All aboard the ATP train
Let's just get on with it already. It was last December when I first posted about the upcoming All Tomorrow's Parties festival. Highlights now include Modest Mouse, Sparklehorse, Daniel Johnston, Patti Smith, The Go Team, Echo and the Bunnymen, Yo La Tengo, Battles and of course, Band of Horses. Phew. The situation/event demands military precision and a highlighter pen if one is to see the main draws.
The operation took a knock, or rather our driver did when he was thrown from his bike on Holloway Road last week, smashing his collarbone in the process. Not to fear. The old man-like contingency is to take the train to the fantastically kitsch Butlin's holiday park in Minehead, Somerset.
The proliferation of smaller festivals in the past few years is testament to the diversity and hunger for music that will never get a mention during prime time radio or TV. That said, who could have guessed that MCD would organise a stellar line-up for Oxegen in 2007, especially considering the allegations that surfaced last year? Paul and El Commandant P are tackling Primavera the week after, so expect a full debriefing from Barcelona.
Here's something to whet the appetite for all Patti Smith fans ...
