    So, you like the noisy stuff?

    Those are two of my favorites of theirs (along with Electr-o-Pura)!

     

    Indeed. Which is not to say I dont like the quiet/more eclectic stuff of theirs. But I definitely prefer the noise/feedback drenched guitar attacks (From A Motel 6, I Saw You Looking, etc) far, far more.

     

    Personally, "I Am Not Afraid" never grabbed me, although there are some gems there as well (such as "Hatchet")

    He might've also been bemoaning the overuse of compression on today's recordings. It's a drag for musicians to have their music fucked with like that... "optimized" for earbuds and computer speakers.

     

    I dunno if its necessarily the engineers fault. Some bands out there want that compressed sound...a prime example is the Flaming Lips most recent record. Personally I think it sounds like crap, but thats the route they seem to be taking.

    Having not seen PE in the early 90s it could be interesting, or it could be lame...hard to tell.

    Yea, aging rap acts are hard to gauge. De La Soul I though was decent last year..not mindblowing, but very solid.

     

    Now, if P4K could reuinite Pete Rock and CL Smooth to perform Mecca and The Soul Brother in its entirety, then we would be on to something.

    so im just going to throw this out there, but what do you think the possibility is of MBV doing Loveless on friday? after all, there are 2 more slots to fill..and the current MBV shows in the UK are being put on by ATP, which is whos curating the Friday shows at P4K. Not out of the realm of possibility.

    :rotfl "'Cuz it's an old show and you see, the other show broke, so they're putting on these old shows..." With the nasally, whiny kid voice...I love it!

     

    I dont know if you caught it from that dudes other videos, but he's now an animatronics programmer for Chuck E Cheese. Funny how those things work out in life.

    And three day passes were $50 and $6 service charge and sending the tickets. However, though their prices have raised, it still beats the jammed packed and overpriced Lollapoolza. I actually felt like I could breath at Pitchfork last year besides the whole mosh pit thing.

     

    Pitchfork wasnt bad, but its borderline outgrown Union Park. Either they need to cap the amount slightly less, or pick another vendor. And for the love of god, get more portapotties. Other than that, the food/ beer/ water lines were good (not to mention a 24 oz bottle of water was only $1. and you could refill it at the fountains.)

    Eff that. Those guys could dissapear into the fabric of time, and I would be happy never hearing another peep. Unfortunately they will continue to assault my senses everytime I walk into a sports arena from here on out.
