All my new-playlist-digging time has been devoted to biking around to different shows at Music Fest Northwest this week. (Think Austin's SXSW, but smaller and with more moustaches.) Now I don't see this blog as a music journalism site, but when an expertly curated music festival happens to occur in your city and you find yourself blogging about music, then well, I guess you should at least mention the highlights.
All that and more is still to come, because the Fest is only getting started (it began on Wednesday), but in the meantime here are some well-crafted songs that I have come across while sifting through the largely underground lineup.
Celilo - Baroque Blues myspace
Blind Pilot - The Story I Heard
The Heligoats - Goodness Gracious
and Glass of Water (second video)
p.s. If you have time look at the Willamette Week's write-up on each artist. They manage to capture each act's essence, history and hook in a few sentences. Excellent reporting.
ooooh I like that first video. a lot.
