This makes me very sad indeed.

Sorry for the negativity... Um, Grails, woo!

No Camber Sands though. Lame.

A. WE ARE DEVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but this is definitely the best first announcement of any ATP. Grails, Devo and Sleep! GRAILS! I've wanted to see them for so so long.

of the vs Fans weekend is giving me goose skin!
I mean. No bands that have ever played ATP UK before?!
And what I love is that (within certain parameters) it's in OUR hands!
Nice work sir!

If I go this weekend who will be my fan pick?
Decisions decisions.

Blates voting for Robert Wyatt.

...fingers crossed none of my final year important deadlines/exams clash with it. Missed the last vs The Fans because of stupid education, don't want to miss another one.

do you get people to vote for your band to play?

Okay as requested, first off a list of bands you can't vote for:
http://www.atpfestival.com/assets/list1.html

and here's also a list of bands you shouldn't vote for as we've approached them and they won't be able to play:
http://www.atpfestival.com/assets/list2.html

http://www.lastminute.com/site/entertainment/theatre/event-product.html?skin=engb.lastminute.com&eventID=707741423-1&ticketOnly=1&pageSize=25&catID=95901&sortBy=nameASC&intcmp=music_hero_metallica

:p

and Antipop Consortium
added to the ATP side of the lineup today

I really cant wait to see Sleep.

never see them back in the day, so....

they rock.

Is this pure fantasy on my part? He hasn't played before.

Can they do an ATP up north? These travelling costs are a killer!!!

ok lets have it out! whens the line up going to be released?? ;) only we are but humble folk and can only afford one ATP so close together, thus in your opinion which one will be better/ more friendly? Breeders / Vs The Fans (considering all the greats seem to have already played ATP before) thus by default the Breeders would seem the better option and if 4AD have anything to do with it, we may hope for Deerhunter to be on the bill?
(he says with everything crossed!)

see how the votings going, cos we could last time and i'd be interested even though i've already bought breeders tickets :D

Can't wait!

should have your voting forms now? care to reassure me on this any of you lovely people?

Kraftwerk
Robert Wyatt
Tom Waits
Half Man Half Biscuit
Please Step Out of the Vehicle
Sufjan Stevens
Diplo
Fucked Up
Ballboy
Elbow

This is the first round of voting. In the second round does everybody get to vote again (possibly for bands that have already played a UK ATP)? Or do you only get one set of votes in any of the rounds?

i'm not sure your explanation that the internet's 'being irritating' is wholly convincing Jamie. Maybe our votes should count double to make up for the inconvenience of having to check our emails every five minutes for the last 24 hours.

Marnie Stern
Mika Miko
Andrew WK
Robert Wyatt
Ponytail
Dan Deacon
Liquid Liquid
Clipse
Kraftwerk
Foot Village

...that don't include HMHB. That is all. Apart from, Eels.

Still haven't received any log-in info for voting. Hmmm. But when i do! It sure would be grand to hear Jason Lytle's new and old material- i'm sure he'd do it - and he still plays grandaddy stuff live. Lets make it happen!

so yes the voting emails for people who bought with seetickets have not gone out yet - we expect they will today - and we will advise on here as soon as we have more info - and don't worry, votes will not be counted until we know everyone has been contacted and had time to vote.
thanks for your understanding.

Oh hang on, I'm not in California:

Try:

Ulrich Schnauss
Album Leaf
God is an Astronaut
Retribution Gospel Choir
Woven Hand
13+God
Sufjan Stevens
Dead Texan
Johnson Mountain Boys
Rusalnaia

Damn that was difficult. Something for everyone I hope.

Still, it's maybe a bit too melodic. I could do with some noise. Fuck Buttons are well out of the voting owing to multiple previous appearances, and MBV I've been to twice this year, so if someone more knowledgeable than me wants to bung in some noise, and possibly a bit of heavy drone or a bit of industrial as well, be my guest. Also, anything Japanese has got to be good: Envy, Mono, World's End Girlfriend and OMG I almost forgot Boris were awesome as well. So please someone, something similar would be good.

ATPs should be all about variety and surprise.

I can't wait. Really. I'm quivering with anticipation.

- Andrew

Gotta vote for GENGHIS TRON after an amazing gig at the underworld on Saturday. Also THE KNIFE would be brill.

and CAVE SINGERS confirmed.

and all the stargreen/lastminute folks should have your voting forms!

Are all the votes of equal value, or does the band you put at #1 get more priority to the band you put at #10?

http://www.atpfestival.com/atp/Events/TheFansStrikeBack/News/View/0812011332.php

Wouldn't Adam and joe doing song wars be 1000 times better?

New chart tomorrow?

http://www.atpfestival.com/atp/Events/TheFansStrikeBack/News/View/0812150853.php

The three best bands in the world right now... probably.

are palying Primeva, so they are touring in May. They got no excuse not too accept the ATP offer now...

http://www.atpfestival.com/atp/Events/TheFansStrikeBack/News/View/0812171446.php

Could you not have explained to Kraftwerk that the alternative is electric wizard and would they be willing to make a sacrafice, 'take one for the team' as they say - i.e. a paycut?

Would probably be something like this:

Poor School
Heavy Winged
Flower/Corsano duo
Sir Richard Bishop
Psychedelic Horseshit
Gown
Jack Rose
Ex-Cocaine
Northampton Wools
+ one more to mull over

I've noticed how removed my list is from the current one.
See my dilemma about whether I should go to this ATP.

woooooooooooooooooooo!

have just voted...

1 The Dead Texan
2 The Magnetic Fields
3 The Dodos
4 Max Richter
5 Lindstrøm
6 I Am Robot And Proud
7 Half Japanese
8 Sir Richard Bishop
9 M83
10 Jucifer

chalets are selling out/sold out on seetickets and wegottickets

Any pre X-mas fan vote news likely or is going to be on the 29th Dec now with the next chart?

but I'm thinking my list might look a little something like this:

1) Harvey Milk
2) Sir Richard Bishop
3) Chrome
4) Hercules & Love Affair
5) Crystal Antlers
6) Aesop Rock
7) Queens of the Stone Age
8) Tomahawk
9) Spank Rock
10) Afghan Whigs

Does anyone else like that kind of thing and want to get a chalet with me?

Amon Tobin
Fugazi (maybe one year they'll be lured out....Fugazi AND Jesus Lizard does sound a bit too perfect though)
Ataxia
Faust
Pivot
Beck
Elbow
Burial
My Morning Jacket
Remember Remember

I'm proper gutted that Holy Fuck have been nabbed for the Breeders weekend!

1 Fugazi (Joe Lally seemed to enjoy himself at MP v M ATP)
2 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3 Eagles Of Death Metal
4 iLiKETRAiNS
5 For a minor reflection
6 Wedding Present
7 Bob Mould
8 Buzzcocks
9 White Denim
10 Reigning Sound

are playing the Wednesday before in London, get them to play please!

Also Black Dice are at the Dome on the Saturday - I know they've played before but when/if you stop this rule then BOOK PLS THX

yes please, and also experimental dental school.

EDS are playing london and oxford the same weekend, what a cunt.

Earth, Clark, Sun Kil Moon, Cephalic Carnage, Starkey, arent being mentioned in the votes. x

I remember them being asked to play the Autechre one too, but they didnt "realise they needed passports" to leave the States so their slot was cancelled at the last minute. So Sunn O))) who were supoosed to actually open up the whole event on Friday afternoon took their place, RIGHT before Aphex Twin absolutley rinsed it for 2 hours. Job Fucking Done. From Drone to Gabber! Party. x

On wether we will get an update today?

pretty please?:)

HEALTH
Shearwater
The Acorn
The Pink Mountaintops

and

for breeders

errr, CSS?
and Supersuckers.

http://www.atpfestival.com/atp/Events/TheFansStrikeBack/News/View/0901061438.php

...so the fact that the new list is pretty dissimilar to the last list suggests that it's changing as people add new votes...which is fine (and reminds me that I've got to get my 3 chalet mates to get off their arses and vote)...but I also wonder if some bands have been removed from the list because they are being recruited to the ATP side.

In particular, I'm either very sad that Gravenhurst are off the list, or very happy that they (or more likely he) is about to be announced on the ATP side.

Jamie - can you give us some idea of the numbers of votes these people are getting, and what the total capacity of Minehead is? The psephologist in me is itching to know.

Thanks

Andrew

i dont personally have the number of votes available i'm afraid.
total capacity of minehead is around 5500 from what i remember.

hypothetically, ATP had noticed that Jim White was in the UK in April/May, and he hypothetically appeared at Minehead, both to do a set and to talk a bit about "Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus", which would co-incidentally be one of the films hypothetically playing in the cinema?

is getting mighty close :s

Okay we still haven't got confirmations back from My Bloody Valentine, Flight Of The Conchords or Electric Wizard. If we don't hear back from them by Monday next week we will be moving on

was it by email or in person they told you?

you people disappoint me

Thanks.

They'd be:

Project Mork
Earth
Venetian Snares
Kunt & The Gang
The Bays
Daniel Johnston
Napalm Death
KJ Sawka
Sunn O)))
Zeke

I'd swap any of the above for a reformation of Man Or Astroman? though!

have played before, instead I'd have:

Underworld
Ghost
Wu-Tang Clan
This Bike Is A Pipebomb

ELECTRIC WIZARD added, more info and chalet update here:
http://www.atpfestival.com/atp/Events/TheFansStrikeBack/News/View/0901120907.php

Pavement say they might reform in 2009 for their 20th birthday. I assume they'll be asked. And I assume they'll be too expensive / not ready. Maybe next year!

1. Andrew W.K.
2. POLYSICS
3 iLiKETRAiNS
4. The Mae Shi
5. DJ Scotch Egg
6. Bright Eyes
7. Future Of The Left
8. Gay For Johnny Depp
9. The Wu-Tang Clan
10. Alec Empire

announced for the 9th (nme)

last update hinted that there would be a line up update today. Is that still the case or is next monday more likely?

would be the canine's..i did vote for 'em

as i wasnt madly keen on the electric mainline show a few years back, but all the reviews are saying that they were incredible at atp australia

why was nobody yet voting for Neurosis? Strange enough they didn't play ATP yet.. so I did that now :)

so guesssing any updates on the four offers sent out will happen then?

worryingly quiet though... Maybe not today now?

YEAH. The lineup is about to get SHIT HOT.

I shall be ordering tickets. He was too skint to go, then Tony Hart died.

I'm officially excited now...

I hope its the Au Pairs.

It won't be...

i'm buying today and dunno whether to be stingy and not get self catering???? yay or nay people??? there will be 4 of us.

Please could more people vote for Micachu & the Shapes / Abe Vigoda

Thanks

x

2 Neurosis
3 Wolves in the Throne Room

5 The Afghan Whigs
6 Aesop Rock

4. d_rradio
5. Early Day Miners
6. Josephine Foster
7. Rykarda Parasol
8. Throw Me The Statue
9. Windsor For The Derby
10. Russian Circles

I'm sure I will have to rely on the 25-50-75-100 selection method for any of these to even make a chance of getting in. Other people can vote for the obvious choices and turn it into a popularity contest.

Harvey Milk
Flying Lotus
!!!
Cath & Phil Tyler
Neurosis
Clipse
Eagles of Death Metal
Mi Ami
Sir Richard Bishop
LITE

and teevee: Fawlty Towers, Father Ted (good choice phil), Cecil B Demented, Wild at Heart

Man or Astro-Man?
Pinback
Pavement
ISLANDS!
Fucked Up
Shitty Limits
Fischerspooner
The Rentals
The Faint
The Dauntless Elite

on the future of the left forum, it looks like someone from the band was asking on the forum for people to vote for them to play, because they wanted to use it as a place to launch the new album. So i guess they'll say yes!

Are touring in May in their native land. Any chance they'd do ATP?

Is there going to be another round of voting Jamie?

"you can only vote for acts that have never played a UK ATP before... at least for the first round of voting."

Which implies that the second round would allow you to, if there was one.

I'm all for the initial rule about new bands playing. But i think for the entire event it's far too restrictive. Not every band on that played-before list is like Shellac etc.

Eels
Ove Naxx
Dan Deacon
Cats in Paris
Jarvis Cocker
Rolo Tomassi
Xiu Xiu
Elbow
Zoe Keating
Fever Ray

Jan Svankmajer films, Brothers Quay films, Blackadder, Doctor Strangelove, Invader Zim, The Day Today, oldskool Bond films, The White Diamond, Black Books.

Are we getting an tomorrow?

update still on for today?

How come they're still no.10 on the chart if they've had an offer?

Just realised i'd not even considered them, but they're back together now.

I went for Chavez. Fingers crossed!

Can't believe people want to see MGMT.

But might if people vote for these...

Gruff Rhys
Mount Eerie
Menomena
Holy Fuck
Grandaddy
Parts and Labor
The reindeer section (or some variation)
Pete Nolan
Remember Remember
Volcano
They might be giants
Prince

Go on!! Then I'll buy...

me + a lot of my friends voted for Chavez.
fingers crossed.

my votes =

Thee More Shallows
Maps & Atlases
Daughters
Fog
The Night Marchers
Midlake
Think about Life
Themselves
Chavez
Mates of State

If Daughters play i'll be well chuffed. might need some kind of cloth though. To mop up my brains as they melt and drip out of my nose.

5 The Fall

Einstürzende Neubauten
Mission of Burma
A place to bury strangers
National
can't remember my 5th vote :)

is up

taunton-minehead coaches should be on sale next monday.

But it would be nice to know if it's not going to be this week for example. So i'm not pointlessly checking the site every half an hour.
Especially annoying that all the updates seem to be about AC in London or yet another Spiritualized london show when i live at the other end of the country!

The FAQ states "Tickets should be received at the latest by approximately one month before the event". It is less than a month away now, and we don't have our tickets, but no one else seems to have mentioned it yet (bought through seetickets). Has anyone expecting tickets in the post received them yet?

Lovely news about NBC and all, but I'd really quite like to hear if we'll be getting Autechre, ingrate that I am...

Anybody used this service before? £40 for cooked dinners/breakfasts seems within reason, though obviously not if the food is garbage (I'm not expecting Blumenthal concoctions or anything, but you know).

As I'm not, I really can't wait to get down to Minehead.

I just find it a wee bit puzzling that Andrew WK confirming could blow the budget.

We had offers out to Passion Pit, Gang Gang Dance and Autechre at once, none of them accepted but Andrew WK accepts and blows the budget? Is he a greedy bastard? Just seems strange that booking him would be the equivilant of booking the 3 above?

Seems to me that maybe ATP were just struggling to find bands who were available?

Surely ATP have contacts and could even choose a band or 2 themselves if there is nobody on the fans side who can confirm?
