Mastodon? Cat Power? The GZA? Were I not confined to this antipodean prison colony last weekend, I would have probably been checking out the Pitchfork festival going down in Chicago. Had I done so, I would have been spoiled. Not only could I have caught the shows, I could also have caught some Pokemans. Kotakuite Gavin, who was in attendance, says these kids were patrolling the show, doing little else but seeking out others to trade Pokemon with. And, by all accounts, succeeding. And they say the spirit of rock'n'roll is dead.
