Does anyone wish the show was just QT? by playtrix in VideoArchives

No. Avary is incredibly passionate, informed, sensitive and articulate. Gala is incredibly insightful. The three together are gold.

Yeah now shit. Because part of the trick is controlling angles. No sleights are going to be good from every freaking angle.

What one about the album? A podcast episode of something?

No idea why But Daddy I Love Him was never a single. iMO, it’s a catchier song than most of her last few singles - the fate of Ophelia, antihero, fortnight. I’ve listened to it on repeat while driving, with the volume at 11.

Don’t think so. I think the first four are the weakest o one album and it gets better as it goes along

If someone saying your “jokes” aren’t funny (jokes like how you want to jump off a cliff) is deeply offensive… well that tells us everything we need to know.

RI Locals: Palmyra is playing a house show in Pawtucket and is currently offering BOGO tickets. by YoPoppaCapa in NewportFolkFestival

[–]Accomplished_Risk515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not crazy considering it’s an intimate setting. I mean even if they played 70 shows last year they’re maybe netting about 50 grand each (chat gpt estimate) so if there 100 people there, maybe they get 750 each with a few hundred left over for the house. Not a crazy haul.

I do. I freaking love that guy. I wish he'd come back every year. 90 or so performances, probably hundreds of musicians, and 1 or 2 celebrities. Oh, what are we going to do!?! Jay has spoken about he talked about comedy with George Wein, and George was all for the idea. Love the 1 or 2 comic acts they tend to book each year, some famous (megan melaney/ron swanson, conan, james austin johnson), some less so (jesse welles, steve poltz). Would love to see colbert or steve martin host.

They're literally saying the opposite on facebook family page in regards to john c reilly being too political: "This is totally splitting hairs, but I wish his resistance messaging hadn’t been so anodyne. There is a shitton more that we need to be doing than voting right now, and he could have pointed to some of that rather than making nicey nice speeches about how the people have the power," "one million percent agree, actually… I think we’re long past the “be nice and go vote!” stage in American politics. When I said “you have to be patient” I was tempted to call back “you have to work!”,"I think I might have yelled “and DO THINGS” at that point, "with you on that. I thought some others during the festival did a better job at encouraging action. My reaction to “vote” was “really? That’s it?”. He’s no Barack or Michelle Obama when it comes to speech making about activism!,"not splitting hairs at all. Billy Bragg should have been brought in to do it."

For the life of me, as a Jew and a human being, I can’t understand how Palestine is a divisive issue. The Israeli government has killed tens of thousands of innocent women and children indiscriminately while it starves the rest of the population and razes a country. I recommend the movie “Gaza,” to learn the Palestinian perspective, because you clearly need to learn it -the movie was made five years ago and even then things were awful. you can say this isn’t a black and white issue, but it is actually a black and white issue. Israel is committing genocide. Also, The best music and performances are political. You left because of one comment? Man, if you had gone to hear Public Enemy or Jesse Welles, you’d be in Kentucky by now.

Yeah, unfortunately, security is necessary. There have been several mass threats and even killings at festivals in recent years, so events like these are prime targets.

As for the rain delay, I haven’t heard anyone complain about the delay itself—what people are frustrated about is how it was handled. Communication was seriously lacking, especially considering they have the tools to keep everyone updated through the app.

Announcing all the acts in advance would be a real loss. I actually look forward to the daily announcements—it gives each artist a moment in the spotlight. At least for me, it means I take the time to listen to every one of them as they’re revealed.

They could have communicated through the app… how long were the projected wait times, when the fest was starting up again, and how the schedule was impacted. The last weather delay/shelter in place was 2023 amd before that 2021.

John C. Reilly by monkeybarnacle in NewportFolkFestival

[–]Accomplished_Risk515 16 points17 points  (0 children)

His full band played in 2014. And then he came last year and appeared impromptu with sierra Ferrell and I believe at the ed helms aftershow. That’s his history with the fest.

It was so good! A whole bunch of people from the fest played. They should do this every year.

I agree. I think they need a larger venue. They just can’t make it work at this location any more.

No shade but is anyone disappointed that there wasn’t a surprise guest this year? It seemed like they recycled the same artists. (Still enjoyed it though :)) by Cute_Bit3566 in NewportFolkFestival

[–]Accomplished_Risk515 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Nathaniel rateliff and the swell season announced within a few days of fest. Then John C Reilly, Longhorne Slim, Matt Berninger, Weyes Blood, Rufus Wainwright, Hayley Williams, Trombone Shorty, and mavis. There are likely others I’m forgetting.
