Actor/singer/raconteur/studmonster Vincent Gallo is curating this spring's UK All Tomorrow's Parties festival. You decide if this is a good thing or not. I notice some old school NYC names he's likely known for years - James Chance, Lydia Lunch, Suicide....

More old school 1997 Gallo interview material here.

And dig this? At Carnegie Hall the other night for the Tibetan benefit, Ray Davies played five songs from The Kink's 1968 LP The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society: "The Village Green," "Picture Book," "Animal Farm," "Do You Remember Walter?" and "Johnny Thunder."
