About That Other Music Festival That Took Place This Weekend

Posted by on Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 5:13 PM

We weren't in Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival, but lots of other people were, so let's live vicariously through them via a carefully curated trip through YouTube. Hang on to your iPad (skinny jeans? vinyl? fedora? I can't think of any other hipster stereotypes, and they're all so funny I can't stop). This is going to be fun:

You can hear the crowd singing every word (Pavement - "Cut Your Hair"):


'Member when Modest Mouse used to be just three dudes and everyone threw a hissy fit when they started adding members? Here's reason to think they're better with more (Modest Mouse - "Tiny City Made of Ashes"):

Not much to say, I'm just jealous (LCD Soundsystem - "All My Friends"):

I think that's the same t-shirt Spencer Krug wore at their CMJ show at Bowery Ballroom in '05 (Wolf Parade - "I'll Believe in Anything"):

Us (those not in Chicago this weekend) vs. Them (those who were) (Titus Andronicus - "Titus Andronicus"):


Life, affirmed (Broken Social Scene - "World Sick"):
