ATP New York 2010: We here at Festival Watch wouldn't throw a curatorial appointment to one of the All Tomorrow's Parties out of bed. Hmmm…right now, we'd do Bjork , ESG , J.D.

Instead, New York-bound ATPers will have to settle for Jim Jarmusch . His line-up include Raekwon , Girls , Dungen , Vivian Girls , and, just announced : some crazy Sunn0))) and Boris collaboration. Intense!
