Friendly Folk-Pop for the Kids: Hey Marseilles at Vera This Saturday


I read this *twice* as "Rihanna Music Fest." LOL. Shows what kind of press releases I've been reading this year!
Well who doesn't love Fleetwood Mac? (okay, me for one)
Oh, wait, I thought you said "Rhiannon"
And, on-topic, Pink Mountaintops is great. Definitely worth checking out if you have any tolerance for that sexed-up McBean-style psych rock.
