The A&E blog covers a span of cultural artifacts as wide, fascinating, and bizarre as the internet itself, from reviews of the cheapest coolers at the liquor store to the best concert to see at the Triple Rock, with a bit of speculation at the meaning of it all stuffed in between.

Alongside Wilco, he is the heir of Woody Guthrie's lost lyrics. He has played heaps of workingman benefit shows throughout his three-decade career. His fans attend his shows as much for his erudite Socialist rants as for his folk ditties. His latest project was providing music for "Pressure Drop," a…

The Pitchfork 2010 match — cracked by Modest Mouse in night one and kept alive by Free Energy and Titus Andronicus in night two — now lies lonely and extinguished in the form of a thousand beer cups, two thousand cig butts and as many bum roaches on the…

The torrid Saturday sun beat down on Chicago’s union park as Free Energy opened day two of the Pitchfork music festival on the Aluminum stage. Their bouncy, 70s-inspired power pop resonated with their seemingly well-rested and receptive audience eliciting more than the obligatory head-bobs and served as an appropriate kick…

Here are some morsels from our friends at Radio K:
Friday was the first day of the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. It was a very long day for the Radio K crew, but enough about us. Let's talk about the music, the people, and the festivities!

Micheal Showalter is a funny dude. He was superb in “Wet Hot American Summer,” sound in “The State” and stellar in Comedy Central’s short-lived sitcom “Stella.” So when he awkwardly ushered in his gig at the Pitchfork Festival, the audiences’ antennae assumed it was part of the act. A couple…

Pitchfork 2010 began in predictable fashion. Dance bands played to a beat that outpaced the not-yet-comfortable shoe gazers in the crowd, the Jumbotron ran an ad that showed Rolling Stone banally dubbing the festival "The Indie Rock Mecca" and the comedian tent was rocked by hackneyed hipster stereotyping jokes.…

Radio K gives us yet another morsel of raucous fun from LA noise band HEALTH. The performance is of Die Slow and is a sample from Radio K's footage of the band's June 15th show at First Ave's 7th St. Entry.

Hello darlings! Can you believe my makeup-obsessed self completely neglected to endorse anything for winter? I can't! So, without further ado, here's my list of passionate loves for springtime, which I'm convinced is just around the corner.
-Bronzer is incredibly important as we enter the sunshiny months, and since I've recently…

Bradford Cox of Atlas Sound looks like above picture, but his music sounds more like a smoke-filled southern bog inhabited by sensitive space aliens from the future. More specifically, his new album “Logos” finds his stream-of-consciousness delay pedal toe-taps unfurling themselves into intimate, melodious and at times even catchy tunes.…

Growing up, my older sister Krissy used to play the “Rent” soundtrack on a regular basis, and I was puzzled by the sing-song answering machine messages and the occasional breakage from song into outright moo-ing. This made “Rent” my first indication that contemporary theater could combine experimental structures with controversial…

"My Funny Valentine" -- Chet Baker
"Maps" -- Yeah Yeah Yeahs
"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" -- Stevie…
