Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 That is quite the lineup. I'd go, if I were in the area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 I'd enjoy finding out who turned the show down. Arcade Fire had to have been asked to attend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 I'm in the area. Would anyone like me to commit an act of terrorism on behalf of everyone who can't stand Pitchfork? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 I like---->love seven of those acts (not counting Will Oldham, since he's only doing a dj set). I'd consider going, if I lived in Chicago; my feelings on the webzine holding it are completely irrelevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IllustriousOne 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 I dig the majority of the groups on that list (also not counting Will Oldham, but if you get a chance to see him live, do it) and I think a couple friends of mine and I are going to try and go to this event. DFA? Xiu Xiu? Fuck yeah. Oh yeah, I'm also pretty sure I heard the Fiery Furnaces were gonna be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 Not a big Xiu Xiu fan either. However, If I lived in Chicago and wasn't stuck here in Southern Ohio, I'd go immediatly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 Xiu Xiu has one song I really like—"Apistat Commander"—and a bunch I really don't like. I might've enjoyed their take on "Ceremony," but after Galaxie 500's version, why bother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
