I've decided that simpler is better. I'm trying out a name change - the Online Folk Festival is now Festival Radio. We'll see how that works for awhile. If not, I'll change it back. The website will remain at http://www.onlinefolkfestival.com for now, since the domain is paid for and a radio production company has festivalradio.com.

I got back from a week in northern Michigan to find some great new releases from The Strangelings (Pete and Maura Kennedy's new band) and Christine Lavin in my mailbox. Of course, they have been added. Here is the complete list of new adds since I reported last:

Artist - Album

• The Strangelings - Season of the Witch
• Christine Lavin - Happydance of the Xenophobe
• Mae Robertson - Dream
• Peter Himmelman - The Pigeons Couldn't Sleep
• chris and thomas - land of sea
