Pitchfork Music Festival was a snoozefest

First off, I’ll just admit that I haven’t been to a rock festival since 1996, let alone the Pitchfork Music Festival, until now. I would never have thought of going until a friend asked me. Pitchfork’s reputation is controversial, but my friend assured me that their concert band se[...]
