Thoughts on 80/35 shows yesterday?
Chuck D performs at 80/35.

Anyone have any favorite sets from yesterday they want to discuss? Matisyahu stands out as my favorite. As much as I loved Public Enemy's set last year at Pitchfork, I was let down yesterday. It wasn't the missing Flavor Flav; he's good for some comic relief, but he's a pretty small part of the group as a whole. For a set that had a pretty pre-determined course, it seemed all over the place. Too much rambling about the the quad-state area (which somehow involved 6-7 states), not enough intensity.

For Saturday I'm most looking forward to:

Man Man

Broken Social Scene

Miss Derringer

Cleo's Apartment

Brother Ali

Cymbals Eat Guitars

Flatform

Along with a bunch of others. If you have any thoughts on Friday or today, share them here.
