Normally I don't care about their generally boring and typical hipster line up but how cool is this: "Public Enemy performing It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back."

Details here.

That's immense, although ATP put on a heck of a lot of good shows so I'm not surprised...

Ya thats pretty cool. They also have animal collective and vampire weekend which aren't half-bad acts IMO.

I'd go for saturday. Sunday looks like nothing I'd be interested in, but this is their first right? You have to start somewhere.

Aren't their line-ups usually pretty solid and varied?

At any rate, it'd be awesome to see Public Enemy perform that live.

They're line-ups seem to consist of the overrated (and for the most part) completely mediocre indie acts they've hyped over that year.

Yeah, I think I'd be willing to go just for that as well.

I tend to just ignore Pitchfork for the most part.

Though I do usually check out their picks for top albums of the year, if only as a curiosity factor.

I am already seeing Public Enemy doing that album live.

I've seen most of the other bands already. I am more hip than pitchfork, and certainly more hip than YOU. Good-day.

No you aren't, I touch myself to Kim Deal while listening to a mix tape I made of Radiohead's b-sides and then wipe it up with a local alternative rock zine.

They're playing the whole album in its entirety?
