Countdown to.... PITCHFORK!

I'm heading to Chicago this weekend for the fourth year of awesomeness in Union Park!
Pitchfork Music Festival!

As I study each band I'll make notes of what I believe their sound to be like.
I'll post these notes up on the blog. If anyone has extra comments about bands I should see... please give me some feedback!

Before I post the lineup below.. I'm going to say that I'm pumped to see Animal Collective outdoors. I've seen them a couple of times indoors closed off in a packed environment. And the last time I saw them (at the Dame in Lexington) they were amazing! I am looking forward to seeing Fleet Foxes. And Spoon! And Vampire Weekend.. And M. Ward!! And Bon Iver...

And the best part is meeting the people... loading on the sunscreen.. sunhats.. water... and just being in Chicago.

Here's the lineup for Sat and Sun. (I am skipping Friday so that I can see my friends BIG FRESH play in Louisville at Headliners that night. If you are in town.. come out! and see this super fun band.)
