Many happy returns


So it was back to Butlins on Friday for the second installment of high-grade, high-volume, high-thrills excitement - this time with party hats on, to celebrate ten years of All Tomorrow's Parties. And if anything, it was even better than the previous one.

A sneak preview of what'll be in the review, when it eventually materialises: the sublime (Fuck Buttons), the ridiculous (Sunn O)))), Steve Albini having the gall to make a noise complaint, mad Japanese ladies, Warren Ellis' near-death experience, watching mice being taught table manners, what not to say to Dave Pajo, Melvins' four drummers, a picture of a prawn with Susan Boyle's face and Cedric Bixler-Zavala's personal grape-warmer.
