Pavement Pissed at Pitchfork?
(Christopher Smith, RedEye)
This weekends Pitchfork Festival was a huge success, but did anyone notice Pitchfork wasn’t filmed? Apparently a certain member of the band isn’t completely thrilled with the online zine because of past articles written about the band. However, Pitchfork humbly and politely responded with the following: “We were thrilled to be able to showcase so many of the performances throughout the weekend on the festival webcast, but ultimately, we were focused on every one of these great acts playing their best show possible for the festival’s attendees. For those acts that chose not to participate in the webcast, we were of course disappointed that its viewers did not have the opportunity to watch their set. That said, we very much respect the wishes and decisions of all the acts that play our festival.”
Us AEMMPers were at Pitchfork and the big screens were one of the best parts of the festival! Hopefully, some kind soul grabbed their camera and you can find the videos on youtube!
