I know zac posted this on the dab, but it's one reason why it is quite unfortunate that Beirut isn't playing at Folk Fest.

FOLK FEST '09

Despite the fact that Akron/Family or Beirut aren't playing, this line up is rediculous. Heres the stuff that we know probably matters without listening to everybody:
(click the linked bands. i linked them because i havn't heard them, then listened to them, and thought they were pretty awesome)

Bell Orchestre
Neko Case
the Deep Dark Woods
Great Lake Swimmers
IRON & WINE
King Sunny Ade & His African Beats
Kobo Town
K.D. Lang
Okkervil River
Xavier Rudd
Oumou Sangare;'
Patrick Watson
Jah Youssouf

This only reminds me of folk fest

No. 7: Akron/Family "They Will Appear, Behold" from Retread Sessions on Vimeo.

and how much i want to be making music like that, and playing at folk fest on the camp ground.
