This clusterfest is cluster-best! If they are all successful, it will cement our city as a major place for the indie (and established) rock and/or roll music. I'm happy to be the beneficiary of that.

Interesting. Thought they were still just a rumor. I've also heard Nada Surf are rumored to play Lolla.

According to their website, The New Pornographers are set for Lollapalooza.

I say let's just do it every weekend! I'll most likely be at all 3, not for every darn act, but for a good portion. The only fest with the big price tag is Lolla, and that should only work out to 30 bucks or so a day. That entertainment is all a pretty good deal, and what better way to spend a little cash than on music and beer?

I was happy to see Yo La Tengo get added to PF fest today. I saw them at the Vic-they were great. A lot louder and energetic than what I had expected. I hope they have a dj tent again this year. I'm interested to see what Intonation is going to bring to the table.

Bring on The Streets! I missed them last time they were in the states. It's about time...

Seems as though Pitchfork is doing exactly what happened last year, and that Intonation is taking the turn for something different. I mean, with WLUW/depart-Ment on board, i am sure that the experience is going to be about more than just the music. Maybe some insight as to why they are different things?? I mean, Vice calle?

I am looking forward to going to a couple of these, most likely Pitchfork and one other. As a Chicagoan and listener to WLUW, I note that Seattle's KEXP keeps digging its hooks into our local music scene, sponsoring shows for the past year or so and now sponsoring Intonation. I guess they have a lot of money to throw around and are counting on people here tuning in to their station via the web.
