no expense spent again this year by Pontins, Slint, ATP, Foundation etc

there is a light that never goes out for ATP

after nearly making Chris cry on the drive down to ATP, he soon cheered up with the discovery of a kitchen with whine wine

How many scenesters from Nottingham does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

The Friday night drinking game that I found out I won on Saturday morning

happy as a pair of chimps in a beat off contest

I have no fucking idea what this is or was

Early Man early casualty

Early Man via beer goggles

Early Man Flying V

someone spiked my drink I'm sure

Early Man and what I wish was their amps on fire

Early Man stupid girl

after a bottle of bourbon and everything else: spinning.

Early Man early exit

I awaken for the Melvins and arrive as drunk as can be

camouflage

Buzz Melvins announces a special guest

calm

Kevin Rutmanis and David Yow

David Yow doing a Readybrek advert

David Yow swishing around

Melvins' bassist Kevin Rutmanis, formerly of the Cows!

David Yow superglues nose to mic

toga!

David Yow pretending to be Mark E. Smith in a dress

David Yow and you know what

David Yow feeling the effects of eating Camber Sands food

David "Dirty Dancing" Yow

David Yow dresses for the occasion (ho ho)

the camouflage works

David Yow realises he is half naked and runs from the stage

Buzz Osbourne's head explodes

Buzz Osbourne

or Sideshow Bob?

Camber Sands still rocks that badd camp vibe (and by badd camp, you know what I mean)

Camber Sands playground

the downstairs stage

The ATP 2005 crew make their way back to another chalet adventure

the upstairs beer festival

The Chunklet magazine guys didn't stop moving all weekend, not even to stop to have a photograph taken that wasn't blurred (ho ho)

mogwai: purple and blurred

mogwai b&w

Dominic/Demonic mogwai looking gaunt

Stuart Braithwaite looking like he wishes he had a machine gun in his hands instead of a guitar

could be Aidan Moffat, could be anyone

Aidan Moffat does something with mogwai

Stuart Braithwaite loses guitar

Faun Fables: "do you like dags?"

Faun Fables: "did you dress in the dark again?"

Need New Body need

girl on boy violence part 1: Sofie beats Racton for getting very drunk

forced smile from me

Faun Fables looking as if they are burning alive. If only.

The Joanna Newsom fanclub. Osama and Racton: ATP's Mini Me and Dr Evil.

Faun Fables fuck off

Polar Goldie Cats aiming for their drummer

Polar Goldie Cats visibly reconsidering the kitten ears on their hoodies

hoodies: the best fashion choice of the weekend

the Spoon set up

prior to playing Spoon watch over their equipment so it does not stolen by a limey or two

Spoon: ecologically green

Spoon! Fuck yeah!

Spoon even rocked b&w

Spoon and pop = ATP revelation

Spoon and grain

Slint hit the stage

a gothic art silhouette of Slint or a really crap picture of Slint: your decision.

David Pajo visibly melting

angry Slint guy with the angry voice on Tweez

if I told you this was Slint, would you believe me?

carnage on Saturday night

my unfortunate view of Slint ending with Good Morning Captain

girl on boy violence part 2: Liz recreates a Slint bootlegger dealing with Tom

Sunday morning and we awaken to a frightening amount of snow

Neil Hamburger looking as distressed as me for blurring all the photos of him

Neil Hamburger as per a crap b&w television (a Pontins TV perhaps)

Neil Hamburger blurred by the effects of booze. Just how it should be done

Mightly Flashlight, not so mighty in my opinion. From Happy Go Licky to a crap beard and a bad jumper, surely that equates to losing your way

from a distance, King Kong sounding like Beat Happening and B52s

in the green, White Magic was good on guitar but less so once she hit the piano. Hulking it up

this Abba lookalike was a member of White Magic performing all kinds of magic causing me to laugh more than I did the rest of the weekend.

Camber Sands? More like Camber Snows

the snow of the drive home

the car I raced on the A12 on the way home
