The experimental music community, for the win: JG Thirlwell, aka Foetus, has curated the entire month of September at improv/jazz innovator John Zorn's NYC club, the Stone. The calendar is so stuffed with awesome artists that Carla Bozulich and Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes have already played, and yet the lineup's power has barely been dented.

Among those still to come at the Stone in September are Thurston Moore (with his Northampton Wools duo), Mercury Rev, Andrew WK (performing "piano improvisations"), Matmos, John Zorn himself, Michael Gira of Swans/Angels of Light, Yeah Yeah Yeahs drummer Brian Chase, Tony Conrad, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Skeleton Key's Erik Sanko performing with Doveman's Thomas Bartlett, Aa, Thirlwell's own Manorexia ensemble, Zs, Bridget St. John, David Grubbs, Petra Haden and Yuka Honda, and USAisamonster.

A full list of the Stone's events this month is after the jump.
