In Which It's Bumber Time Again!

I had a really great idea. I was going to blog Bumbershoot, with sample MP3s by the musicians I heard.

Then I thought about how the internet connection I'll have access to is really not all that speedy, and how maybe it's rude to stay at a friend's house and then hog their computer for ages every night while uploading music files, and so I revised my idea.

See, I already told my friend Mitch, who can't make it to the 'Shoot this year, that I'd send her a CD of musicians who are performing (or at least the ones I had MP3s for). And it's relatively quick and easy for me to just post those tracks here as well. So here you go. If you were going to hang out with me at Bumbershoot 2006, this is what you'd most likely hear:
