Yes, although in a brooding, understated kind of style. Drummers awesome as well. Last two albums are very good IMO.

Mistaken for Strangers
Apartment Story
Brainy

I'll have to listen when I get home.

Not at all in your definition of the term.

I WANT DAVID YOW TO PLAY THE EAST COAST.

Ha yea, Im not sure if its EMPs cup o tea. Not nearly violent or demonic enough.

I'm in a rock band and we're not violent or demonic. Pretty goddamn loud, though. Are The NAtional loud? Rock riffs?

It's not folky is it?

I think Emp would define rock band as 'a band that rocks.' Whereas others would define rock band as 'music that has guitars and drums.'

Yea, thats pretty much my definition. Where would you classify them, Hilbert?

Oh, other indications are Tortoise and Built to Spill along with YLT and Jesus Lizard on Friday. It sounds like it will be a listener-request sets for those 4.

How can a rock band be a band that 'does not rock'? This does not compute.

I haven't been to Pitchfork in a coupla years. So, isn't Friday night usually reserved for the ATP selections?

Man, Friday night is going to rule.

The National? I've only heard a bit, but it seems to fit squarely into moody chamber pop -- aspects of Tindersticks and Leonard Cohen, but maybe not as dark.

That's an amazing lineup. Why don't I live in Chicago?

I'm in agreeance. The National does not rock.

And neither does Coldplay, but that didn't stop them from winning a Grammy for Best Rock Album.

Leonard Cohen and/or The Tindersticks most definitely do not rock. Good? Yes. Rock? No.

I ain't disagreeing with you, pops.

Make sure Brado videos this? Thnx.

Starting Line-up

Friday night will be the night. And it's all requests!

To sum it all up:

Jesus Lizard will be playing all of Goat

Yo La Tengo will be playing all of I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One

Tortoise will be playing all of Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Built to Spill we be playing all of Perfect From Now On

LOL

In all seriousness, Friday looks like the pyjammy-jam. I don't see how Saturday night and SUnday night can compare.

September 22. Dublin.

Me = a gibbering wreck.

This sentiment was made prior to my knowledge of the Lips capping off Pitchfork. I've seen the Lips probably more than I've seen any other band, and I'm more than a little embarrassed to admit that I've never seen the almighty Jesus Lizard. Wayne better polish up on his tight&shiny routine.

Licky, who is supporting tJL in Dublin. Do you know already? I'm excited for you.
