The awesome.
Sorry, I mean -
ooops
Sorry I mean - TOTALLY WORST LINE UP EVER EVER !!!!!
THEY HAVE SO LOST IT.
Mono
.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Yay, I love The Drift
I thought Silver Jews didn't play live or am I thinking of someone else of that ilk?
you must be thinking of someone else
I saw Silver Jews last year. Class.
before that though they
didnt tour
that's not strictly true
as they announced it was something like their 23rd show.
Not exactly extensive touring but touring nonetheless.
Silver Jews were
fantastic at Roskilde 06
i've just realised
the most perfect person to play EITS ATP
(SUBTLE HINT, BARRY...)
is Chad Vangaalen.
Make it happen.
Thank you.
Who?
