pitchfork music festival live update 2:8

15Jul07

It’s something to see: across the field the New Pornographers are storming through “my slow descent…” while on the second stage, de la soul’s DJ is soundchecking, ready to start up the second the NPs quit (the pornos never quite fixed those sound problems, but they soldiered on anyway). Its been like a fantasy world all weekend, one where stephen malkmus is eric clapton and the clipse are bigger than t.i.

De La’s set is starting slow and jazzy; i’ve seen de la twice before, and despite the fact that “stakes is high” is one of my favorite hip-hop albums, i’ve never loved them live. I am hopeful tonight will change my mind.

joe.
