Lord knows, we love a festival.  If you’re  like us, your head has been ‘splodin’ with the release of all the big festival announcements these past few weeks.  Add to the list, Pickathon.  Out on Pendarvis Farm near Portland, Oregon folks will get a chance to take in everything from raucous garage rock to sauntering countryfied sounds.  It’s sure to be a weekend full of musical discoveries and that gets a big ol’ Donkey “Yeeeeeehaw!” from us.
