Just hope the new songs haven't been overproduced on the record. Aside from them, and Pete& the Pirates and Misty's Big Adventure(both superb live bands), I enjoyed discovering Jeffrey Lewis, Darren Hayman, Loney Dear, Michael J Sheehy, 30 lb of Bone, Hyacinth House, Twilight Sad, and others too numerous to mention. Outstanding bands in beautiful settings, and after meeting Russell Howard & Jon Richardson of BBC6 Music on the saturday, I ended up talking to them live on their sunday morning show, hungover in my tent after about 1/2 an hours sleep. listen to this weeks podcast of their show , and I'm on it. Anyway,back to the point, I want to recommend EOTR to everyone but not at the expense of it then becoming too big and losing the little touches?? tricky dilemma, but well done to all involved.

I saw Howe Gelb last night at the Luminaire and he was awesome. Jim White's playing there next month if you're interested. Wish I could have gone.

This is the first blog report I've been able to find from EOR, a festival I was truly sorry to miss. Did you see the Young Republic? Thanks!
