LOL vs LAPALOOZA

We've got something to post later this week which will hopefully make up for all the lack of posting that has been going on. In the meantime, some more self-promotion... our band is performing (as Daft Punk) at the Hideout on Thursday night as part of ANTECEDAPALOOZA. If you're coming in from out of town for Lollapalooza, or you live in Chicago and like to live it up on Thursday nights, come to this party. Also appearing:

» The Blue Ribbon Glee Club
» DJs Bald Eagle, Popstatic, Pete Augusta, Konsept
» plus a screening of Daft Punk's Electroma at 8pm

THE HOOD vs VACATION

We're going to be at the Pitchfork Music Festival all weekend (side note: our band is playing at the Chicago Cultural Center in about two and a half hours as part of the Pitchfork-sponsored Lunchbreak Series) and we've got a Hood-related project to work on, so we're taking next week off. Lates.

To close out Pitchfork Music Festival week, here are links to some previous Hood posts featuring artists from this year's festival.

Junior Boys vs DJ Khaled (Sunday, 3:00pm)
The New Pornographers vs Lil Flip (Sunday, 8:00pm)
Clipse vs The Avalanches (Saturday, 7:00pm)
Battles vs The High & Mighty (Saturday, 4:00pm)
Dan Deacon vs Khia (Saturday, 7:15pm)
Of Montreal vs Atmosphere (Sunday, 7:00pm)
Deerhunter vs The Roots (Sunday, 1:00pm)
Fujiya & Miyagi vs T.I. (Saturday, 4:10pm)

CADENCE WEAPON vs PROFESSOR MURDER

DJ STV SLV - Free Shark Test [4.9MB; via zshare]



Professor Murder plays Pitchfork Music Festival on Saturday at 5:15, Cadence Weapon plays on Sunday at 6:15. Fun fact: I went to college with Jesse from Professor Murder.

DE LA SOUL vs JAMIE LIDELL

ABX - What's The Stakes [5.8MB; via zshare]



This Sunday, Pitchfork Music Festival features performances by Jamie Lidell at 5:00 and De La Soul at 9:00.

CLIPSE vs CAT POWER

ABX - I Don't Blame You For Shinin' And Grindin' [5.3MB; via zshare]



Clipse do the Pitchfork Music Festival this Saturday at 7:00 and Cat Power goes on at 8:00. If for some reason the Clipse set goes over the hour and overlaps with Cat Power, it will probably sound like this.

GZA vs SONIC YOUTH

DJ STV SLV - Beneath The Candle [3.5MB; via zshare]



GZA plays Pitchfork Music Festival this Friday at 7:45, Sonic Youth at 9:00. And yes, it would have made more sense to use a GZA track from Liquid Swords, but we could only find stuff from Beneath The Surface.

TAG TEAM vs LCD SOUNDSYSTEM

DJ STV SLV - Great! There It Is [2.6MB; via zshare]



Here's another one from The Mixtape Volume One that we hadn't already posted up as a "single version." NEXT WEEK: the Pitchfork Music Festival hits Chicago; the Hood will be posting tracks featuring various artists appearing at the fest.
