steviex2shoes Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I know the stigma that comes with Pitchfork, and I can't say I love them. But figured I'd see if anyone was going to the festival this weekend? I always look forward to the record fair and Flatstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedavidescapeplan Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I went to one of the days last year and it was a killer time. I was considering going but decided to go see Cap'n Jazz, and possibly Tigers Jaw, instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them open for Lucero a while back and was blown away. They are a killer live band and the new record is near perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 I went to one of the days last year and it was a killer time. I was considering going but decided to go see Cap'n Jazz, and possibly Tigers Jaw, instead. I've been contemplating leaving a little early on sunday and try and catch Tigers Jaw, but I guess that depends on the group I'm with what they want to do. I'm kind of interested to see how the Comedy is going to be tomorrow night, its seems like a pretty cool addition. I'm not super excited about all the days but I always seem to enjoy the fest its fairly relaxed as opposed to like Lollapalooza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Band Of Horses show is $26 on its own, man that might be something to look into next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really like to see Tigers Jaw, but the other bands are all decent to good so it would be worth the $8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mygreatdevastator Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Headed to Chicago now for Cap'n Jazz, about to get to Niagara actually.

steviex2shoes Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 pitchfork grabs some good bands to play the festival. how is the record convention? Its fairly decent, you've got a few people selling older records, and a bunch of labels, like sub pop, hometapes, polyvinyl, thrill jockey and tons more. Then you've got Music Direct which is has all new sealed vinyl. Prices are pretty decent too. I picked up Weezer - The Blue Album for $15, Radiohead - Kid A for $18, and Violent Femmes - S/t for $15. I'm tempted to go back today, they had () by Sigur Ros for only $20, think they had 2 copies left when i was looking yesterday. Other than that I picked up Bon Iver - For Emma($12) and Postal Service - Give Up for $14. So I got a decent haul yesterday my friend grabbed like 10 records and spent like $110 or something. I enjoyed it quite a bit, Flatstock was looking good as well, although some people didn't have all their stuff out when we walked through. Oh yeah, and if you're going you should stop by the Toyota Antics thing on the tennis courts and fill out a card to win a Prius you get a decent sized handbag that they screenprint 1 of like 4 designs and its the perfect size for Lp's.
