Meltdown 2007
Yes, after a two year gap whilst Festival Hall has been refurbished, but Meltdown is back and curated this year by none other than Jarvis Cocker. What a fine eclectic mix of acts he has lined up for us, he’s got a tough battle to beat Patti Smith for the title of ‘Best Meltdown I have Attended’ but there’s definitely potential there.
We have tickets for Motorhead (!), Sunn 0))), John Barry doing his film soundtracks, Devo, something under the name of ‘Lost Ladies of Folk’, I’m sure we’ll see the free Turntable café psychedelic tribute to Roky Erikson, and this Sunday there are a host of singers doing classic Disney songs. Jarvis will be doing ‘I wanna be like you’ from the Jungle Book, Nick Cave, Brian Ferry, Grace Jones are all also performing and so will be Pete Doherty, possibly singing ‘Chim Chiminee’. Tune in on Monday for a review.
Ps we have just booked two more Arcade Fire shows for November, which will mean I have seen them 7 times this year by the end of the year, and Mac will have seen them a massive 11 times!
