I saw your post, just saying I don't think she played the Riv twice. But I totally forgot about the, er, Rav!

(because they are a snooze)
Have you ever seen Belle and Sebastian live?
I'm excited about these headliners b/c I'm guessing they'll all be really great *entertainers* in a live festival setting. More so, for instance, than Animal Collective or Vampire Weekend or the National.

brent dicrescenzo @bdicrescenzoR Kelly plays Chicago like 4 times a year. You could have gone to see him if you cared in a non-ironic fashion.

B&S's most recent appearance was at the 3,600 capacity Chicago Theater (they played the Riv in 2006).
In 2003 they headlined the Congress, which is about the same capacity as the Chicago Theater.

no. i don't like them.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 1 February 2013 22:20 (eleven years ago) link
I think the big dif from Feist is that B&S have fans who would fly to see them. Maybe Bjork, too, if she is not doing an extensive tour, but B&S for sure. They really don't play much.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 1 February 2013 22:21 (eleven years ago) link
The fact that B&S aren't supporting an album is probably best for everyone. Going to a B&S concert is basically wishing they play as many mid-90s songs as possible.
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 1 February 2013 22:22 (eleven years ago) link
eh they could be supporting an album by the summer

Fingers crossed no!
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 1 February 2013 22:26 (eleven years ago) link
I guess my point is that their live show is much more razzle-dazzle than you might expect. (Especially if your idea of them is rooted in the twee/amateurish stylings of their early material.)

i'd be interested in seeing video of belle + sebastian at p4k. when i saw them (battery park) they were pretty snoozy i thought. but they played some songs i liked and it was nice to sit in a park.

B&S are the ultimate "nice to sit in the park" act. R. Kelly is not, so it will be funny watching perform for people sitting in a park.

Great pitchfork fest indie shit 2013 keep on keepin luv indie
― buzza, Saturday, 2 February 2013 03:47 (eleven years ago) link
I've seen R. Kelly two, maybe three times, and he's been not so hot every time. One of those cats, sort of like current Prince, who wastes a lot of oxygen boasting that he's going to play all his hits, and then does just that ... in a ten minute medley. And then he sings a song about a majestic eagle bringing the troops home or something. But I know folks who have seen him focused, too, so who knows what the Chicago summer night will bring out of him. I'm trying to think if he's ever played a large, open-air sort of fest locally. Certainly the folks at the Union Park pool will have an awesome nightswim soundtrack.

Maybe I'm just slow on the uptake, but when did Pitchfork introduce the ability to look up reviews and articles by staff? Is this relatively new?
― MarkoP, Thursday, 14 February 2013 18:25 (eleven years ago) link
Noticed that only recently too so I assume it's somewhat new. Pretty nifty.

I'm sorry, when did it become common practice to switch 'release' with 'share'? It really annoys me. I understand if an artist is 'sharing' a video....cos the video is online and they are sharing a link. But sharing a record or a CD? That doesn't make any sense. It just sounds so stupid, and so much like some weak blog-age marketing lingo.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 20 February 2013 15:27 (eleven years ago) link
What did they refer to a record "share date" or something?
― Evan, Wednesday, 20 February 2013 15:47 (eleven years ago) link
No, it's just pretty much every announcement. For instance
Here's one of the biggest Record Store Day announcements we've gotten so far this year: David Bowie is releasing his first two The Next Day singles on a limited edition 7". According to his Facebook page, "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)", which is being shared for the first time next week, will be backed by "Where Are We Now?". Record Store Day is on April 20.That's not the only RSD-exclusive Bowie release on tap-- he's also sharing a Bowie 1965! EP and a "Drive-In Saturday" picture disc.

feel like this is more common with promo tracks in advance of a record, or free downloads?

― queeple qua queeple (Jordan), Wednesday, 20 February 2013 15:50 (eleven years ago) link
ok that's dumb
That quote is saying the record has a release date, but that first track is being digitally "shared" next week. It looks like it in that case is just being used for distinction? Maybe less long-winded than "being digitally released for the first time next week, will be backed on physical release by 'Where Are We Now?'"
