With the greatness of the Pitchfork Music Fest coming up next weekend, I thought I would throw some fuel on the hype fire for it with some of the bands that will be blowing our minds come time for the festival. I already covered some more Dinosaur Jr. last Thursday so let's hit up some of the other acts.

A couple of very notable upcoming releases have hit the interwebs in full streaming form. First of all, Coldplay's new album "Viva La Vida" as a full stream just a few days after the album leaked on the nets. Also, My Morning Jacket's latest "Evil Urges" is streaming over at their Myspace page. Those albums are both out in the next couple of weeks. Additionally there are some other releases that are already released that are streaming over at Spinner including The Cool Kids' "Bakesale", Fleet Foxes' self titled debut full length and Aimee Mann's "@#$&! ...

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes - Sub Pop - 2008
One of the most anticipated releases this year is certainly this disc from Fleet Foxes. They had gotten quite a bit of attention based off of their "Sun Giant" EP and based off of their tour with Blitzen Trapper earlier this year. I checked them out when they were here at Schuba's earlier in the year and I thought they were quite good, and I was also a big fan of the EP as well. The album finally dropped on us today, and while it is an incredibly ...

Already posted a few times about these guys, when I saw them with Blitzen Trapper at Schuba's and the track from their upcoming album "White Winter Hymnal".

They have an awesome, very old school kind of sound, and what I've heard of the new album sounds awesome (and the Sun Giant EP is awesome as well). I highly recommend checking them ...

Well I did love these guys when I checked them out a few weeks back at Schuba's, and they have a full length self-titled album coming out June 3rd on Sub Pop records, and this new song is making the rounds on the blogosphere, and it is pretty damn solid. It certainly falls right in line with the very serene, chilled out mountain man campfire song kind of vibe from the EP, and it sounds like the album will deliver as well. This is one to mark down to check out when it comes out. Also, they ...

Wow, what a show. This show was sold out a while back and I had never got tickets because I didn't think I would be able to go, but then it turned out I could go, and Schuba's released some more tickets so I snatched those bitches up, and thank you Schuba's for selling more tickets. This show ruled. The week before I kind of familiarized myself a little more with Blitzen and Fleet Foxes, and they both were completely awesome live. Fleet Foxes went on first, and were a pretty big group (5-6) and played ...
