Ah yes. Like a national holiday for those who aren’t quite patriotic, The Pitchfork Music Festival comes around but once a year…however, I don’t have the money to attend. No, I’m not bitter or jealous. After all, there’s a ton of music blogs to choose from that give an group-by-group account of the festival, plus all the really juicy stuff that happens off stage. That should be almost as good as being there, …

It’s easier to get WPRB’s reception in NYC when you stand on a roof.
Pitchfork has an interview with The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, who have a great self-titled record on the resurrected (and stronger than ever before!) Slumberland Records. You may have heard this record on WPRB recently; last week it was #3 on our Top 30 charts.
Anyway, in today’s Pitchfork interview there’s a little WPRB namedrop that made us go …
