Pitchfork Festival Three-Day Passes Sold Out
I didn’t realize this sold out last week the day after going on sale! Crazy. Friends, I hope some of you are still planning on getting day passes and I’m not the only one who got the three-day before it sold out.

You Were There: The Complete LCD Soundsystem
In anticipation of tonight’s livestream from LCD’s final show, here’s a ridiculously comprehensive piece on their career and a detailed writeup on each of their 43 songs. Every college house party mix I ever made included an LCD song. I love this band. I’ve seen them live three times, possibly four, I can’t quite remember.
“So “Daft Punk Is Playing at My House” is a fantasy song that juxtaposes the poorly-ventilated basement punk shows of Murphy’s past with the spotless, robot-headed superstars. (Daft Punk’s gargantuan pyramid show would debut a year and a half after this song was released, making the mental mismatch even more potent.) “I had spent so long obsessing on what was missing from indie rock that was present in dance music that I forgot what was present in indie music that was missing from house music,” Murphy said in the same interview. “I just had this idea that someone might have gone through the same epiphany with dance music and then ended up saving up to have Daft Punk to play in their basement.”“

I’m good at taking pictures of people without them realizing it, which is creepy if you think about it. Kim is good at posing next to said oblivious people.
