Pickathon starts in a few days
Filed Under Awesome Music, Shows, news | Leave a Comment
Friday to Sunday, August 6th, 7th, and 8th, Pendarvis Farm, just outside of Portland, Oregon. If you’re at all in or near the Portland area, we aren’t aware of anything else you oughtta be doing that weekend. Discounted advance tickets remain on sale until Thursday the 5th. That’s tomorrow, people.
Pickathon, dammit.
A locally-owned, family-friendly, sustainably-run indie roots music festival with a killer lineup, great food, and on-site camping. Not only that, but Stereopathic mastermind Larson Hicks will be volunteering there, so if you see a relatively sober, 6’1″ Texan concierg-ing Bonnie Prince Billy from the Beer Garden to the stage, say hello to the man. Our dear friend Nate Wolff will be there, too.
We can’t say enough nice things about Pickathon, and those of us who aren’t making it down this year (some of us so we can run the Roadside Graves’ show this Friday) deeply resent those who are.

I don’t know that I’ve read a better interview with a music personality than this one. Oldham comes across as good-humored, balanced, and wise. I feel like the time spent reading an interview on the internet wasn’t wasted; an uncommon feeling. Check it out.

Richard Buckner: Ariel Ramirez
Filed Under Updates | Leave a Comment
Richard Buckner’s cover for his 1998 record, Since, shows nine pictures of a candle flame blowing out. The record’s third song, Ariel Ramirez, is the sound of that candle wavering in the breeze, his baritone and guitar fighting against a pointless and paralyzing loss. Buckner’s lyrics suggest more than they tell; it’s almost the sound of them that’s more important than the words themselves. Put Ariel on/And smoke away the night/And do the white net crawl/Until the hammers fall. A piano joins Richard, Read more

Drag City Records releases Beware by Bonnie “Prince” Billy today, March 17th. He’s bringing this record out less than a year behind Lie Down In the Light, one of my favorite records of last year. All accounts indicate that this one’s even better. I’m hoping to have a copy to play on the show tomorrow night. Tune in at 8:30 pm Pacific on KUOI, 89.3 FM, Moscow, or online here.
