Quote:Today we announce a third round of additions as picked by My Bloody Valentine to join them on the lineup for the Nightmare Before Christmas:THE PASTELS

Mascis & The Fog / Lilys / A Place To Bury Strangers / Witch + many more bands TBC!

If it’s the Schools/Spence Fog, I’m going to be mighty bummed I won’t be able to be there.
Just think of all the tunes we haven’t heard in years that they’re going to play.
I would love it if J were to start doing alternating Dino & Fog tours.
June 11, 2009 at 12:20 pm #135365Yes indeed. Its interesting too MBV picked J Mascis & the Fog over Dinosaur too. I wonder why.
It would be cool to hear other songs than we typically hear in the Dino sets.
June 11, 2009 at 12:53 pm #135366If this outing of the Fog has George & Watt onboard I will have to be mental not to go see them.

They brought out something in J’s playing I’ve never seen/heard before or since.
June 11, 2009 at 2:34 pm #135368None taken. My reasons are purely sentimental. + it would be great if George came back on the board again.
Also, you can’t beat Watt & George. Simple as that
June 12, 2009 at 10:27 am #135369I enjoy watching George drum…the same with Kyle…..like they get my attention and I spend a lot of time looking.
My bets on this "Fog" are it’s going to be Lou and Murph. Anyone want to place a bet?
When I was younger…this would be something worth spending money on and taking a little trip to see. However, with all these children I have there is no more extra ching …also it’s happening at a very busy time of the year……..children now wanting bigger things from Santa…..brother wants an I-touch like his sister has….and my oldest wants a trip to Japan for Christmas, she is already on Orbitz looking at prices, she just learned a valuable life lesson, airfare doubles during the holidays. Oh, bring back the days when all Santa brought were oranges, nuts and handmade dolls.
OH, Tubby, I haven’t forgotten about you……..I had a big mouse come into my house and run away with everything………..soon to be replaced.
and Tubby is correct about J’s playing…..he got all relaxed and "Jam Band" out with those guys which is perfect for those long extended guitar things he is good at. Uh,oh…..My chil’rens are fighting better go and nip that nonsense in the bud. Summer….I love the togetherness…..I really do.June 12, 2009 at 1:47 pm #135370
Been gutted about never seeing JM+TF for years. Love to see this.

I’d go with Schools and Spence, they played the Jazzmaster 50th Anniversary show and that was pretty recent.

June 12, 2009 at 4:33 pm #135372One example of this is the show on 5/10/07 at The Casbah in Dan Diego. The show was billed as "J Mascis and Friends", but it turned out to be a JayLouMurph show. I’m not saying that this is what will happen at ATP, but just an instance. I too miss the Fog and hope that they will continue side by side with JayLouMurph. It would be nice to hear more post-Lou/Fog songs live. Although I love Mike Watt to death, I too think that the Schools/Spence Fog was a better fit for the songs. I’ve listened back to a lot of the Watt-era Fog shows and his bass lines sound a little out of tune at times. Just my opinion.
June 12, 2009 at 4:45 pm #135373Who knows who it will be, I did see the Fog for the Jazzmaster event recently and Murph was in the crowd and I talked to him and he was bummed that J didn’t ask him to do it. I don’t know who it will be but definately not Murph or Lou.
June 16, 2009 at 11:53 am #135374The Fog will consist of Dave Schools & Kyle Spence for the show. Just confirmed from the fine folks at Blee Music (J’s Management) http://www.bleemusic.com”>http://www.bleemusic.com
June 16, 2009 at 2:20 pm #135375Oh, my gosh the reverse psychology, prayers and magical spells from ye old "Witches Formulary" work.
I would say………"Who Knew"……….but I know the answer already.
I’m just so glad J was wearing his green sort of water proof jacket when I spilled the invocation water down his back in front of the 40 Watt while giving him a hug. If he noticed he didn’t say a thing. Thank you J Mascis you are very kind and thanks to the universe for answered prayers. Too bad I’ll be "crunching numbers" wondering how I’m going to make it all work for the holiday’s instead of enjoying that event. Oh, well….I declare "Life is Good" today.
I am getting ready to leave and sit reading by the pool while the kids swim and YOU KNOW, I’m going to have the biggest smile on…………I already do and it’s not going away.
June 16, 2009 at 2:52 pm #135376I really hope I get to this. Just emailed Mike Watt to find out if he was involved but that now that question’s answered.
June 17, 2009 at 6:44 am #135377hi all
6 Berth chalets are the latest option to sell out for this event.
Small amounts of 4 and 7 berths are all that’s left: http://www.atpfestival.com/”>http://www.atpfestival.com/
