20 days until the 2010 PDX Pop Now! Festival kicks off. Until then, take a minute to get a little better acquainted with a couple of acts that will be performing. You'll thank us later.

Part ambient wall of sound, part performance art, all visual experience, Billygoat project their own stop-motion short films and soundtrack them live. MP3 below, but you've got to see it to capture it all—Sunday, 8/1 at 5:30, in case you were wondering.
