* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (un)fortunately seem to hold true. I wish I was creative enough to write a proper review, but I've failed miserably in the past. Here's the next best thing, I hope.

Pitchfork Fest 2008 Day 3

Welp, Day 3 of Pitchfork Fest was solid, probably even a little better than Day 2, minus the heat. I caught full sets from Dirty Projectors, HEALTH, The Dodos, and Bon Iver, which I must say were pretty fantastic. I also caught the majority of High Places, The Apples In Stereo, M. Ward, Ghostface Killah & Raekwon, and Spoon, along with Les Savy Fav and Times New Viking via the jumbo-tron. All of course were sweet. I am, however, a little bummed I missed King Khan and that Cut Copy were late, but what are you going to do. Here are a few pictures from the festivities, along with my final thoughts.


Dirty Projectors







High Places





HEALTH





The Apples In Stereo

Final Thoughts

New Discovery: High Places
Most Anticipated: Fleet Foxes
