Holy Guacamole again, Brazilian Tropicalia Heroes Os Mutantes played last night, and it was incredible!
They hadn't played for 33 years and the ten-piece band played a hilarious set with Arnaldo and Sergio Dias Baptista, the two brothers from the original line-up playing in tights, boots and capes!
Their music is psychedelic pop, at times veering towards Brazilian cheese of course, but ultimately out of this world. I usually can't bring myself to clap along with bands, but an encore of A Minha Menina and the ace Bat Macumba had me clapping along and dancing int he aisles! A total treat.
Os Mutantes will be on tonights show, and other than them it's mostly all about All Tomorrow's Parties!
So live music from Sleater Kinney, Fiery Furnaces, Clinic, Elf Power and Dungen! Its gonna be good - the BBC engineers were recording loads of sets for me and Rob da Bank's shows, so loads more live music to come.
Were you there at ATP at all this year? Who were your highlights? Who would you liek to see curate in the future? What was your chalet like?

Kraftwerk would be great as curators, but only if they played. The other band I think should definately do it, would be Underworld.
I think Karl and Rick would pick an amazing selection of artists from across the board.
Listen up ATP - heed my advice!
my chalet didnt have a shower.but i met lots of nice people and a strange korean guy who wouldnt stop dancing. i would have liked oliver reed to organise an atp. i have no idea who would have played but crikey it would have been fun.

I was at the Os Mutantes gig. I have worked in and around music for many years. It was simply the best gig i have ever been to, bar none. Stunning
Nothing else to say
