I'm still bumming about not being able to make it to Pitchfork. I had the absolute time of my life seeing SY at Lolla last year and it was only my second time seeing them live after almost fifteen years of fandom. I tried to get tickets but they had sold out the day prior to my attempts. Tried bidding on a pair on ebay after that but that fell through to. I know, I know. It's my own fault for not getting tix sooner. Seeing Yoko would have been awesome to. Especially with Thurston backing her. I had a recording session for that day though. It ended early enough that I probably could have still made it for her set but I didn't know if was worth making the trek without a ticket in hand. Oh well. I'm grateful for the youtube clips. Next best thing to being there I suppose. And somebody did just send me the entire "Trees Outside The Academy" album last night which I'm lookin' forward to delving into. Hopefully Thurston will do some sort of solo tour after it's release. That I won't miss!
