I'm hoping to make it this year, since our corporate HQ is in Chicago.  Pretty solid line-up so far, I think.  Plus, Nation of Millions = drool.

Tickets for the 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival go on sale this Wednesday, March 12 at 12 p.m. CDT, and as always, they're quite inexpensive. Three-day passes will run you $65, two-day passes for Saturday and Sunday can be yours for $50, and individual day passes cost $30. So you can use all that extra money you're saving to buy something nice for Mom. I mean, why not?

Sadly, this Radiohead/MBV euro trip will bankrupt me so I doubt I'll be able to make this.
 
 Boris was phenominal. Much better than the Black Cat show which was excellent in and of itself. The new material (which made up roughly 3/4 of the set) translated very well live.

I'm hoping to make it this year as well. Especially after having to nix the Coachella trip. This will be much less expensive, especially since I'll have a place to shack up. w00t.

For what it's worth, I think he's right. And I was a big fan back in the day.
 
 Then again, nothing wrong with being dated. I'll take 70's porn over modern day porn. Well, you know, if I were to look at such stuff.

Jarvis Cocker, Dino Jr, and Mission of Burma are huge additions, imo. It makes me consider this.

With M. Ward already playing .. I'm sort of hoping Zooey gets added. I'm interested in seeing She & Him live.

I'll go if the third don't look back set is Loveless or Psychocandy.

Post by: Vas Deferens on March 31, 2008, 07:29:00 am
I'd go if it's the Magnetic Fields doing "The Charm of the Highway Strip" in its entirety...
 
 Mission of Burma doing VS?  That's weak. Should have been "Signals, Calls and Marches EP"...

The Fugees are reuniting to perform their legendary 1996 Album, "The Score". All Tomorrow's Parties' "Don't Look Back" series proudly presents Pitchfork
 Music Fest with the first Fugees performance in nearly 10 years.
 
 
 Very cool but not enough to sell me yet.
