and the curator of ATP/NY 2009 is...

Flaming Lips.

kind of a yawn choice for me. at this point, i'd say the acts which most interest me are Suicide, Dirty 3 (haven't seen them live since just after their debut LP), and David Cross.

i would imagine that the Lips would bring Mercury Rev back. maybe they are friends w/ Yoshimi so the Boredoms will land on Sunday's bill.

Lips know how to put on a show! Even if yr yawning from their LP's, the perforamance as an experience is their forte.

Well at least this means they won't be curating in the UK

How is this a yawn? Have you even been to a Flaming Lips show? It can turn the hardest of punk rockers into 5 year old giddy little school girls before the first song is done (in a good way, of course).

narlus · 12.11.2008, 11:16 AM

yes i've been to two Lips shows...saw 'em @ TT's in the mid 90s and then pre-Soft Bulletin.

actually, we left early that show.

I don't know exactly what their shows were like then. I know their early shows were Butthole Surfer-esque, and their shows now are like a preschooler's acid trip, but I don't know anything about there shows in the Ronald Jones era.

looks like that roadtrip up to the catskills will have to wait until at least 2010

everything the flaming lips have done this decade has been lame, thats just a band thats been going at it for too fucking long. but 'clouds taste metallic' is one hell of a rock album.

The Soft Bulletin is a great album. It makes me feel really cheery.
