Thanks for keeping us updated, Jamie! It's always a pleasure to find out you made another contribution to this thread

Farmers Market sounds pretty interesting, I will have to check them out. I haven't cared much about Mastodon since they've put out Blood Mountain, but it's cool for them they are picked by the Melvins to play at ATP, knowing they're all big Melvins fans.

Yesterday I was reading http://www.arthurmag.com/pdfs/Arthur30Part2of2.pdf (http://www.themelvins.net/forum/index.php?topic=10089.0) and this is what Buzz had to say about Pussy Galore when they were reviewing the Free Kitten album.

C: Buzz, you ever see Julie in Pussy Galore?
Buzz: We played with Pussy Galore. I loved them, thought they were great. The lineup I liked best was without her. Three guitar players. But my favorite record of theirs was probably the Sugarshit Sharp EP. We even did a cover off it, a b-side on a seven-inch a long time ago.

I hear Slayer are pretty much a done deal if that floats anyone's boat, seetickets sent out an email that lists them. They finish a european tour at the end of November so makes sense I guess.

still just a rumour for now I suppose, wait til ATP announce it.

Really? Guess Buzz wants to make up for calling them ''shorts wearing satanic banana brains'' 

[Andy]

Cue 8000 Slayer fans in Slayer t-shirts turning up out of nowhere and shouting 'Slayer' before Slayer come on.

I thought that. Maybe they're back on the good-guy list since Lombardo rejoined.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that should be 'Slaaaayuuuurrrrrr!' if I remember my early teens correctly.

I got to work on getting my passport today.

hey guys,
two new additions!

Butthole Surfers picked by Melvins
Squarepusher picked by Patton

[norecess]

Yes!

[Lunica]

I wish they would pick butthole surfers!

I am one happy man.
I wonder when the Stooges will be added!

Sweet! I hope they add the Stooges. I don't think I could ever see em enough times.

[Idlehanz]

Holy chit.

Butthole Surfers.  I didn't think I'd ever.

[Lunica]

Butthole surfers twice in a year - sweet. A year ago, I thought I would never see them.

[Idlehanz]

Butthole Surfers once in a lifetime.  I thought I would never see them!



So here's a possilby stupid question.  Are there going to be different stages set up with different bands playing at the same time, or one stage and just one band after another?  I hope and pray for the latter, because I do not want to have to choose.
