Indeed, it's Portland's own version of SNL as the festival fest continues with more than twenty acts taking to various stages throughout the city. The Muddy Boot Organic Fest wraps up its first full day with nighttime sets from Freak Mountain Ramblers and March Fourth Marching Band, while Musicfest Northwest presses forward with a full-on musical orgy of activity, with bills tonight including Okkervil River, The Thermals, The Brunettes, Minus 5, Damien Jurado, Tim Seely, Pseudosix, and still more. Things wrap up with tomorrow night's Wolf Parade-headlined show at the Crystal Ballroom. Also tonight plenty of new and recent releases to hear from, including the first we've heard from former Delgados member Emma Pollock's upcoming solo effort, Watch the Fireworks. We'll also hear from The Mekons, Steve Earle, Jose Gonzalez, The Brunettes, Tim Finn, and more. We'd love to hear from you, particularly if you've anything to report back from one of tonight's festival shows. Anyone caught performances that were great, indifferent, or otherwise? PLAYLIST MP3: The Brunettes, from Structure & Cosmetics- "Small Town Crew" MP3: Elvis Perkins, from Ash Wednesday- "All the Night Without Love"

Sure, Karen. I believe it was "Cannonball" by Brandi Carlile. Thanks for listening.

Re: Oakley Hall: Great, Jeremy. I love those guys too, although I don't know too much of their stuff. Just enough to know what they sound like, what I like, and what I need to buy. Thanks again.

Put this in the wrong place originally (as a comment to randoms #2; if you could delete that I'd appreciate it): we love the show, and are wondering who was on just before KT Tunstall. It's a woman singer, song had a great beat--we missed the ID. Thanks for any info.

Figured it out: it WAS KT Tunstall, "Hold On". Thanks anyway :)

Glad you liked it nonetheless, thanks for listening.

Good tunes tonight. Do you post your set lists somewhere? About the third song from the end tonight, sounded a bit like Oakley Hall. Was it? Thanks.

Hi Jon,
Thanks, it was, indeed, Oakley Hall. Love those guys, I think that song in particular has glorious shades of X. Playlists are on the left side of the OPB Music front page, and I also post them at the bottom of each show entry....which I'm about to do for tonight.

I can't figure out which song it was that had the lyric (roughly), "I was born when I met you, now I'm dying to forget you." Help?
