That's right, it's Bumbershoot weekend. Susan has kicked me out of the house so that she can finish the novel, so I'm off to that great, quirky Seattle music festival.
Tomorrow is looking to be a lot of soul and blues -- Solomon Burke, Blind Boys of Alabama, North Mississippi All-Stars, and the big R&B extravaganza. Sunday I haven't quite figured out yet, but Labor Day is Leftover Salmon and Nickel Creek to open, either New Pornographers or Daniel Lanois in the afternoon, and two bands I've wanted to see for eons now: R.E.M. and Wilco.
If I can still hear by the end of the weekend, I'll post a summary. BTW, my requests for the REM show (I emailed them in):
Camera
Kohoutek
Sitting Still
Flowers of Guatemala
Voice of Harold (admittedly, a really mean choice)

Did they play any of your requests?
