Nope some tickets left.

Is anyone else still waiting for tickets to arrive? I admittedly didn't buy one until August 20, but thought they would be here by now.

They went out a little late but people should get them in the next few days.

Thanks!

Still haven't received my ticket... hopefully it comes before my Tuesday AM flight to NY.

I made an ATP warmup CD-R mix:
http://rapidshare.com/files/275415199/ATP_2009.zip.html

27 tracks!

Sufjan is going to play Seven Swans, just confirmed

So, which ilxors are def. going this weekend? Whiney, I know you'll be there. Too lazy to read through the rest of the thread on my mobile (on the ATP bus right now). Who else can I expect to see there?

The best of Day 1 (in order of descending greatness):

Suicide
Dirty Three
Panda Bear
The Jesus Lizard
The Feelies

Liz Harris/Grouper was fucking incredible.

sitting at the merch booth eating free ice cream = good festival

Fucking excellent:

El-P
Shellac
Grouper
Melvins
Akron/Family

Solid, if not spectacular:

Animal Collective
Antipop Consortium
Autolux
Sleepy Sun
Black Dice
Deerhunter

Yaaaaaawn:

Atlas Sound (enjoy the records, but didn't translate well live)
Sufjan Stevens (not a fan; this shit was PACKED though!)

Just one word: ONEIDA.

Best of the best:

Oneida - "presents the Ocropolis," aka 10+ hours of krautrock inspired free improv., a total mindfuck
Boris - performing Feedbacker
Boredoms - 9 drummer Boadrum

Really damn good:

Caribou Vibration Ensemble + Marshall Allen
No Age + Bob Mould - performing Husker Du songs (oh yes)

Enjoyable enough:

The Flaming Lips (great showmanship, lacking in actual tunes)
Super Furry Animals
Deerhoof + Martha Colburn

Weekend top ten, loosely ordered:

Oneida - "presents the Ocropolis"
El-P
Suicide - performing first LP
Boris - performing Feedbacker
Boredoms - 9 drummer Boadrum
Shellac
Grouper
Caribou Vibration Ensemble + Marshall Allen
Melvins
Dirty Three + special guest Nick Cave

What exactly did Oneida do? Did they do a bunch of sets or was it one long set?

It was one long set, they had their own stage and played for about 10-11 hours. All but the last hour or so was improvised, and they had guests at different points come in and sit and play with them for 10-20 minutes apiece. I saw them play with members of the Flaming Lips and Boredoms, a jam with drummer extraordinaire Zach Hill, and a couple other people I didn't recognize. The last hour was billed as "Oneida Plays Oneida," and they did a bunch of (mostly shorter) songs from albums past and present.

Having their own stage was a really great concept. I was never bored during the day, in between sets of other bands I'd just go see Oneida for a few minutes or half hour or whatever. I dropped in maybe a half dozen times over the course of the day.

Thanks for the quick answer!

I love Oneida. But I love them even more live. Or just hanging around with them. Super nice guys and total bad-asses on stage.

I first crossed paths with them on tour a few nights in '99. Then really re-discovered them when Anthems on the Moon came out.

Was only there for a few hours, seeing Boredoms and Caribou. Thought both were fantastic - best shows I'd seen be either of them. Boredoms overrunning and having their equipment broken down while they played was kinda funny.

I didn't hear a lot of the WFMU broadcasts.

At the NYC Boredoms show last Wednesday, about 5 minutes into the piece, the older of the core drummers was suddenly brought in from the rear of the space perched on a fucking litter with a drumkit on it, borne by 6 or 8 dudes. Did they do that shit at the ATP performance?

thank god I was playing a show so I didn't have to agonize over whether or not to drop $75 to see suicide

that oneida thing sounds incredible. dudes must have been exhausted, though, by the time their actual "set" came along.

god.

fucking amazing weekend. maybe the best atp i've been to, and i only got to see little bits of a bunch of bands. good bits:

* ten or eleven hours of oneida jamming/recording/rehearsing with collaborators including aaron from tall firs, members of flaming lips, boredoms, no neck blues band, zach hill and tons more
* no age / bob mould was amazing though i only got to see three songs :-(, but one was with brandon cox helping them do a cover of chinese rocks so that was pretty sweet
* the low lows playing an extra gig next to the lake, and then their trombonist accompanying the kutshers regular entertainer guy on covers of showtunes and time of my life from dirty dancing
* insane party on saturday night with some couple having sex in the walkin closet with 100+ people just outside
* boris feedbacker absolutely incredible
* 9 drummer boadrum fucking insane, included some crazy 8 necked electric guitar that kept being smashed every now and then. drummers included kid millions from oneida and zach hill
* sufjan seven swans set was beautiful
* last night in one of the hotel lobbies which has a grand piano there was a massive jam session featuring punters and band members including brandon cox playing some microcastles stuff on piano, circulatory system people playing, and most weirdly ryan schrieber from pitchfork playing tiny dancer by elton john
* ian svenonius dance party on saturday night = ridiculously fantastic
* generally lovely crowd
* nick cave played piano with dirty three
* another great jesus lizard show, and the main stage has no barrier thus tons of good crowd interaction
* dj last night playing 4/5 smiths/morrissey songs in a row

exhausted now.

Yes. It was great.

i have so many highlights i can't even get it. I'll just say that Boadrum slayed everything.

And Black Dice was so oppressively loud and ugly. They were shaking the room and dirt was falling on everyone's heads.

the hell man you go to ATP in the first year I've had to miss it since 2004, and you steal my name. Harsh.

Damn, how long have you had yours?

* ten or eleven hours of oneida jamming/recording/rehearsing with collaborators including aaron from tall firs, members of flaming lips, boredoms, no neck blues band, zach hill and tons more

Recording? Nice.

xpost dunno, a while. Was confusing to see myself talking about stuff I didn't do.

The Oneida thing sounds brilliantly nuts. Unrelated, but did Excepter go ahead with their plan of playing from 10am on election day till Obama was announced winner?

Oneida was great. I know someone who stayed in the Ocropolis for like 7 hours on Sunday.

I didn't see it but apparently the NNCK guys showed up to jam. I was told one got naked and the other started throwing a cymbal around until someone kicked him in the stomach.

Oneida did a 30 minute drone with Zach from Knyfe Hits at like 2 pm and it was just heavenly. I zoned out hardcore

Let's start petitioning to have ATP 2010 on a fuckin cruise ship
