The Portland Folk Festival has announced almost all of its schedule for the festival weekend of August 19-22. We’ve got the whole thing over on End Hits; highlights include Thao and Mirah doing a mostly acoustic set, Kimya Dawson, Damien Jurado, Dan Bern, Sea of Bees, Portland Cello Project, and more. Check it out!
End Hits: We’re also looking forward to the Portland Yolk Festival.
Keeping Portland Beard, I see.
BEST COMMENT EVER!
For some reason it’s also ‘en vogue’ to dress like Corsican shepherds (suspenders, earth-toned shorts, wide-brimmed hats, sandals, AND the ever present BEARD)- only without the honor killings/vendetta-knifing’s. HEY YOU! FOLK-TARDS! Do you want me to take your music seriously? Drink nothing but your own home-brew wine, and eat nothing but root veggies, bread, and goat cheese (or some vegan substitute or other), and eat it with a knife. Then use that on your mandolin player when he plays a bum note, anyone that accidentally feeds you gluten, or anyone that disagrees with you about Pete Seeger’s genius (or lack thereof). AND ALWAYS, remember to gesticulate PASSIONATELY when you talk. Maybe then, I’ll give you a listen. Maybe even respect you. I’ll stop resenting you for getting all the quality “diy fashion-designer” muff, and stop getting the urge to knock you off your fixed gear to pull out the face pubes from the roots. I promise. In the meantime, please shave- you look like a pussy, literally.
