Casey Dienel alighted at the famed Daytrotter Future Apple Tree Studios to share her latest live arrangements. Check it out.
Also, via Gorilla Vs. Bear, a teaser from her forthcoming (on Dead Oceans) Francophilic EP, Luniclaire.
Some rollicking action from Graves in anticipation of reflection on tour dates down south. A little bit different in feel for Graves, this cut reminds me of CCR. This vid catches the boys mucking around in Lee Vining, Californ-i-aay.

Jeff London is paying Portland a visit for the first time in a couple of years. Says End Hits: “London used to be a fixture in our local music scene. Evidently [he] grew tired of our cheap rent and easily livability, so he high-tailed it to New York a few years back.”
He played a cool, spare set on a hot Thursday night at Towne Lounge delivering the classics and songs off his ’07 release The Bane of Progress. Here’s the title track from the album, which Local Cut says “alternates between sounding a bit like Hush labelmate Kind of Like Spitting, R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe and, well, himself”:
In the following clips he blurs the lines between “33” and “The Bane of Progress with some harmonica.

From field correspondent Davey D:
I just got back from Pickathon, and my brain is pudding right now, so I won’t even attempt to talk about it at the moment. But I’ll say that the sets with Loch Lomond and Jolie Holland (all four of them!) went amazingly well, and I never thought I’d have so much fun with thousands of hippies and folk musicians.
Laura Gibson and band!
Stage! Hippies! [Cool shade web! – ed]
The first song of Loch Lomond’s second set of the day. I was feelin’ it, man.
