Silver Jews Headlining Pitchfork's Summer Music Festival!

Pitchfork hasn't announced it yet, but last night on MTV2's "Subterranean" David and Cassie Berman announced that they'll be headlining this year's Pitchfork Summer Music Festival along with already confirmed acts: Mission of Burma, Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, The Mountain Goats, The National, Jens Lekman, and Hot Machines. There are still 29 bands still to be anounced so keep your ears and eyes peeled. Can you peel your ears? I can't.
