Who's Going to Pitchfork?

Pitchfork's Music Festival kicks off this Friday (though the only tix left are Friday and Sunday day passes), and we'd like to know how many Nashvillians plan to drive the nearly eight hours (or fly) this weekend to catch No Age, Cut Copy, Bon Iver, Dinosaur Jr. and more. Friday night's noteworthy because three disparate acts play three rockin' records from their catalog: Public Enemy perform It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Sebadoh perform Bubble and Scrape and Mission of Burma perform Vs. Saturday and Sunday ain't bad either if you like the indie rock, if for no other reason than that it's such a manageable lineup—just looking at it doesn't give you the SXSW jitters. Lineups after the jump. Friday: Animal Collective Jarvis Cocker The Hold Steady !!! Vampire Weekend Dizzee Rascal Fleet Foxes Caribou Jay Reatard Titus Andronicus No Age Atlas Sound Extra Golden Fuck Buttons Elf Power The Ruby Suns Icy Demons A Hawk and a Hacksaw Boban i Marko Markovic Orkestar Animal Collective Saturday: Spoon Dinosaur Jr. Spiritualized M. Ward Ghostface and Raekwon Les Savy Fav The Apples in Stereo Boris Dirty Projectors Times New Viking Cut Copy Bon Iver Dodos Occidental Brothers Dance Band International King Khan & His Shrines El Guincho HEALTH High Places Mahjongg

Dino Jr + Spiritualized + M. Ward + Boris = fuckwin. I might be excited about the Apples too, but I've heard they suck live.
I won't be there.

Who said the lineup sucks? I think the lineup is pretty good, esp on Saturday. Thus my praise.

whoah big misread on my part, apologies. i'll take the apples rumor into consideration when trying to figure out what to see: Apples and King Khan play at the same time.

i think this is an excellent line up. i saw king khan and the shrines the other night and it was the most fun ive had at a show in quite a while.

Since when does one band on the bill make the line up so great Brynne? Especially at a festival this size.

You cornhole's would still be waiting for the new album by "Warrant" to come out if it wasn't for Dinosaur,and if you don't believe that you should go to the library and do some serious research.
