Brooklyn Vegan: fire marshall shuts down DAN DEACON & GIRL TALK @ the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival
The Pitchfork Music Festival was this weekend in Chicago’s Union Park. We were there. It was fun. My brief review:

  • The weather was awesome — absolutely zero complaints
  • The non-music components of P4K are VERY well done - water (and Fuze!) were only $1 a bottle, and that was for the mega 25 oz bottle of H2O. Beers were $4, and it wasn’t your typical watered down Light beer either, it was one of three varieties of Goose Island. Giveaways were plentiful, the merchandise tents actually had merchandise that you know, you might actually buy. (If you like to collect vinyl versions of today’s best Indie Rock, you could probably find it here.
  • The people were friendly
  • There were some great performances - New Pornographers, Of Montreal, and Cat Power (even though she kept apologizing) were the most memorable
  • Union Park is super easy to get to and from

We were on the other side of a fence for the start of the Dan Deacon show, and as the link above explains, it was a little crowded (we left when we couldn’t see and the crowd started to get annoying).

The only downside of the entire fest experience? The two d-bags who forced their way into the crowd and acted like idiots during the New Porno show. I hope their hangovers were massive, causing them to get fired from their jobs today…

brooklynvegan: Largehearted Boy’s Interesting CD Releases this Week
- I’m personally most excited about St. Vincent this week. I’ll also be checking out Interpol’s new stuff. And since Spoon is available on eMusic (like St Vincent), I’m downloading that too.

brooklynvegan: VIDEO: The Besnard Lakes - ‘Disaster’ (w/ keira knightley)
- The video isn’t really by The Besnard Lakes, and it has a bit of a “I like Keira Knightley a little too much” fanboy feel to it, but the song is nice and haunting, ain’t it?
