P4k Fest Highlights: Day 2

Because I had to stay at the C stage the whole day to get good pics for Beirut, I missed a lot of bands I wanted to see. I also got there a little late, and missed what I heard to be the best act so far. Apparently Plants and Animals was amazing, and all I heard throughout the day was how good their set was. Oh well. I managed to catch some solid acts, Beirut probably being my favorite of the day. They were also joined by Final Fantasy towards the end, whose set I kind of heard from across the park (did he open with a "My Body Is A Cage" cover?) Yeasayer surprised me again and turned in an energy-filled set that I was more than pleased with. And the National was, you know, the National: they were solid. Click da pic for a bigga view.

Pitchfork Festival Coverage Comin' Atcha

Well I'm off to Chicago to bring you guys (hopefully) good coverage of what I think is the festival with the best lineup this summer has to offer. Some fantastic acts are playing P4k Fest, so count on what should be day to day coverage on stuff like this:

Ok, ok. Fleet Foxes actually won't be there, but I'll take any excuse to watch that video. Anyway, all these videos are from La Blogotheque, which we all strongly suggest you visit.

I LOVE IT!!!

Ok, so anybody who is reading this has probably heard of La Blogotheque, and should know that it is absolutely fantastic. This site houses some of my favorite online videos, and one of them I would probably consider my absolute favorite. Which one you ask? Yeasayer 2080/Tightrope. This video encompasses what music is all about - getting together and making something that is fun and everybody enjoys. It is absolutely impossible not to get a rush of adrenaline when the entire room bursts out into singing, there is nothing else like it, it just makes you get up sing and dance.

Another question you may be, Why are you posting this now Ryan? Well I'll tell you why. Last night, after spending numerous hours locked in my room studying the terrible subject of biology I found myself in the shitiest of moods. I asked myslelf, what could cheer me up? I had a revelation, this video! I hope you enjoy it half as much as I do. It lifted me up like nothing else last night, and every time I watch it.
