It’s summertime still (heat-check, anyone?) and the music festivals have overtaken this fine land.\u00a0 They continue to blaze by–Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Hard Summer, Outside Lands, Doe Bay<\/strong>, etc., etc., etc. \u00a0 Amongst those that we’ve yet again failed to attend is Oregon’s Pickathon Festival<\/strong>, held each year (this year’s was the 14th annual) at the Pendarvis Farm near Happy Valley, Oregon.\u00a0 Fortunately for us, KEXP<\/strong> and others have been in attendance to film fine performances that we would have otherwise completely missed.\u00a0 Check out a few of our favored vignettes below.<\/p>\n
