yeah man, ticket purchased

3/16/2007 6:35:10 PM

God fucking dammit that is awesome.

I'm not sure I can get up there but holy shit.Just think of being drunk on a lawn ending for the night on the trinity. AGGGGGH FUCK

3/16/2007 6:59:04 PM

yeah, cool venue

i'll be interested in seeing who the 2 other artists are. I just bought a Friday ticket for now. I've done the whole festival both years but i'll wait and see what they add.

Talk about goosebumps when "Teenage Riot" opens. This album means so much to so many people, the vibe should be off the fucking charts

3/16/2007 7:01:57 PM

im going to buy tickets even if I cant go.

3/16/2007 8:48:41 PM

Holy wow.

I'm gonna have to get there, one way or another.

3/17/2007 3:01:32 AM

what's the venue?

did they get millennium park? that ampitheatre is off the chains.

3/17/2007 4:45:32 AM

union park? where the hell is that?

is it near grant park?

3/17/2007 4:48:22 AM

union park is literally just a city park that is taken over by scenesters

its kind of by the United Center, due west of the loop off the green line

3/17/2007 7:46:41 AM

didn't the pitchfork guy move to Park Slope, Brooklyn?

Im planning on moving there and I would be happy if SY decided to repeat this at Prospect Park.

PLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

ok well apparently they're playing in Berkeley and Los Angeles. I swear to God if I dont buy chicago tickets and they don't play in NYC im going to stab someone.

Sonic Youth sounds so much better indoors than outdoors. I've seen them twice in each, and something just sorta gets lost along the way in an outdoor show.

I still would go see this if anyone has the chance though

3/17/2007 3:38:15 PM

i thought all of the pitchfork operations was out of chicago

could be wrong though

3/17/2007 6:13:19 PM

the guy who started it just moved to brooklyn a few weeks ago.

3/17/2007 9:44:57 PM

well he must suck then

3/18/2007 1:49:26 AM

Fuck a Ryan Schreiber.

3/18/2007 3:56:58 AM

im moving to brooklyn soon so i'll kick him in the nuts if I see him.

3/18/2007 10:37:44 AM

Started listening to the instrumental sessions this week. Amazing stuff, too bad they are not coming anywhere near the southeast.

3/26/2007 5:45:25 PM

is this more of that indie rock i have been hearing so much about?

3/26/2007 7:12:10 PM

nah, it's post-emo noodlecore

3/26/2007 7:15:51 PM

Friday, July 13:

Sonic Youth perform Daydream Nation
GZA/Genius performs Liquid Swords
Slint perform Spiderland



LOL...so you're telling me i paid 15 bucks to see all this? Who says the cost of living is higher in Chicago. Jesus fucking christ. If only the Beatles would come play Abbey Road

4/21/2007 10:31:07 AM

i would do this if i hadn't gone last year

4/21/2007 4:43:57 PM

Slint is playing spiderland in nyc for 35 bucks

eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

4/27/2007 12:35:40 AM

reason # 9.73 billion why chicago owns nyc

4/27/2007 1:06:58 AM

are you for sale? fuck you. does fuck you sound simple enough?

4/27/2007 10:04:42 AM

^^ actually thats the only reason I can think of.

[Edited on April 27, 2007 at 11:33 AM. Reason : steve albini maybe but im not hanging out with him any time soon.]

4/27/2007 11:33:06 AM

nyc

35 bucks

i can do it

5/8/2007 2:04:37 PM

just got my tickets

also Television is playing for free in central park.

zing

5/14/2007 10:15:13 PM

saw "Spiderland" twice this weekend

outside was nice, indoors last night in a small room was a whole different fucking story

"Daydream Nation" sounded great Friday night too but it needed to be way louder

7/15/2007 2:32:25 PM

jealous

7/15/2007 2:41:09 PM

unreal.

I could have spit on Lee.



Lee did fuck up a few times during Hey Joni.

I wanted to yell. "the fuckin chords on the 5th fret there buddy!"

also the other week I went and saw Lee do this noise shit in Text of Light and I walked in and stood there for a second looking around the dark room. The guy in front of me turns around and says "you need to go through?" Well it was Lee Ranaldo and I just look at him with a dumb fuckin look and say "no im cool" and then turn around and look at my gf with a stupid grin.

8/5/2007 8:31:01 PM

oh, did slint play too?

didnt think so

8/5/2007 9:47:12 PM

the Slits did.

doesnt really count tho.

and fuuuuck you, the amount you paid in gas was more than my ticket.


oh and I saw TV on the Radio, Blond Redhead, Television, Suicide, Superchunk, Hold Steady, Apples in Stereo and Battles for free.

uppp yr ass

8/5/2007 10:15:16 PM

ooooh the hold steady

one of the worst bands probably ever

8/5/2007 10:36:55 PM

SUICIDE?!?!?!

8/5/2007 10:41:17 PM

oh man thanks for picking out the band you hated the most. Suicide and Television suck too right?

also fuck Chicago and the midwest.

whyd this thread get so angry?

is pitchfork and shitty weather all chicago has? Maybe the Blues Brothers.

[Edited on August 5, 2007 at 10:44 PM. Reason : suicide played for free, sound was shitty because it was at the seaport but none the less. ]

8/5/2007 10:41:19 PM

i like the hold steady

8/5/2007 10:48:01 PM

eeh fuck this.

Sonic Youth was awesome and sounded amazing.

8/6/2007 9:21:01 PM

8/6/2007 10:00:01 PM

8/7/2007 12:22:08 AM

OMG MY DAD LIVED IN MADISON WHEN YOU WERE A FETUS! MOGMOGMMGOGMOGMOMGOGM

people who feel entitled over others because they have lived somewhere longer is the problem with the US. I'm sorry I enjoy where I live, I will try to be more sensitive to your feelings next time I mention that I'm enjoying life.

get off your high horse and go bitch at TKE.


haha and this thread is about Chicago and I created it. You seemed pretty excited to tell everyone your proximity to the Windy City.

[Edited on August 7, 2007 at 6:41 AM. Reason : jokesta.]

8/7/2007 6:34:52 AM

i'm not going to fight with some poseur on the internet

get a life

8/7/2007 9:18:18 PM

Ive been sick and stuck in bed the last few days so im glad I kept this thread alive. I feel much better now though.

it seems you have personal issues with yourself and your own positude. Typical elitist prick.

Sorry I'm not cool enough for you.
