Pitchfork is putting together a little party this summer. Maybe you heard. Well eMusic is getting in on the act, offering 24 free MP3s of Pfork Fest artists (including Art Brut, Danielson, The National, Destroyer, Devendra, Jens Lekman and other blogger faves). Better still: advance tracks from Yo La Tengo and The Mountain Goats! Grab ‘em here. Gotta admit, that’s a pretty nasty lineup. Who are you pumped for? Silver Jews, Man Man, Os Mutantes?! That’s worth the price of admission right there.

    Man Man tears it down every time. Diplo should be fun. Hearin’ ya on the Os Mutantes. But please — will Art Brut go back to the UK for a bit? Don’t get me wrong, I love ‘em. But how many f’in times can you play a city with the same material?? Oh, and The National. That’ll be pretty awesome too.

  5. How does Art Brut fair in a more open venue? I saw them in a church basment (First Unitarian in Philly) and it was great, but I can;t imagine they translate well to an open area…

    Spoon!

  7. Shoudn’t “Free” be in quotes? Dontcha have to enter your credit card to download that shit? Not that I’m saying they’ll make you pay for the comp, but it’s probably one of those Porny-type deals where they’ll automatically start billing you later if you don’t opt out.

    But then again, I dunno. I haven’t gone beyond the “enter your credit card info” page.

    actually, it looks like if you just click the individual tracks you won’t have to enter any CC info – you can just get ‘em all one by one.

  9. Diplo hands down.

  10. Cool, I didn’t follow that first Pfork link, just the emusic link toward the end. Did everyone notice that the Mountain Goats track and YLT track are both pre-release exlcusives?

    I guess the answer to that question would be “yes”, since Amrit already explained so in the post. I’m gonna go back to sleep.

  12. Wow, sounds great. I’ll try and pick it up.

    I gotta admit that I’m tired of the shilling for emusic on every freaking blog.

  14. Sarah  |   Posted on Jun 20th, 2006

    These are free and clear MP3s…doesn’t really seem like shilling to me, more like “hey, get these free mp3s!” Which I totally appreciate, so, thanks!

  16. My life’s been bland. I’ve basically been doing nothing to speak of, but what can I say? Not that it matters. Eh. Such is life.

  17. My mind is like a fog. I’ve just been sitting around doing nothing. Today was a loss.

  18. I haven’t been up to much today. Such is life. My life’s been basically dull today, but that’s how it is.

  20. Not much on my mind right now. I haven’t been up to anything. Today was a complete loss. That’s how it is. Not much exciting going on these days.

  21. My mind is like a fog. Oh well. My life’s been really dull today. Eh. Today was a total loss. I’ve more or less been doing nothing , but I guess it doesn’t bother me.

  22. My life’s been basically boring. Not much on my mind today. I’ve just been letting everything pass me by recently, but such is life. Basically nothing seems worth bothering with, but eh. It’s not important. I’ve just been hanging out doing nothing.

  23. My mind is like a fog. Oh well. My life’s been really dull today. Eh. Today was a total loss. I’ve more or less been doing nothing , but I guess it doesn’t bother me.
