The Pickathon owl is stoked about the 2010 lineup.

The good folks running Pickathon down in Portland, Oregon just released the full lineup for the music festival going down August 6-8. It’s just stacked like a brick, uh… henhouse… (family-friendly indie music blog) with Stereopathic favorites. Bonnie Prince Billy, Dr. Dog, Deep Dark Woods… good golly, just read the list. The Roadside Graves are dropping by here on August 6th on their way to a pair of sets at Pendarvis Farm, site of the three-day indie roots music festival.

As a fan of Bay area hip hop/popsters WHY?’s breakthrough album Aloepecia, it would seem natural that the follow-up, 2009′s Eskimo Snow, would constitute an immediate purchase. Reports of the album not having the hip hop flavor of its predecessor detracted, though fans need not mourn, but rejoice. I’m certainly sorry I waited. Read more

Josh Ritter – Change of Time
So Runs the World Away: Josh Ritter is living up to the promise that Paste Magazine made by naming him one of the top living song writers.  This time the customary combination of deep matter, love, and imaginative historical fiction from Ritter’s heartrendingly genuine pen are shored up by a surprising depth. The songs hold some beautiful lines that catch themselves in the branches of your mind.  The melodies, however, really carry us away. Read more

A new track from M.I.A. made in online earlier today. The file has now disappeared, but there is still this video. Check it out while you can.
This is “Born Free”.

Hey Folks – we here at Stereopathic have been taking a little much-needed hiatus to recoup from Birds on a Wire (which was so much fun!).

Anyways – some of you might remember the show we put on over at the Nuart Theater on February 27th with Headlights. We were blown away by their performance and were lucky enough to catch them in the green room before the show for a quick song.

We’re happy to finally be able to share it with you – here’s “Secrets”, live in the green room by Headlights:

The Shearwater poster: another beauty from @dtdalbey.

We’ve mentioned it before, but it’s really worth mentioning again: Shearwater is playing at the Bell Tower in Pullman on Friday, April 30th. Check David Dalbey’s poster for the details, or keep on reading.

The show starts at 8 PM and kicks off with Lawrence, Kansas’ Hospital Ships. The band is fronted by one Jordan Geiger, who occasionally plays the trumpet for Shearwater. NPR liked his 2009 LP, Oh, Ramona quite a bit.

Next on the bill: Baltimore, Maryland duo Wye Oak. The band, a pair of multi-instrumentalists named Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack, Read more
