    Time Out Chicago / Issue 177 : Jul 17–23, 2008

    Pitchfork Music Festival 2008 survival guide

    From the top acts to the strange sights, we've got your whole weekend covered.


    Sunday’s best: Aside from the obvious don’t-miss acts Spoon and Dinosaur Jr., here are six reasons to head to Union Park on Pitchfork’s well-rounded, headliner-heavy final day.
    Where’s weirdo?: Kill time during dud acts by snapping photos of typical fest characters for our Pitchfork scavenger hunt.
    Sonic square dance: Our chart plots every act playing the fest according to the face-melting nature of its guitars and whether the band is just plain crap.
    From the U.K. to the Magic Kingdom: The king-jester of Britpop returns to Chicago for a rare performance.
    Odd man out: A field guide to the most bizarre and rare of mammals: Flavor Flav.
    The Hold Steady: Since it ain't broke, Craig Finn and Co. choose not to fix it.
    Icy Demons: Miami Ice finds Rodriguez, Powell and co. refining their signature rhythmic interplay.
    Relive the hype: Public Enemy frontman and cultural commentator Chuck D waxes poetic on the state of digital music, Flavor of Love and revisiting a hip-hop classic.
    The Infinite Loop: Hear an exclusive live performance from Pitchfork act Occidental Brothers Dance Band International on our music podcast.
    Pitchfork Music Festival schedule: The full schedule.

    Send your photos, overheards or random texts from Pitchfork to p4ktoc@timeoutchicago.com. We’ll post them to the TOC Tumblr blog at timeoutchicago.tumblr.com. And check out the TOC blog at timeoutchicago.com/blog for our reviews and photos all weekend long.
