It says on the schedule site that you get a choice. I really hope you do. If I get allocated MBV while Lightning Bolt are playing I'll be mega pissed off.

Come rock out with me at the Scream. They've got a great live set these days, actually playing more from XTRMTR than their newer albums. Plus bear in mind their gig will almost definately feature Kevin Shields on guitar.

I'm still really torn on the issue, but I suspect I'll go with Yo La Tengo, as I've never seen them before and have always wanted too...

YLT were one of the highlights of ATP NY in '08.

Wish I could be over there with you guys for this one...

I wish you could be there too, Jenn... it would have made great material for No Setlist Part Deux!

Even though, sure, there aren't that many "OMG AMAZING" bands there, pretty much all the acts will be enjoyable to see I'm sure, and hell, it's still 3 days of at least decent loud rocking music, in Butlins, which to me is a recipe for awesome under any circumstance. Quit yer bellyaching!

Yo Earl, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Thurston had one of the best ATPs of all time!!!!! Of all time!!!!!!!

Seriously though, don't let a miserable bastard like me ruin your anticipation. It's going to be a wonderful weekend.

ATP is awesome, always and ever.

I'm going to get massively drunk, humiliate blunderbuss at go-karting, call you a kokot and more, dance in the rain and piss in Nefeli's bed.

Sonic Youth + Burger King = 2 of my favourite things. :)

The first time I ever heard "Daydream Nation" I was eating Burger King food.

That was a loooooooooooooong time ago.

Good news for you: at the Burger King stage you'll be able to enjoy your double whopper with extra cheese and twister fries while watching Sonic Youth from a distance.

I'm a bit surprised they're playing the Pavillion thing though, I was expecting (and hoping) them to play the Centre stage twice (with a wristband system) like in 2006.

it's been a while since i last practiced midget throwing, so i'm worried i'll only be able to reach about 20-25 meters. that's not going to get you anywhere near the front. :(
