Slow Thrills

ATP vs the Fans
Amazingly, Slint were added to the bill yesterday, an announcement I'm kinda thrilled about because it's another big name to add to the rest, but I'm also kinda miffed because it makes the Slint-curated ATP in 2005 seem a bit less special (my review here). It was originally mooted as a one-off but I ended up seeing them twice that week (Camber Sands and Dublin) and now here they come again! Once difference is that last time they were the only truly outstanding act amongst a half-full line-up, this time there are a lot of great bands.
There will of course be inevitable clashes, the running order below has been leaked to a few places this week, I should stress that it is unofficial.....
