My Thoughts on the 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival
So this is my 4th year attending the festival, and this was probably the first or second best year overall. Despite the predicted forecast of rain throughout the weekend, it only stuck around for a few hours on Saturday. After that, it was nothing but clear skies (and a lot of heat, but I can't complain).

It's been so long
I can't even remember the last time I posted on livejournal, but I'm back, if only for a little while. The Pitchfork Festival is quickly approaching and the set times were just released recently, so I'm using this space to take notes of who I want to see. Let's do it...

So yeah, if anyone cares, here is a link: Just Sing What You FeelNothing much has been going on in my life in the past week or so. I have ( Read more... ) -

Decemberists, yo!
so I saw the Decemberists once again last night. They hold the record for the band I've seen live the most times. They didn't disappoint at all last night. It was in Madison (their "home away from home") at The Orpheum, and while I don't like the venue very much due to the extremely high stage, the sound and lights kind of make up for the fact that ( Read more... )
