WBEZ 91.5 Chicago

We're not sure exactly how we booked an interview with Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips, but around 5:45 on Sunday evening Justin, Carrie and I found ourselves in a trailer by the Union Park fieldhouse waiting to do just that. Wayne was a great interview, but a long one.

Reading the reports on The Flaming Lips' set at Pitchfork Fest it sounds like their set was a magical, joyous event. By no fault of the band or the festival organizers, that was not my experience at all. As I mentioned before, I spent much of my time in the photo pit at Pitchfork.

In the Pitchfork Fest press tent we were able to catch up to the band The Dutchess and the Duke, who were upset at our Council of Hipsters for their judgement (they lost). We wanted to get them for our Wikipedia Files segment to make amends, but quickly realized they don't have a Wikipedia page.

This weekend I was lucky enough to have a photo pass for Pitchfork Fest. That means that for the first three songs of any set you can go between the stage and the barricade holding back the most rabid fans.
