Atlanta's own Deerhunter headlined the Fountain Lawn stage, and did the city proud with a mesmerizing set of psych-rock. The confrontational Bradford Cox criticized the crowd early on for being too wound up and excitable, and told everybody to just chill out a little. Later, after finishing a song, he said, "Thank you for your polite applause. Here's a polite song." There would be no winning for the audience, especially after he left the stage at the end of the set and refused to come back out for an encore. His persona is now part of his art, and makes it all so much more interesting, IMHO.
One more set to go for Bumbershoot 2013.
