This is our final update on the Pitchfork 2K9 schedule, barring any last second changes. Our previous update was missing a lot of these bands, plus the time schedule and stages weren’t listed yet. This should be the final lineup (*Updates are in bold):
The concert takes place on July 17th – July 19th in Chicago’s Union Park. They’ve added some great bands, The Thermals, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Beirut… this has shaped up to be an amazing event. At this point, tickets for Sunday are SOLD OUT. So are two-day passes. There are limited tickets left for Friday and Saturday so if you still wanna be one of the cool kids, get tix here. More info here.
This has been a fun-filled week of video games so far, and being that VIDEO GAMES LIVE is happening in LA tonight (get soothed by melodic sounds of Final Fantasy, Zelda, Halo, WoW and Tetris… yes Tetris), let’s just nerd the fuck out. Someone mapped Super Mario graphics onto Conan’s strange mushroom-kingdom-ish backdrop…and general consensus is…it’s a hell of a lot better that way. So, folks at the Tonight Show take heed and whip up something all colorful for us.
“I decided to show everyone just what I imagined was happening when these little blocky, pixelized abstractions did when they came into contact with eachother, but in a much more visceral, and gory way than could ever be shown with limited graphical systems.”
