The My Bloody Valentine-curated ATP Nightmare Before Christmas in a word? Loud.
In two words? Effing loud.
In three words? Really effing loud.
And seriously, seriously good.
I've got a bit of a backlog of gig reviews to post first, but the festival write-up will appear at some point - and, when it does, expect all of the following: "brown noise", songs about the Manson murders, space jazz, being stalked by Mercury Rev's Jonathan Donohue, the smell of pea soup, hilarious drunk Scandanavians who look like characters from Heavy Metal Parking Lot, Christmas jumpers, what Bob Mould likes to get romantic to, and Dirty Three's Warren Ellis' tale of trying to buy a packet of crisps when under the influence of Glastonbury 1975-grade LSD.
But how's about a quick Feel Good Hits Nightmare Before Christmas special in the meantime? OK then...

You definitely need to get to this, and soon, because I need to hear that Mercury Rev story.
Ah, fear I've made it sound more intriguing than it actually was...
