Forest of No Return: A Disney Extravaganza Starring Jarvis Cocker

/media/news/21666/3.jpg

So the Meltdown Festival kicks off this weekend in London. Curated by Jarvis Cocker of Pulp fame, artists scheduled to perform include Motorhead, the Jesus & Mary Chain, Devo, Sunn 0))), Cornershop and other mismatched weirdness. But there will also be a few special events, which Jarvis alludes to in this enticing elucidation:

By combining things that shouldn’t be combined, by looking at things from a different angle, by the use of extreme volume and frequencies, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY we shall rouse you from your slumber. And, you’re going to love it.
He’s a cheeky one, that Jarvis. What he's hinting at is a special event on Sunday called the “Forest of No Return”. The surreal description:

Jarvis teams up with the legend of the tribute concert, Hal Willner, to perform reworked versions of classic songs from Disney. Expect to hear tracks which take you back to your childhood from films such as Dumbo, Mary Poppins and Pinnochio all sung by very special guests.
Luckily someone over at Pitchfork has done the legwork for us and unearthed the guest list. Scheduled to appear are: Nick Cave, Pete Doherty (performing “Chim Chim Cher-ee”), folktronica chanteuse Beth Orton, Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music, Shane MacGowan of the Pogues, and Senegalese pop singer Baaba Maal. The score will be arranged by Beach Boys / Joanna Newsom collaborator Van Dyke Parks.

I hope this creepy classic makes the cut:
