A recent recipient of a Pitchfork 1.9 rating bitch slap, Ed Harcourt headlined Schubas last Friday with a raucous tequilla-fueled performance that I'd say merited a rating of at least 7.8. Despite what the Pfork review may have implied, Harcourt is actually a legit artist and talented multi-instrumentalist; and his first Chicago performance in six years definitely proved that. Turns out he's also quite a personable bloke to boot, as you can see from this pre-show interview.

Why would Pitchfork bother to review a 2006 album in 2008 other than just to be assholes?
