Hey you moops. I’m not gonna sugar coat this. Or check the spelling. Or the grammar. Or the Mangum/Magnum thing that people always do. So, Jeff Magnum just added Sun Ra Arkestra to the ATP he’s curating next month at Butlin’s Holiday Centre, Minehead, UK on March 9-11. Probably because he likes horns and because he’s a fan of this video. He also asked ATP to curate one of the venues themselves for the Saturday of the event, and they just added Oneohtrix Point Never and Feathers. Probably because they like Jeff Magnum and read Tiny Mix Tapes.
Did I mention that he’s also headlining (alongside Joanna Newsom and Magnetic Fields) with a set of Neutral Milk Hotel tunes and other rarities and that the total capacity of the whole fest is only 5000? And that all tickets include accommodations in “a heated apartment with TVs, beds, bathroom facilities and kitchens (in Self Catered apartments)” and that all this shit is happening indoors in three heated venues so you won’t have to deal with all the dumb mud and rain and other crap that made Woodstock fucking suck so bad???
Yeah, I know man. Get there.
