Derek @derek@linernotes.club

so Derekfest would be:

Air
Tatsuro Yamashita
Los Lobos
The Clientele
Outkast

now I need a big-ticket ground-destroying closer, and we're going with Outkast, baby

my indulgent pick here would be The Clientele as the sun sets, their music is very very crepuscular

Los Lobos in the late afternoon, let's go

sun's out, time to pick it up a bit but I still want to keep it breezy, early afternoon set goes to Tatsuro Yamashita

I want something pretty chill to start off, so let's slot in Air at 11am, with a full performance of Moon Safari sandwiched between two mini-sets

to make it easier for me, I will be electing to fill my festival with artists and bands that are alive if not necessarily together

the idea being you get a mellow act to play your opening 11am set, a couple of mellow/fun bands in the day, one sunset set, and the big fuck-off late-night spectacular

heard this prompt on a podcast, and I would like to share it here: you have a one-day music festival to curate, which five musical acts living or dead do you get?

just pretend your favourite album won

I think I've got a bit of bowl burnout so we're going to press pause on the #AlbumBowl for this week

we don't talk enough about how much Lyle Lovett whips

this is going to be a fucking massacre #AlbumBowl
