i guess we'll be seeing azaghal at this one.
 
 btw, how was boris in NYC last week?

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?

whoops, i didn't see this.
 
 
 I think i'll sit this one out.

[azaghal1981]

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.

Eeeeehhhhhhhh
 
 And seriously, who gives a shit about Public Enemy doing an album that I think sounds really outdated.

[Firebutt McGee]

Going.

I went the past 2 yrs and am happily passing on this one.

Thingsfallapart thinks Nation of Millions sounds dated??  I hereby retract my interest in going.  Thanks for your help.

so far the only act i'd be interested in seeing is spiritualized...

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

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.
