My Meltdown
18 Jun 2007, 21:29 by Grindrod
Okay, so keystothecity and I were chatting at work today about the Southbank Meltdown festival, and who we would invite to perform if it was up to us. I'm assuming it goes on for 2 weeks, so that's 14 acts. Here's my dream line-up.
Julee Cruise and Angelo Badalamenti performing those two amazing albums they produced, turning the Southbank into Twin Peaks for the night.
Altered Images, I'd definitely get them to reform to perform some of my all time favourite pop songs.
I'd love to get the Pet Shop Boys and The Magnetic Fieldsto perform an evening of Stephen Sondheim songs with an army of guest vocalists and west end Wendys.
It's be super to get Kraftwerk to perform, but if they couldn't make it, maybe the Balanescu Quartet could perform their rather brilliant string quartet versions of those electro classics.
I'd love to see Art of Noise perform Close to the Edit live. And imagine seeing Malcom McClaren with them, performing Madame Butterfly and Double Dutch. Amazing!
Luke Haines needs to be there with Black Box Recorder or The Auteurs, maybe both, I'm not fussy.
Imagine how great it would be to get some new wave stars out of retirement. I'm seeing an amazing double bill of Lene Lovich and Propaganda.
I want Richard X and Annie there, maybe with Kelis and Deborah Evans-Strickland from the Flying Lizards for some jerky electropop.
And we need Beastie Boys to perform Hey Ladies and Body Movin'. Imagine that in the Festival Hall.
I think an all-star cast needs to sing the Kate Bush songbook, though I may need some suggestions as to who would do it best. I'm thinking Kathryn Williams and Mary Coughlan for starters.
Saint Etienne, those patron Saints of the Festival Hall, need to perform. I might confine them to a synths only nights, so they do all my faves like Lightning Strikes Twice, Heart Failed In the Back of a Taxi and B92.
There's no way it could happen without Laurie Anderson adding a bit of minimalist genius to the proceedings.
Le Tigre vs The Gossip, now that'd be fun!
And I know Morrissey had them at his Meltdown, but Sparks are such genius live, and I'd get them to perform all of Lil Beethoven, my favourite album of theirs.
I think that's it. I'd love it. It's maybe lacking a bit of noisy geetar action, some spoken word, but maybe in the foyer there's room for that.
Bloody hell, I'm knackered. Right, keystothecity, do your worst! Who's at your Meltdown, huh? Less electronic handclaps and orchestra hits, more banjos and viols I'm guessing...
