ATP NY 09: All Tomorrow's Parties New York

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

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

I attended ATP all weekend and it was a blast. There were definitely more sets that I loved this year than last year.

I agree that the Boredoms were absolutely amazing and my favorite of the weekend. Other sets that I absolutely loved in no real order:

Caribou Vibration Ensemble
Animal Collective
Boris
Sufjan Stevens
Oneida 'Ocropolis' (saw the first couple of hours with the Lips and Akron/Family which was good and caught some of the Boredoms collaboration)
Deerhunter
The Lips
Deerhoof
Dirty Three
Akron/Family
Panda Bear
El-P

Also, liked Black Dice more live than on record but could only take about fifteen minutes of it because it rattled my brain. Enjoyed what I saw of Boss Hog. Caught some of No Age/Bob Mould (which was cool and saw Mould DJing after hours. So much fun stuff and a great vibe.

Such a great time! Thanks ATP and I hope you do this next year.

Dirty Three made a believer out of me

To expand on an above question -- yes, the Oneida set was recorded in full and will possibly see release in some form.

From the ATP website:

The performances will be recorded on the fly with a multi-track mobile recording unit by Gang Gang Dance producer and engineer Sean Maffucci. Oneida will then mix, edit and compile the best moments of the day for release as soon as possible. The resultant album will then be made available as an adjunct part of the Thank Your Parents series of releases on a limited basis.

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.

I was there, and unfortunately, this is not entirely accurate. He played drums for about 15-20 minutes, then started reassembling the drum kit into a tower (bass on bottom, snare on top), then took off his shoes/clothes one by one and hung them over the tower, then pulled draperies from the wall to add to the tower, then he poured a cup of beer over the whole thing. Then, completely naked, he picked up the huge tower of stuff and carried it around the stage for about 10 minutes. Then he set it down (with help from the Oneida guys) and put everything back, and put his clothes back on. This was all done in a very zoned-out, ritualistic way, I might add -- very slowly and "artistically," if you could call it that -- and served as interesting visual accompaniment to the entirety of Zach Hill's jam session.

I have pictures, btw, and could post tomorrow if anyone's interested.

While he was carrying the drum tower around the stage/floor, one of the guys in the audience went up randomly and grabbed a pair of drumsticks and started banging on the drums he was carrying, and then on the guy's ass. No, I do not have pictures of that part.

mass drunken foolishness pleases me

Did you record that???

Four pages of memories from the Voice blog.

Kinda like this as a way of reading about events more that "And then Panda Bear played Bros" et al.

No i didnt record it, just found it on youtube.

Jesus fuck, that Village Voice thing is fantastic. Lots of shared memories in there. I love ATP.

Unrelated, but did Excepter go ahead with their plan of playing from 10am on election day till Obama was announced winner?

I like the implication that had mccain won, they would still be playing

xpost - yay!

Someone win this contest and post about it.

The Scientists perform Blood Red River (first ever U.S. show)

argh

can we lobby iggy to do fun house instead?

thought they already did fun house?

not that they shouldn't be lobbied to do it again

though with ron asheton gone I guess there isn't much point

they did fun house for the first ever dont look back 5 years ago; thus they're doing raw power for the 5 year anniversary. cannot wait for iggy in the stardust ballroom!

Just bought my room! See you there!

are the Stooges going to be the first rock and roll hall of fame inductees to play an ATP?

They played the Thurston Moore one a couple of Christmas' ago...

But that was before they were inducted!

Fair point.

nope. we've also had Patti Smith...think she's the only other one though.

imagine an atp consistent solely of hall of fame inductees. ewww.
