Pitchfork Music Festival 2018 [July 20 - 22]

it has some pretty good songs (Creature Comfort, Electric Blue) but it has others (Chemistry, Put Your Money On Me) that are objectively the worst thing that Arcade Fire have ever put out. 

It's a very average album with a massive turd (Chemistry) in the middle. I thought the singles worked better individually compared to listening to the album as a whole, but it all feels very empty. I can't remember the last time I was so disappointed by one of my all time favorites.

Generally how I feel. I've listened to it a lot still but usually skip those two songs.

I hated it. To each their own

Everything Now is pretty horrible. It’s got a few good songs on it by it was the first time I was unable to play the album through.

i enjoy Peter Pan. I can listen to Chemistry too.

Unless he's ^^^ The Festive Owl, this is where it's coming from

ugh


this is a real downgrade from last year, tame impala is the only one that's really exciting me in any capacity

mainly because A. lauryn hill, as great as her album is, has that terrible history of being incredibly late to shows if bothering to arrive at all
B. fleet foxes have been touring the same album for the past year and a half and I just caught them in charleston so there's really nothing exciting about them

i'll believe it when i see it

i'd just much rather have somebody who i know is gonna show up

and also just not fleet foxes

Isn’t the whole Lauren Hill not showing up to shows based on shit that happened 15 years ago and not at all reflective of her shows now? Or am I out of touch? I’ve heard nothing but good things the last few years but I don’t follow her closely.

She was 20 min late at Loufest I think. She also wasn’t headlining. I left 10 min into her DJ playing Kendrick songs to get a good spot for LCD

Kind of disappointed because to be honest I think Fleet Foxes’ music, while pretty, is fairly boring. But also it would be ridiculous to think something like “Damn, this fest that I love and have tons of fun at every year didn’t book this notoriously elusive shoegaze band with no new material out and no regular touring plans that I would’ve rather seen seen instead. What a crock of shit.”

She's still consistently late from what I've seen. She was over an hour late to her show at Ravinia in 2016, and was only able to fit a few songs before having to end the show due to curfew. People were pissed.

She was also at least half an hour late to her Bonnaroo set a few years ago.

Booking her for a headlining set at a festival that has a hard curfew is a gamble, no doubt.

realistic names i was hoping for 3 months ago: 
tyler the creator
lorde
RTJ
bjork maybe?
SZA
longshots: jay-z, frank ocean, or mbv
