I would also book Negativland and Team Brick for humorous weirdness. Philip Glass. The new Scottish band: Vars of Litchi. Scorn - to burst eardrums. Wesley Willis. Black Moth Super Rainbow. And for a headliner, I would like Graeme Revell, Nurse With Wound and DDAA doing their Songs of Adolf Wolfli set (and some of their own stuff).
