All Tomorrow's Parties LA

check out this line-up

And the good news is -

If the pact I've made with two friends (and neither of them are Satan, suprisingly) holds together -

I'M FUCKING GOING!!

WOOOOO!!!

Not Here Still

[bad regional UK joke]

Bugger - thought you meant it was in Liverpool.

Calmed down now...

Seth

15:32 / 15.11.01

You had me at hello. Pity it's in LA. Still, it'll be worth it for the Boredoms alone.

Seth

15:45 / 15.11.01

The UK event sounds shit hot, too:

Low, Shellac, Bonnie Prince Billy, Melt Banana, Rachel's... yum!

Pin

06:32 / 16.11.01

Beans! That does look cool...

Anyone going to the UK one though?

Sorry for going off topic...

And how much is it?

And Riz, you're too fucking lucky for your own good... Don't suppose ya wanna, say, steal the bands and bring them back here, do ya? Aphex, Sonic Youth and Cannibal Ox will do...

rizla mission

Well Aphex and Cannibal ox are a bit too scary for a wuss like me to capture and Sonic Youth are dead rich, so they probably have security guards and the ability to hire hitmen.

I suppose I could make a kidnap attempt on Modest Mouse and CatPower, but believe me, it would all end in tears.. and my appreiciation of their music would really suffer if I had to pack them into suitcases..

WOOO! I'm still floating round the ceiling from this one, still haven't actually, like, booked it yet, but man, it's still the best thing ever.

i'm going to the uk event.
here's a warning:
oxes will knock your socks off.

is aphex playing the uk too?

grant

15:43 / 16.11.01

Please go to Cat Power and tell me how it is.

Her show in Miami was utterly bizarre (I mean, so bad it was good, just about) and I need to know if it really was, as it appeared to be, the cold medication.

Seth

14:18 / 17.11.01

If the Boredoms were at the UK event, I'd be there like a shot (same goes for Can O and Aphex). As it is, I'm not sure whether I can justify the money. Maybe as a Birthday pressie...

She was the same in London, g. Use your web fu and I think you'll find that she's always like that in concert.

nah. they're, like, really nice and approachable.

no, seriously, at the monarch gig (review here), there was a crowd of peeps buying the album off him. sold out by the time i got there, but he was still chatting to everyone he could...

so, how are you getting to l.a, riz?

rizla mission

14:15 / 19.11.01

On a plane, one hopes.

Well Melt Banana are doing the UK one, and they rock ten times more than is humanly possible - so maybe it'll make up for the Boredoms..

Locust No longer

15:06 / 19.11.01

The Boredoms are still my favorite live band ever. I want to got to this concert. Will I? Probably not. But damn it! SONIC YOUTH AND THE BOREDOMS!!!!

rizla mission

15:42 / 19.11.01

go on! You know you want to! book a ticket and hop on a .. whatever people in WI use to get to LA.

*shivers*
I saw Cat Power the other day here in Rio. Funny on the first two songs, the fake amateurish thing... nice girl...
Then, as the show unfolded, and all her songs ended up having the same tempo, using the same three chordss (ok, I concede, there
was one in which she used an Am... )but that was about it...
I just wanted someone to shoot me. Or her.
Urgh.

grant

16:20 / 19.11.01

Yet, I still love her albums.

Utterly bizarre.

rizla mission

13:07 / 20.11.01

My friend and I are both so taken with Catpower at the moment that she could unsuccessfully attempt to whistle 'what shall we do with the drunken sailor?', sit in silence for 40 minutes and leave - and we'd still have melted into happy puddles of unquestioning adoration.

So no worries there.

grant

12:53 / 21.11.01

Don't be surprised if THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

rizla mission

21:37 / 06.12.01

UPDATE: the plane tickets are booked - I'm going, I'm really going!

ha ha ha ha!

I forsee this conversation happening a lot in the next few months:

ME:hey, guess what, I'm going to LA to attend this great music festival!

PERSON: wow, cool. who's playing?

ME: sonic youth, aphex twin, television, sleater kinney, stereolab, stephen malkmus and the jicks, the boredoms, cat power, cannibal ox, smog, modest mouse...

PERSON .. i know what most of those words mean, but i've never heard them in that order.. is it some kind of jazz thing?

grant

09:24 / 10.12.01

Where are you staying? My sister lives in LA. She's good people....

rizla mission

09:24 / 10.12.01

We've got a hotel suite booked .. somewhere near by.

Doesn't cost that much when split between four people.

That is, four jet-lagged, unsociable, british people who are likely to wear out the kindness of strangers pretty quick
