why can't we have at least one festival like those in chicago?? Siren is just one day, fun but one day.

who cares the daft punk tour is official!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think im gonna cry

siren sucks lately. they get weak bands and the sound is shit. saturday looks better to me than sunday but I'll be at all 3 days. BOO YAH

Well Ryan Schrieber has moved to Brooklyn so maybe someday we too may have a Pitchfork Fesitval of our very own. I think Siren's decline might coincide with Pitchfork's decision to have a festival because they've lured all the big indie bands there.

By the way, I think BV just scooped Pitchfork's main page with news of Pitchfork's own festival.

that friday night thing, im betting it's sonic youth doing 'daydream nation.'

If Sonic Youth is doing Daydream Nation, I will walk to Chicago to see it.

great - can't wait for months and months of "news" updates about the festival. luckily pitchfork breaks it up a bit with those "chicago intern wanted" items. those are real thinkpieces...

NMH on Friday.

you can't just say "NMH" without further details. FOR REAL? I thought everyone was kidding with the JAMC reunion posts, so I'll believe anything -- be gentle.

I saw footage from last year. When they showed the crowd, it looked like someone at the station had paused the footage. Maybe their backpacks were too heavy.

If Neutral Milk Hotel plays, I am so there.

i was one of those "interns wanted" and it was sweet as hell

sonic youth is doing daydream nation but i think its for atp's barcelona festival.

slint is doing spiderland in full...

they did something similar in london last year with belle and sebastian and i think cat power.

Slowdive- Soulvaki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slowdive- Souvlaki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daft Punk is one of the ones not yet announced

also, the info on this site came from Pitchfork's own podcast, which announced this yesterday.

>>>Daft Punk is one of the ones not yet announced

bullshit.

pitchfork will never be able to afford daft punk.

Last year Pitchfork got a bunch of acts after praising their most recent breakthrough albums, (Art Brut, Tapes N Tapes, Barnhart, Etc.) if this suit is followed you might expect Menomena, Brightblack Morning Light and Deerhunter. Perhaps TV on the Radio. Now, on with the unsubstantiated rumor spreading.

Beth Gibbons hear my prayer! Portishead performing Dummy!

ATP have been doing the Don't Look Back concerts in London for a few years now. This year the bands are:

SLINT - SPIDERLAND
SONIC YOUTH - DAYDREAM NATION
HOUSE OF LOVE - FIRST CREATION LP

They've also got a Don't Look Back stage at the Primavera festival in Barcelona where the line up is:

SLINT - SPIDERLAND
COMETS ON FIRE PERFORMING BLUE CATHEDRAL
MELVINS PERFORMING HOUDINI
SONIC YOUTH - DAYDREAM NATION

So I guess any, all or none of them could be playing at Pitchfork.

there's nothing wrong with love

Ned's Atomic Dustbin reunion on the 14th..count on it.

Gray cell green!

Hey I heard Jesus Jones and EMF are playing as well. Isnt that "unbelivable"? OOOOOOOOHHHHH!
