Here are The A.V. Club's tweets from Saturday of Pitchfork Fest.
marahe: Bar across from #pitchfork jazzed they're offering 'live music' for fest goers- a guy with an acoustic guitar playing dishwalla covers. Hm.
July 18, 2009 11:04 PM
GenevieveKoski: Overheard swooning hipster girl: "he's so cute! He's like a cross between the guy from Phoenix and Vincent Gallo!" Oh sweetie… #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 10:33 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Corpse dismembered. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 09:52 PM
Kyle_Ryan: "Abel" killed #pitchfork fest dead. "Mr. November will dismember the corpse.
July 18, 2009 09:20 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Maybe it's the free beer talking but everything's turning into the greatest thing ever. The National makes me swoon. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 09:08 PM
steveheisler: National abiding by key rule of live shows: don't play the songs exactly like they sound on the album. "slow show" great example #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 09:01 PM
GenevieveKoski: So many people onstage at The National. They sound great. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:59 PM
Kyle_Ryan: OK, Matt & Kim into The National makes Saturday 100x better than Friday. It may not get better than this. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:58 PM
Kyle_Ryan: But The National rocking "Secret Meeting" is pretty fucking great #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:53 PM
Kyle_Ryan: I'd rather watch Matt & Kim a dozen times in a row than last night's whole show. Matt & Kim win Saturday. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:51 PM
joshmodell: Every national song is the best, which I guess means the national is the best. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:50 PM
steveheisler: National busts out "Mistaken For Strangers" and we're back up and rockin. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:45 PM
steveheisler: The security guard here is listening to his iPod INSTEAD of the National. I mean, it's mellow, yeah, but not BAD. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:39 PM
marahe: The national are beautiful and all but need to pick it up to keep all these sleepy concertgoers awake… #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:39 PM
joshmodell: National slowjam vs sidestage rocking = ouch. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:38 PM
GenevieveKoski: M&K bust out The Final Countdown. The crown goes wild. Sadly, no illusions. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:36 PM
GenevieveKoski: M&K pull off the same energy as Los campesinos but with 20% as many members. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:30 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Oh my god, The National are gonna sound like the saddest of bastards after Matt & Kim. I'm not leaving this early. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:29 PM
emilywithrow: Sun starting to go down, sleepiness starting to tug. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:27 PM
Kyle_Ryan: The 2 names on Matt & Kim's guest list: Barack Obama & Oprah. Not sure if either showed. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:22 PM
GenevieveKoski: Matt and Kim apparently the only artists at #pitchfork who got the memo that music is supposed to be fun.
July 18, 2009 08:20 PM
joshmodell: Staking out a spot for the national, cuz I'm a fanboy. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:08 PM
steveheisler: Kim is the smilingest drummer I've ever seen. If only she were better… #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:07 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Matt & Kim couldn't look more joyful on stage & it couldn't be more charming. They're killing it, & I now have huge Kim crush. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:07 PM
emilywithrow: Suddenly a Matt & Kim fan. She is so cute! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:06 PM
GenevieveKoski: Surprising number of crowd surfers at Matt and Kim. Understandable though, they're bringing it. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:06 PM
GenevieveKoski: Kim of matt and Kim has the biggest smile on her face while she plays. Very refreshing. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:01 PM
GenevieveKoski: Kim of matt and Kim has the biggest smile on her face as she plays. Very refreshing. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 08:00 PM
steveheisler: Is matt and Kim becoming this years Cut Copy? Still waiting for it to start…oh hi nm. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 07:56 PM
Kyle_Ryan: B Stage is running 30 min late, still waiting for Matt & Kim. I blame Wavves. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 07:54 PM
joshmodell: I watched all of Lindstrom but I still feel hungry. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 07:36 PM
emilywithrow: Watching one of the saddest hip-hop dance circles ever. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 07:19 PM
Kyle_Ryan: I really like Doom in small doses. His monotone flow loses luster after awhile. And the mix is still meh. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 07:07 PM
emilywithrow: "it's like a retard fest / how it got started is any retard's guess." #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 06:59 PM
emilywithrow: Interpretive facial expressions by Doom's backup more fun to watch than Doom's mostly robotic delivery. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 06:59 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Doom's hypeman is earning his keep. Every chance he gets, he's proclaiming Doom the be all end all. "The beats are so melodic!" #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 06:57 PM
emilywithrow: Maybe a prereq for putting you hands up should be a remote sense of rhythm. #pitchfork #assholecomment #doom
July 18, 2009 06:43 PM
kphipps3000: Went to see a HARRY POTTER matinee. Came back w/a headache (not because of the movie.) Sitting out #pitchfork Saturday. See you tomorrow.
July 18, 2009 06:41 PM
GenevieveKoski: It took three songs but we finally got some bass in this set. #pitchfork Doom
July 18, 2009 06:37 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Once again, TURN IT UP. This is an insult to Doom! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 06:31 PM
steveheisler: Crowd not taking to Doom like I thought. Lots of polite head nodding #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 06:30 PM
steveheisler: Are they saying Doom, or Doom-urns? #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 06:27 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Hilarity! @genevievekoski pulled a Michael Jackson & set her hair on fire for a second. Can Doom top THAT? #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 06:26 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Watched Wavves for a bit with @mrsamlowry, but bailing early for Doom. Wavves wasn't bad…will investigate more. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 06:10 PM
steveheisler: Yeasayer putting on a hell of a live show. Really high energy. Dude playing drum machine bare handed. They just saluted the sun. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 06:06 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Now THAT is a lotta reverb on Wavves dude's vocals. But not bad so far. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 05:57 PM
steveheisler: Yeasayer just declared their last song "summer jam 2010" #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 05:47 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Vultures by me hoping for another Wavves onstage meltdown. God, get over it—they had a really bad show. So what? #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 05:45 PM
joshmodell: Uh oh, rain is finally starting. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 05:44 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Yeasayer watchers, here's a quick recap of when I saw them: line check for 30 min, then complain about only having 20 min to play #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 05:42 PM
joshmodell: The yeasayer dude cut his hair? Now 70% less hippie! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 05:37 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Everything I've read about Wavves makes me think I'll dislike them immensely. But I'm keeping an open mind! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 05:36 PM
GenevieveKoski: "Ponytail is like the Gossip if you forgot where the real Gossip was." #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 05:13 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Nope, can't get with her shrill meows. They still pierce from across the park. Kill time before Wavves, but mostly wait for Doom #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 05:04 PM
joshmodell: Final fantasy won me over. Good on ya, final fantasy. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:57 PM
GenevieveKoski: Complaining to my friend about the sound and she says it's "engineered for maximum love connection. Like 'i like your keds.'" #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:50 PM
emilywithrow: Much of Ponytail stooping like ogres for reverby anthem. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:48 PM
davidwolinsky: Lots of folks laying down for Ponytail, but someone got really relaxed. Found a used condom next to what's hopefully mayo. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:48 PM
Kyle_Ryan: During their more intense moments musically, Ponytail remind me of Parts & Labor…not sure I can with the vocals though. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:48 PM
joshmodell: FF: "sorry I played so many new songs, but they're the ones I enjoy sharing with you." #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:45 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Watching Ponytail, @emilywithrow asks me about wailing singer, "It's a girl?" #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:39 PM
steveheisler: Seriously, I don't think i've ever heard a quieter #pitchfork crowd. One guy's clap is echoing.
July 18, 2009 04:32 PM
marahe: Final fantasy kind of bringing the pretty and precious to #pitchfork.
July 18, 2009 04:31 PM
steveheisler: Final Fantasys voice sounds like his violin #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:28 PM
GenevieveKoski: How is Final Fantasy louder than Fucked Up was? It is quite pretty though. Good to listen to while on a blanket. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:27 PM
joshmodell: The kids don't know how to physically react to final fantasy. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:25 PM
joshmodell: Final fantasy is precious in a good way. Is he the dude that hates that word? #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:20 PM
GenevieveKoski: Just got recognized by an AVC superfan. Weird and awesome! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:17 PM
davidwolinsky: Kids from 826 writing center just interviewed Lindstrom. He prefers Prince to Michael Jackson. Topical! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:09 PM
steveheisler: Final Fantasy crowd already seated. Guess it'll be that kinda show. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 04:09 PM
GenevieveKoski: Ice cream man says beer was spilled on the Popsicles. My free ice cream! I demand a refund! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:57 PM
emilywithrow: Excitement! Someone passed out! Call a medic! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:57 PM
marahe: The 'you're Michael jackson's doctor' photo booth drawing huge crowds. #pitchfork http://yfrog.com/5elzyj
July 18, 2009 03:54 PM
GenevieveKoski: Technicolor men's skinny jeans are always unfortunate. Flourescent salmon might be the most unfortunate, however. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:51 PM
emilywithrow: Dude wearing a Belle & Sebastian T-shirt just gave me dirty look for texting during Bowerbirds. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:51 PM
emilywithrow: Unsurprisingly not loud enough to counter thumps from other stages. #pitchfork Bowerbirds
July 18, 2009 03:49 PM
emilywithrow: Bowerbirds coming on, including big string bass and accordian and obligatory mention of folky Sister Mary. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:47 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Pains aren't loud per se, but frontman's Gibson Treblemaster, er, Jazzmaster is friggin PIERCING. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:44 PM
joshmodell: Pains of being… Zzzzzzzzz. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:41 PM
davidwolinsky: 19 year old working the nintendo ds bus says this gig has nothing on the lunchables tour. No free rock climbing here. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:35 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Cessna overhead towing banner for Esser album. Damn! On ground, Pains Of Being Pure @ Heart prove better than their terrible name.#pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:32 PM
joshmodell: I fucked up… And missed Fucked Up! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:20 PM
GenevieveKoski: FU guitarist jumped on top of the crowd and then the rain starts. Yay and boo. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:16 PM
davidwolinsky: Pitchfork hassled me about my i.d. As if you can fake this kind of handsome. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:15 PM
GenevieveKoski: Pink Eye gives the audience a 9.9. "you're better than an animal collective record." #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:08 PM
steveheisler: You heard it here first. Animal Collective sounds like phish… "cuz it's terrible" via Fucked Up #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:07 PM
Kyle_Ryan: 4 years in #pitchfork fest organizers STILL haven't figured out that it's not loud enough. Fucked Up should be leveling us
July 18, 2009 03:04 PM
GenevieveKoski: Kidding aside, FU is turning in a great, tight, extremely entertaining set. #pitchfork.
July 18, 2009 03:02 PM
emilywithrow: People being more tossed about than surfing, but at least they're sporting devil's horns. #pitchfork Fucked Up
July 18, 2009 03:01 PM
Kyle_Ryan: I still find it a little surprising that Fucked Up has 3 guitarists. Maybe if they up-picked, they'd need fewer! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 03:00 PM
steveheisler: Hipster beach #pitchfork http://yfrog.com/e1akij
July 18, 2009 02:58 PM
steveheisler: Freestyling: "our record got an 8.8. Our record label said that it was great" #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 02:56 PM
GenevieveKoski: He just chugged a water bottle! Hardcore! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 02:54 PM
GenevieveKoski: FU's Pink Eye is pretty crazy, but he has a ways to go to steal Tim Harrington's "crazy fat dude at pfork" gold medal. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 02:53 PM
steveheisler: You have to get really close to appreciate Fucked Ups tightness #pitchfork #thatswhatshesaid
July 18, 2009 02:49 PM
Kyle_Ryan: You know, I'd be sad if Pink Eye's back WEREN'T that hairy. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 02:46 PM
emilywithrow: Finally some action onstge: Pink Eye just bit into a beachball and put in over his head. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 02:38 PM
GenevieveKoski: Hipster mom put some god damn ear protectors on your infant during fucked ups set. #pitchfork #dumbass
July 18, 2009 02:37 PM
steveheisler: Well now he's eating beachballs so were close #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 02:35 PM
steveheisler: I keep wanting the Fucked Up guy to start with Tim Harrington-like shenanigans #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 02:32 PM
marahe: Ashland bus to #pitchfork is a total sardine related nightmare.
July 18, 2009 02:10 PM
steveheisler: Purple jean cut offs will never go out of style. Wait, the opposite of that. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 02:04 PM
steveheisler: All the coolest vendors are here: decider, Chicago reader, the library… #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 02:03 PM
steveheisler: Just arrived at #pitchfork. Lines infinitely shorter than yesterday. Staff _way_ calmer
July 18, 2009 01:58 PM
Kyle_Ryan: A few of us are timing our arrivals to see Fucked Up @ 2:30. Stay tuned. #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 12:45 PM
Kyle_Ryan: Normally @ Pitchfork, you feel sweat beads rolling down your back. Today I'm bringing a hoodie. Chicago Un-Summer '09 continues! #pitchfork
July 18, 2009 12:23 PM
