Every Move A Picture
w00t! w00t! w00t!
I just found out that I have a photo pass for PitchforkFest in Chicago this weekend. So. Excited. There's even a decent chance these photos might appear on a major online outlet in the near future. Sweetness!
So who else is going to PitchforkFest? Holler at me.
Before heading to Chi-town on Friday, I'm going to see Editors at the 9:30 Club on Thursday night. Back Room has garnered quite a few spins on leaftunes, and they had a great light show last time (i.e. pretty pictures), so it should be fun. And yesterday I found out local boys done good Cedars are opening the show! And they have a new EP coming out in August. They have new tracks available for streaming at their MySpace page. Check out "This Century," that might be the best thing they've ever done. It's straight fire! They better *ahem* have this in the set list on Thursday. *ahem*
But wait, I have news regarding D.C.'s other best band, my beloved Nethers. New D.C. show on August 10th and The Red & Black! And, listen up Seattle and NYC peeps, upcoming shows are coming your way.
NYC - Aug. 11th
Seaport Music Festival w/ Josh Ritter; South Street Seaport, Pier 1. This show is free.
Nethers go on at 7 pm. You were already going to this show, so go see Nethers and get a new favorite band out of this gig. You'll thank me later.
Aug. 23rd - Seattle, WA
Woodland Park Zoo w/ the Decemberists.
Nethers go on at 6 pm. Yes, you get to see my favorite band open for your favorite band. At a zoo. And no, I'm not jealous. Not at all. Thanks for asking. Hmph.
Completely not related: Republicans are pretty. And mostly white.
Will the next iPod have a none-touch interface? That would be sweet, especially if you bought one of these:
Thanks for the link Gl*mrocker!
see you saturday, yo.
I'm going, but Pitchfork told me they weren't giving bloggers passes, boo to Pitchfork!!!
I'll be the tall dude with longish blonde hair trying to snap pictures alongside you.
Catch my preview of day one at Chicagoist if you get a chance...
Dang...you're gonna be runnin' from one stage to the next! A to C. C to A, back/forth, haha...if it's anything like Coachella's expansive acreage, that'll be a lot of ground to cover.
I really liked The Walkmen live...I wonder if Leithauser will have a (quite visible) huge wad of chewing gum in his mouth singing the whole time...check out the pic on their website. Heeeeelarious.
RE: Cedars. I have a prayer I want answered: Please, G-d, let Cedars make it on a tour to the West Coast, specifically LA or SD. Thank you and I'll eat all of my lima beans.
Actually the stages are RIGHT next to each other. The crowd just sort of shuffles politely from side to side. It's actually an awesome st-up.
The only hassle is if you want to see stuff in the Biz 3 tent, but that's not really a hassle, is it?
I'm making the trip too. I will be the one not wearing an ironic t shirt.
