  Kyle_Ryan: OK, only hearing stuttering bits of what I think is "Yoshimi" part 1. Hmm, here is where my pitchfork.tv experiment ends, I think #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 09:40 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Coyne thanks #pitchfork for "being the monitor of all things worthy of attention," adding that even the food "is fucking top-notch!"
  July 19, 2009 09:30 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: The deep cuts Coyne & Co. are supposedly rocking are lost on me, the casual Lips fan. I want the hits! #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 09:27 PM

  July 19, 2009 09:14 PM

  July 19, 2009 09:07 PM

  July 19, 2009 09:06 PM
•

  July 19, 2009 09:00 PM

  July 19, 2009 09:00 PM

  July 19, 2009 08:44 PM

  July 19, 2009 08:15 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: We parked in front of the HQ for hardcore/emo label Victory Records, whose Tony Victory undoubtedly scoffs @ the #pitchfork fest
  July 19, 2009 08:15 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: @marahe you're not a jerk; you're my kind of person. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 08:04 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Idea: Make the last day end at like 7. That sounds reasonable, no? #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 08:01 PM
• 
  marahe: Go ahead and call me a jerk but watching f. lips set up is more interesting than grizzly bear's set. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 07:59 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: #pitchfork has never closed out with a band I really want to see.
  July 19, 2009 07:58 PM

  steveheisler: Okay the pure guitar stuff is pretty dang good #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 07:44 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Grizzly Bear & Flaming Lips, or rest before the week's deluge? The call's getting tougher to make #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 07:41 PM
• 
  joshmodell: I'm taking off, but you were a fantastic festival, #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 07:39 PM

  July 19, 2009 07:36 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: Waiting for @kyleryan's disparaging tweet about Grizzly Bear's simultaneous use of a flute and autoharp. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 07:36 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: I'm not sure Grizzly Bear is a good festival band. Or a good band for that matter. OK, they do their thing well, but zzzzzzz #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 07:33 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Ok any minute now #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 07:31 PM

  July 19, 2009 07:27 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: I think I'm the only Chicago AV Club staffer excited for the Grizzly Bear show. So far it's good, too. #pitchfork

  July 19, 2009 07:13 PM

  Kyle_Ryan: @GenevieveKoski We can't really make out any of the vocals. Maybe it's for the best! #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 07:02 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: Vivian Girls: bust. bummer. like em on record, but can't handle the whining live. Bailing for M83 and ice cream. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 06:48 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: The members of Vivian Girls are pounding a bottle of wine before they start. Good sign! #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 06:38 PM
• 
  marahe: Just used a port-a-potty that was clearly hotboxed by the guy before me. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 06:38 PM

  steveheisler: Girl in M83 rocking the keyboard laptop... And what appears to be a zorro mask painted on. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 06:35 PM
•

  July 19, 2009 06:35 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: On the way over to see Vivian Girls, we spot a guy rocking a black-leather miniskirt with a tshirt for X's Los Angeles. Naturally.#pitchfork

• 
  joshmodell: M83 drummer is in the popemobile. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 06:29 PM

  July 19, 2009 06:28 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Sank you #pitchfork for supporting zee band for so long. Oui, m83!!!
  July 19, 2009 06:26 PM
• 
  marahe: There are some really really excited thrashing fans in the front row for m83. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 06:24 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: Legs seen sitting on the ground at #pitchfork: fishnets paired w/ soccer shorts, guy w/ a dancing Calvin + Hobbes tattoo.
  July 19, 2009 06:21 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: Japandroids turning in a great set, but a beer-and-burger coma is setting in. Hoping Vivian Girls can stave off festival fatigue. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 06:17 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: #pitchfork fest: where the last ironic-mullet holdout can roam free, unmolested. And that's a damn shame.
  July 19, 2009 06:07 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: Before I forget: #pitchfork has once again put together a terrific fest. Cool line up, relaxed atmosphere. Thanks, guys.
  July 19, 2009 05:58 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: Really like the Watchmen but this #pitchfork set has entered the sleepy portion.
  July 19, 2009 05:57 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: Japandroids have a thing for white tube socks. And also for kicking ass. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 05:50 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Grizzly bear dudes are watching the walkmen, maybe they'll learn to rock! #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 05:45 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: Due to short set time and long sound check, Japandroids say there won't be much banter. "but trust us it's funny." #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 05:42 PM
• 
  joshmodell: And here come the amateur horns. Awesome. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 05:35 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Oh damn Walkmen just busted out the triangle. This shit is off the chizzie #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 05:31 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: Dear Walkmen crowd member at #pitchfork currently blowing smoke my way: I hate you.
  July 19, 2009 05:18 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Now, The Walkmen. I'll be sitting on the nearby baseball diamond bench & listening passively. Superfan @joshmodell has us covered.#pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 05:08 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Oh-way-oh-eh-whoa-oh: "Now We Can See" is #pitchfork fest's definitive singalong jam. The Thermals finish strong.
  July 19, 2009 05:03 PM
• 
  davidwolinsky: The Thermals keeps the flashback rolling with Green Day. Fingers crossed for "Pretty Fly For A White Guy." #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 05:02 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Now it's a cover of Green Day's "Basket Case." If you think the crowd wouldn't sing along like crazy, you're wrong. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:52 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Every generation thinks it invented crowd surfing. Everyone knows it was the Finnish, circa 1802. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:48 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: "Here's Your Future" always slays, all the time. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:43 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: That should be "Thermals dude" for the record. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:43 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Weird, now it's a Breeders cover. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:41 PM
• 
  davidwolinsky: Sonic Youth and Nirvana covers from The Thermals in a span of 20 minutes? I miss the 90s. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:41 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Thermals set is hold weird shit in the air time: gumby, tinfoil hat, stuffed bunny head. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:39 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Okay, thermals doing nirvana is pretty great. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:30 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Thermals started with sonic youth's "100%" but now they're playing some good songs. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:21 PM
• 
  marahe: Walkmen mix is horrible from out front. Bad garage band horrible. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:14 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: You know who always brings it? The Thermals. They open with a cover of Sonic Youth's "100 Percent." #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:14 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: Monch. Yep, that worked. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:11 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Srsly Chicago, you better get the fuck up. He's not gonna tell you again. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:09 PM
• 
  marahe: Right after the hype man claims he can't swear because kids are here they launch into the 'get the fuck up' song. Oopies. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:07 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: "simon says" encore. And the crowd goes wild. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 04:07 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: #pitchfork artists who aren't bringing it like Monch, Matt&Kim, The National, etc should be embarrassed.
  July 19, 2009 04:01 PM
• 
  marahe: Great Roy ayers 'everybody loves the sunshine' samples too. This pharoahe monch set is bitchin'. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:56 PM
• 
  davidwolinsky: Way underdressed for today. Dude in a banana costume is tearing it up for Sharoah Monche. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:54 PM
• 
  marahe: Also calling out to dilla while using his beats. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:54 PM
• 
  marahe: Monch just asked if there are any michael Jackson fans out there. Preachin' to the choir, but nice all the same. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:50 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Monch looks like a cross between Boots Riley of The Coup & Charles DeMar from Better Off Dead. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:50 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: "Oh No" is giving me serious college flashbacks. #pitchfork. P. Monch is killin it!
  July 19, 2009 03:48 PM
• 
  marahe: Rumor is the flaming lips had a $5000 budget in their contract for confetti. Don't want to be the one who has to clean that up. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:40 PM
• 
  emilywithrow: Also watching random people cut hair of dude wearing sign that says 'cut my hair.' Press like him. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:37 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: Pharoahe monche's backup singers are great. Almost as great as him. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:32 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Only 2 songs in & Monch has more than made up for Doom.#pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:30 PM
• 
  emilywithrow: Already taken in by Pharoahe Monch... Therefore abandoning Women. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:30 PM
• 
  joshmodell: I haven't seen this many white fists in the air since... (insert joke) #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:29 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Pharoahe Monch is already way more enthused than Doom #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:26 PM
• 
  joshmodell: In the backstage fieldhouse, the walkmen are rehearsing some local horn players. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:24 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: @kphipps3000 yup! #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:18 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Pharoahe Monch dj hilarious. "what's up left side. I don't have any weed today but it's cool" #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:18 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Waiting for Pharoahe Monch & hoping he makes up for Doom's crappy, lip-synchy, phoned in set yesterday. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:17 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: Just noticed all the Blitzen snark among my colleagues at #pitchfork. Am _I_ really the pro-hippie wing of the AV Club?
  July 19, 2009 03:08 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Just in case you had doubts about Blitzen Trappers hippyness, there are plenty of hacky sackers here. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:07 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Blitzen trapper are super far away, like as far away as 1974. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 03:02 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: Showed up at #pitchfork just as Blitzen Trapper was playing "Furrz," which I love.
  July 19, 2009 03:01 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: Looking forward to Pharoah Monch. Hoping he makes up for yeaterday's disappointing Doom set. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:58 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: OK 2: Some kind of Wookiee/Sasquatch hybrid drums for Blitzen Trapper. (That's it!) #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:58 PM
• 
  emilywithrow: Unmotivated to stand & watch Blitzen Trapper. Next! #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:56 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: OK maybe 1: "Blitz" doesn't belong in this group's name. To be fair, they are more lively on stage than record. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:50 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Today's vow: I won't make snide comments about boring easy-listening bands Blitzen Trapper & Grizzly Bear. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:47 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: Volunteers blowing up dozens of giant balloons. Gee, wonder what band those are for? #pitchfork
  
  
  July 19, 2009 02:45 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Ok Nevermind. Here it is #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:21 PM
• 
  marahe: A big orange lighting rig is already set up on the 'a' stage, ostensibly for the flaming lips. Exciting! #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:20 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Got "the greys" instead. Still good. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:17 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Starting to wonder if Frightened Rabbit is gonna play older songs. Here's hoping for "square nine" #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:13 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Suns out and f rabbit is doing the twist. That's a good combo. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:10 PM
• 
  marahe: Makers of real and fake wayfarer sunglasses must be really proud of their wares when they look at the prevalence here. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:08 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Dear Recent Past Kyle, how were you unmoved by that Frightened Rabbit record? They're killing it here. xxoo, Present Kyle #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 02:03 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Somebody get this guy a Halls! #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 01:58 PM
• 
  kphipps3000: Still confused about the whole White Rabbits/Frightened Rabbit issue, I've been slow getting to #pitchfork today. Soon...
  July 19, 2009 01:57 PM
• 
  steveheisler: They're trying to start a "that thing you do" clap for "old fashioned" but might be too early for that too #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 01:56 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: Though I could use subtitles to decipher their brogue during between song banter. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 01:55 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: I've been surrounded by Frightened Rabbit superfans all weekend & now I know why. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 01:54 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Opene with "modern leper", though clearly too early for the high notes #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 01:50 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: Frightened rabbit takes the stage and the sun comes out in 30 seconds. Good omen. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 01:48 PM
• 
  joshmodell: Here, waiting for frightened rabbit. Who are awesome. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 01:44 PM
• 
  steveheisler: Frightened Rabbit = wake and bake central #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 01:41 PM
• 
  Kyle_Ryan: The Mae Shi wraps up their final show with all members taking big bow. I never paid much attention, but crowd seems appreciative. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 01:41 PM
• 
  steveheisler: "slow show" perfect pre #pitchfork tune on my iPod. The national killed it yesterday. Hauntingly great show
  July 19, 2009 12:40 PM
• 
  GenevieveKoski: Bracing for a jam-packed day at #pitchfork with a BLT and Bloody Mary.
  July 19, 2009 12:38 PM
• 
  emilywithrow: Timing my arrival to start the day with Blitzen Trapper. Main dilemma for me today: M83 v Vivian Girls. Until then, coffee. #pitchfork
  July 19, 2009 12:19 PM

  Kyle_Ryan: I deem the final day of #pitchfork fest Hangover Sunday. Today's plan: Arrive in time for Frightened Rabbit's set @ 1:45.
