ATP Versus the Fans

At last, the tickets have been purchased. Butlins holiday camp in Minehead, Somerset beckons for me and three others from May 18th to May 20th.
The event? It's All Tomorrow's Parties where 6,000 attendees get to watch the artists they have voted for to appear on stage. This terrific concept of allowing the fans to decide who plays has already resulted in Modest Mouse accepting an invitation to play.
We've booked a 4-bed chalet for three nights with self-catering/lounge facilities. Pipe and slippers are optional. Well, there are two post-30 year olds in the group! And all for only £147 each.
My choices have been submitted and are as follows:
1 The Shins
2 Wolf Parade
3 Belle and Sebastian
4 Bert Jansch
5 Death Cab For Cutie
6 Eels
7 Iron & Wine
8 Postal Service
9 Tapes and Tapes
10 Interpol
It's still early days in the voting but the latest chart of votes goes like this ...
1 Arcade Fire
2 Modest Mouse
3 Apples In Stereo
4 Bjork
5 Pavement
6 PJ Harvey
7 The Flaming Lips
8 Godspeed You Black Emperor
9 Aphex Twin
10 Bonnie Prince Billy
11 Sonic Youth
12 TV On The Radio
13 Joanna Newsom
14 Yann Tiersen
15 Boards of Canada
16 Final Fantasy
17 Iron & Wine
18 Le Tigre
19 Lightning Bolt
20 The Pastels
21 The Shins
22 Wilco
23 Belle and Sebastian
24 Broken Social Scene
25 Cat Power
