Wow. This makes the Metallica Orion fest look relevant in comparison.

This line-up is boring - every single one of these bands has played in Chicago in recent memory. What's special about that?

With all the great stuff (Pulp, JAMC, etc) coming to TX, Coachella, the East Coast, Europe, what is Pitchfork thinking?

Pitchfork is for bros, clueless hipsters, and NPR yuppies.

Calm down, people, 40 more acts will be announced. "What is Pitchfork thinking?"--they're thinking like any sensible promoter would who plans to roll out a line-up in stages: the best and most exciting announcements will come last. Jesus Christ.
