Pretty impressive lineup.

Memorial hall is a great sounding venue too -- I saw Wilco there a few years ago and it was probably the best sounding rock show that I've ever been to.

Camera Obscura playing this would be nice too. Can we keep out fingers crossed for Neutral Milk Hotel?

Archers Of Loaf only put out 1 single on Merge and it wasn't even their first ...
why do people keep thinking they'll play this ?

The Superchunk guys are bros with the Archers guys - so its not completely out of the realm of possibility.
That one single might just be enough justification.
