I heart Mogwai.
And the festival started as The Bowlie Weekender, put on by the bedwetter's favourite anorak-clad band, Bellend Sebastian.

I missed out on Bowlie
My first ATP was the Shellac curated one, which was just incredible. So many good bands.

I love Shellac.

What's not to love?

They aren't for everyone.

True, but I meant for you.
I would have expected you to love them.

Steve Albini is one of my heroes.

They set the bar pretty high for ATP
I expected them subsequent ones to be the same. It was only later I realised that the 3x free CDs featuring all the bands playing, plus the packed line up, etc. were features that Shellac had introduced for "their" festival.
All the others I've been to have been good, but that one was the best.
