Logan Square Auditorium
September 8


"I think this is the first time anyone has been kicked out for moshing at a Pains of Being Pure at Heart show"

Between them, the combined p4k score for Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Cymbals Eat Guitars is 16.7. Dang, that's better than any one Beatles album! [but my math could be off...and also Rubber Soul is likely still better]

[and wow, that's an awful picture...sorry.]

Can I ask you about today?

Fucked Up was...fucked up.




The Pains of Being Pure at Heart! They played a new song, which sounded like a song that the Pains of Being Pure at Heart would perform.

Also saw Beirut for a little bit. No picture here.




and the fucking National. They played Mr. November before the encore, and it got me internally thinking something like "THEY PLAYED MR. NOVEMBER ALREADY, HOW COULD YOU PEOPLE WANT AN ENCORE?" But they played an encore anyway and closed with About Today, which was just as fucking good, I tell you what. I think they were going to play one more, but Matt went and talked to the stage people who told them to wrap it up, as it was already 10:00. Also the microphone was turned WAY up, like whoa.

Great, great set, can't wait for the new album.

One more day of Pitchfork Fest for the year. Wayne, time to put on a show.
