Pitchfork Music Festival

In David's absence, I feel the need to post something Pavement-related. Stephen Malkmus is performing at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. Also, GZA the Genius is performing the album, Liquid Swords all the way through. Finally, Sonic Youth is doing the same with their album, Daydream Nation.

GB: I'm getting the album in the mail tomorrow.

Bad Music Week

Last week suck plain and simple. First of all Mr. Randolph bailed on us to go to fat city USA (Milwaaaaaaaaaaaaukkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee) but it turns out the week was even worse. One of my favorite bands Raccoo-oo-oon were in New England for not one, but five shows, and I didn't find out about it till today (but it's ok because the only show in Boston was cancelled). Oh and as if last week couldn't get any worse Method Man was busted with 28 grams of pot (about an ounce).

Bumbershoot '07

Just a notice about Bumbershoot (Seattle: September 1-3):
Wu-Tang Clan, Gogol Bordello, and DeVotchKa are confirmed.
It's definitely not worth going to though. Many terrible bands are playing and after all, it's in Seattle.
