anyone interested in attending the pitchfork festival/visiting me this summer in chicago, take note: passes for the festival go on sale monday, and they've announced six of their 36 bands:

Mission of Burma

Ted Leo/Pharmacists

Mountain Goats

The National

Jens Lekman

Hot Machines

a decent if not blow-your-minds sort of line up, and there are still 30 slots left.

anyway, i'm going to try to snag two tickets for tommy and myself this monday. the magic futon is available for all who dare...
