Taking a break from their Tarot Sport(s), Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power offer their distinctively kaleidoscopic crunch to an imploded twisting of Manic Street Preachers' "Virginia State Epileptic Society," a song from the seminal Welsh band's Steve Albini and...

It'd be interesting to see how Andreas Nilsson would shift his eerie "If I Had A Heart" video to match onetime BTW Fuck Button's bouncier remix.

By Amrit Singh & Brandon Stosuy After a night of "classic" recreations, it was nice to dive into the current state of the indie landscape. Yesterday's lineup was stacked, and we spent the day scissoring back and forth catching... CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2008: SATURDAY IN PHOTOS»

One of the most inspired SXSW sets occurred at high noon on Saturday at our party with PASTE.
