Robyn covers Bjork, Bjork sits with a slightly uncomfortable face a few feet away.

Bjork has an amazing amount of power behind her voice and Robyn just can’t do Hyperballad justice.

Tonight is the Tour de Stoop, in which everyone participating will arm his or herself with a six pack and a bicycle and take a tour around the northwest side visiting six stoops and having a beer on each.

SF should have stoops. We should do this anyway. Friends? Yes?

sexpigeon:

Been a bit of a bender, this weekend. Blame old friends from a more bent time who have come to town, who need liquid entertainments. Blame your new neighborhood, where just having intact pants makes you feel like you’ve got your life entirely on-track. Another drink? Certainly, yes, my clothes have only just begun to rip.

most of my pants look like this too. bikes, yup.

“General view of part of the South Water Street freight depot of the Illinois Central Railroad Chicago, Illinois, May 1943. Reproduction from color slide. Photo by Jack Delano. Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress”

this view of the Chicago skyline seems so foreign. And yes, seeing photos this old in color is a little surreal.

“

So that was that for the fifth (or sixth) Pitchfork Music Festival, and the one—and I trust you’ve gathered this by now—that I liked the least. But I do need to make one more thing very clear: The festival consistently remains the best-run, most community-oriented of any of the (conservatively) four dozen of these sorts of events that I’ve attended across the country and in Europe over the last three decades.

Pitchfork is the festival Chicago needs and deserves. So it had an off year; that doesn’t mean I’m not already looking forward to 2011. And even a mediocre Pitchfork will always be infinitely better than the soulless and corporate Walmart on the Lake known as Lollapalooza–which, as my recent reporting hopefully has made clear, is a very Chicago event in all of the worst ways, while Pitchfork continues to stand for the local music community at its best.
