happy pitchfork day
21Jun07
Sixteen SEVENTEEN songs, all of them great, and all of them totally free. That’s right, it’s time for the second annual Pitchfork Music Festival Sampler. Tracks by Dan Deacon, Professor Murder, Of Montreal, Menomena, William Parker, Grizzly Bear and on and on. All songs were chosen by Pitchfork and were subsequently sequenced by us (which is why I’ve been so quiet on 17 Dots this week). It’s a killer compilation — for reals — and I’m even more pumped now for the festival than I was before. Also, head here for a hub page featuring all of the albums from which the free tracks came.
UPDATE: Last minute Battles track comes through. Up to 17 songs now!

hey man — i will be in chicago for the festival. still ironing out the details, but i will be “around.” we should see how many emu folks will be.
uh huh - i’m late in trying to get tix and they are sold out for the friday event. this is where i’d insert one of those right-headed emoticons powered by porieux 2.0 if i knew anything about dejected html. i think there are a few folks who commented about the event in the “slint? chicago? july 13?” thread on the boards.
but i’m not far away so give me a heads up and we’ll clink a couple beers.
friday is probably the only day i can get free as i’ve recently begun my practice as a neurosurgeon and you know how the n00bies get the graveyard weekend shifts.
