So You Couldn't Be There: Pitchfork 2010 in Pictures
FAUXHEMIANS CONVERGED THIS WEEKEND ON CHICAGO'S WEST SIDE TO immerse themselves in music's alternative sounds.
Pitchfork Music Festival began its three-day run Friday under a scorching sun. The city's showcase for indie music included performances by Modest Mouse, LCD Soundsystem, Sleigh Bells and the '90s indie fav, Pavement.
Couldn't be there in person? Here are some pics from Flickr that'll let you at least feel the spirit.
