This week Monday through Thursday we are giving away a pair of passes to the Pitchfork Music Festival! All you have to do is listen to The Current between 7 and 8 am and call in for your chance to win.

It's a great lineup this year with performances by Beach House, Broken Social Scene, Sufjan Stevens, FKA twigs, Super Furry Animals, and Brian Wilson performing Pet Sounds, just to name a few. You can see the whole festival lineup here.
