New Animal Collective - "Lion In A Coma" (Live)

Weaving through the thousands swarming the A stage to dive into the photo pit for Animal Collective's headlining set at P4K Fest this weekend was trippy; not because AC drew thousands to their set (seen it before), but because it...  CONTINUE READING NEW ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - "LION IN A COMA" (LIVE)»

Pitchfork Music Festival 2008: The Supreme Genius Of King Khan

By Amrit Singh and Brandon Stosuy There may have been bands with better songs or tighter chops, but the most impressive all-around performer of the weekend was King Khan ... because he never stopped performing. The Canadian/German-based garage rocker...  CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2008: THE SUPREME GENIUS OF KING KHAN»

Pitchfork Music Festival 2008: Saturday In Photos

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»

Pitchfork Music Festival 2008: Public Enemy's It Takes A Nation Of Millions... Will Not Be Overshadowed, Not Even By Flavor Flav

"Cut for cut, track for track ... It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back." Even the most basic statements of fact come from Chuck D as poetry, with the right rhythm, at the perfect pitch. It's...  CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2008: PUBLIC ENEMY'S IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS... WILL NOT BE OVERSHADOWED, NOT EVEN BY FLAVOR FLAV»

Pitchfork Music Festival 2008: Mission Of Burma And Sebadoh Look Back

Sparks Plus was flying the first night of the Pitchfork Music Festival. The promised thunderstorms never materialized, though the clouds remained generally ominous throughout, and we got soaked en route to the grounds. (Well, I got soaked.

Pitchfork Music Festival Is This Weekend And Should Be Pretty Great

When we arrive at a concert fest's gates, we'll usually publish a Sets To See post, separating the wheat from the Jack Johnson. With Pitchfork's annual Music Festival, though, that's a waste. Just see everything. Last year it was Slint...  CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL IS THIS WEEKEND AND SHOULD BE PRETTY GREAT»

Dan Deacon/Deerhunter @ A Warehouse In Chicago 7/16/07 (& Pitchfork Festival Pics)

Still tired from our Chicago trip this weekend, and really it's all this 2AM show's fault. Word floated through the Pitchfork Festival on Sunday that a warehouse at Wolcott and Walnut (mnemonic device of the day: "Think 'Wall' ... then...  CONTINUE READING DAN DEACON/DEERHUNTER @ A WAREHOUSE IN CHICAGO 7/16/07 (& PITCHFORK FESTIVAL PICS)»

Pitchfork Music Festival 2007 [Sunday; 7/15] Rating: 6.2

Wouldn't be a series of Pitchfork scores without at least one bearing little-to-no relation to the verbiage that followed, right? Well, day last of this year's P4K party in Union Park was another fine one, bringing two more mind-bending...  CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2007 [SUNDAY; 7/15] RATING: 6.2»

Dan Deacon Talks Videogames, Rice Krispie Treats, Garnier Fructus

In one of the best interviews we've read in the past three hours, Ignore Magazine asks Baltimore's hottest future shocker a bunch of brilliantly dumb questions.

Pitchfork Music Festival 2007 [Saturday; 7/14] Rating: 8.1

No classic albums played in their entirety, but any fest day during which your mind is blown thrice is indeed a good fest day. As noted, there's a hipster agenda at play at Pitchfork Music Festival (duh), but the...  CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2007 [SATURDAY; 7/14] RATING: 8.1»

Pitchfork Music Festival 2007: Mastodon

Not sure that anybody commanded a bigger crowd than Mastodon on Saturday. This band is huge. (Seriously, it's more than just Pitchfork readers that love them.) In that sense, it's amazing the Atlanta metal outfit is even playing this weekend...  CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2007: MASTODON»

Pitchfork Music Festival 2007: Clipse Are Trill

"I know you have a peaceful event here and all..." Pusha-T said a few tracks into the Clipse's day-stealing set -- and a few minutes later, it was a crowd of thousands hollering back "ka-ka-kat-kat" in joyous gunshot unison.

Pitchfork Music Festival 2007: Battles Unite And Conquer The Connector Stage

Day two brought the heaviness. Could be the warmer temps, or the hangover, but everything we craved on Saturday -- aggression, adrenaline, pulverizing energy -- came tidily wrapped up in Warp groove-mutants Battles and their alien, conceptual mindfuck maelstrom.

Pitchfork Music Festival 2007 [Friday; 7/13] Rating: 8.7

There's a vague subtext of "Us and Them" at most concert festivals: like, you know more than half the folks you brush elbows with at Bonnaroo have never heard of the Hold Steady, and most definitely will not be dancing...  CONTINUE READING PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2007 [FRIDAY; 7/13] RATING: 8.7»
