ATP Excitement Fortnight # 3


So my last ATP Excitement post was pretty lacklustre, but this one is a doozy because the timetable for ATP's 10 Years celebration has been released today. It can be found here.
The disappointments that arise are inevitably from the clashes of which there are a few important ones.
BAD: First is sine-wave-collapsing destructionists Growing seeping half an hour of their no-doubt hypnotic set into Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks' set. But then with Pavement reforming is anyone actually that bothered by this?

GOOD: THey managed to squeeze Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Fever To Tell (and more) set nicely between J Mascis and the Fog and Mum. SUPERB SCHEDULING.

BAD: Dirty Three and Shellac clash badly on the Saturday.

GOOD: Shellac ALSO play Sunday! YESSSSSSS!

REALLY REALLY BAD: Gonna have to decide between Melvins or Battles and The Breeders or Modest Mouse. Sad face infinity.

REALLY REALLY GOOD: The Sunn O))) set is on at a nightmare enducing 2am - 3.15am slot. Miss this at your peril.

EXTRAORDINARY BADNESS: Set leakage includes Mudhoney into Explosions In The Sky, and Lightning Bolt into Polvo

EXCELLENT GOODNESS: Shellac open Sunday. Also switching between Mars Volta and Sunn O)))'s second set means for maximum brain meltage. YESSSSSS!

Overall this is going to be the best thing ever.
