Papillon Parade

Water is one of my fave KM songs...and Parade...and Black Flowers...and, and, and.

I listened to Andy Shauf's album The Party nearly every damn day last summer. I could not be more excited to see this fellow Canadian at SS5!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN0RPWII7gY

There is a really great NPR Tiny Desk of Big Thief that I've been listening to for weeks now. So happy to see them on the lineup! Kevin Morby is going to be a real treat. Seeing Andy Shauf on the lineup made me actually do a little dance . Also happy to see the limiting of blankets on JF. Don't mind chairs so much, but you can't take up an 6'x8' space and get pissy if someone steps on your blankie.

I bought tickets to the Rodriguez show in Concord, NH on June 21st for my bf and myself. Yesterday I get an email from them saying they are refunding everyone's tickets because of scheduling issues! This was a big part of my bf's Christmas present, which sucks, but what can you do. My only hope now is that those scheduling issues are because he will be at SS now instead!

September, Schmeptember.

As a Canadian born in the 70s I've been listening to TTH since high school, 93' for me. They are the soundtrack to a big part of my life and I've seen them live in every venue imaginable. Saturday night was bittersweet, but It was amazing to see so many celebrations going on not only in Canada, but around the world. Gord Downie will certainly be missed, but how many people are lucky enough to go out like he is...with Grace Too.

Sky Blue Sky for me...reminds me of summer parades in the small town I grew up in. Complete with the ricocheting drunks!

This is why they are my favorite. Constantly evolving and surprising me!

Having major SS withdrawals. 5 years ago today we headed to our first Solid Sound from Nova Scotia. Wish we were on our way there again today!

Last week The Loft send out a msg on FB to listen to Andy Shauf's new album The Party. I had never heard of him until then, and I'm Canadian, but wow, blew me away! Anyone else have a chance to listen to it yet? Hoping to see him on the lineup for SS2017! He just did an NPR TDC which was also pretty great. I hear big similarities between his song Alexander Alone and Bull Black Nova for what it's worth

Doesn't seem real. This one is gonna take a few days to set in.

Agreed! It's quickly climbing the charts of my favorite Wilco albums.

This is going to make my afternoon root canal so much more bearable! I'll be blasting Pickled Ginger alongside the sound of a dentist drill. Would have loved to have heard some of these at SS15, however if they released a free album that weekend I totally would have just exploded.

I'm buzzin'...this is our 3rd SS and couldn't be more excited! It's such a fantastic mix of old and young and new and old...highlight of my summer
