the team of broadcast censors will have to be on their shit for the 'nation of millions' performance.

...and all of the off color banter between songs.

I'm pretty sure that "team of broadcast censors" is just one person standing next to a dump button. I'm sure they will be on their toes, though.

I'm sure it will be a lot of talk and chatter over the performances as they are happening. Last thing I would ever want is Cheryl Waters talking over a performance of Public Enemy or Jarvis Cocker.

@3 - why would you think that? I don't think I've ever heard (or heard of) anyone talking over a live performance broadcast on KEXP. That is a very strange thing to say.

I don't know if there's been anything on Line Out about it, but I noticed that Live Nation has a new festival with Tom Petty, Coldplay and a lot of the Sasquatch act that in Pemberton (25 miles north of Whistler) in July.

Tickets were on sale today, but it looks like you can only buy 3 day tickets. I know it's Canada, but it seems weird.

@7 - I don't know the details, but they would not go there if they weren't going to be broadcasting at least some live performances.

Oh, wait! Here's what an official station e-mail says: "We're happy to announce that KEXP will be partnering with the Pitchfork Music Festival to broadcast from Chicago! On the days leading up to the festival, KEXP will broadcast from a location within the city and host a series of live in-studios with bands from Chicago and beyond. Then, on the weekend, KEXP will air select live performances from the Pitchfork Music Festival, while John Richards and Cheryl Waters spin live shows from the festival grounds."

There you have it.

Sorry Kirby, I was on vac, can you really only buy 3 day passes? Pemberton is actually closer than George, and the camping/jane situation has to muy gusto.
