That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate

I attended the Pitchfork Music Festival yesterday.

Mostly I went to see Mission of Burma, but I was pleased that I arrived just in time to see Jens Lekman perform.

I was happy to hear Mission of Burma play some of the 'ol favorites like Academy Fight Song and That's When I Reach for My Revolver. Although I seemed to be the only audience member singing along to the new stuff.

I only stayed long enough to see the top of Glenn Kotche's head as he accompanied himself on a drum kit with loops and feedback. Also, I think he scratched a wire across a microphone to make noises, but I'm not entirely sure since, as I mentioned, I could only see the top of his head.
