Day two. Hotter, more crowded. Though it feels lightly attended until the half-way point. This is one of the few days in Pitchfork's last few years to not sell out. Chalk that up to the slate of acts. Some blow us away. Some drift away from our memories with a slight breeze. One has copious amounts of saxophone.

Check out reviews and photo galleries of all the acts:

Fleet Foxes
Zola Jesus
DJ Shadow
Twin Shadow
The Dismemberment Plan
The Radio Dept.
Destroyer
OFF!
Gang Gang Dance
Wild Nothing
No Age
G-Side
Cold Cave
Sun Airway
Woods
Chrissy Murderbot featuring MC Zulu

We had a great time as always, but the lineup yesterday just felt weak all around. It never got going, and then having Fleet Foxes as headliner didn't do much to leave you feeling blown away. Think about it...this year we get Fleet Foxes on Saturday...last year we had LCD Soundsystem. Anything is going to feel like a letdown after LCD. See you out there today.
