http://chicagoist.com/attachments/chicagoist_tankboy/2009_05_pitchfork-music-festival.jpg We've been struggling on the best way to preview this weekend's Pitchfork Music Festival (http://www.pitchforkmusicfestival.com/). Sure, we could list out every single act and try and distill their approach in three to four sentences, but you can pretty much turn to any source for that. Plus, if you bought tickets to the mostly sold-out event, you already have a rough idea of who you want to see, and if you don't, part of the wonder that is the summer festival is provided by stumbling across and falling in love with a band you've never heard of. But we wanted to do something a little different this year, especially in light of the fest hosting a couple performances determined by fan selected set-lists.
So we're turning to you. Are you heading to the festival? And if you're not, is there a band you will particularly regret missing? This is your chance to try and sell other readers on your favorite acts, give them a little background, and nudge them in hopes they'll fall for the dame group you already adore.
Send us a short paragraph on who YOU think is a can't miss act at this weekend's Pitchfork Music Festival and we'll run the best of the bunch. Get 'em in to us by 3 p.m. CST tomorrow, July 15, and we'll run our reader's picks on Thursday ... giving the rest of y'all enough time to adjust your festival viewing schedule accordingly.
