The Emerald sat down with Pancho + The Factory to talk about being divas and what it’s like being part of the Eugene music scene.

In this episode of Jamie Perry and Meerah Powell’s as-of-yet-untitled podcast, they pick songs about springtime, blended with the melancholy of finals week, into one emotionally charged playlist.

As Perry describes it, “It’s a nice balance between hopefulness and hopelessness.”

Here’s the playlist. Listen to episode four below.

The Bilinda Butchers – “All My Friends”

The Jean-Paul Sartre Experience – “I Like Rain”

Jenny and Johnny – “Big Wave”

The Halo Benders – “Don’t Touch My Bikini”

Quarterbacks – “Weekend”

Dead Moon – “It’s O.K.”

There’s no question that finals week is the time when student stress levels reach an all-time high. Luckily, there are groups like PAAWS that help alleviate this stress by bringing their dogs to campus for students to play with during this trying time. We interviewed the students getting in on the action about their new furry friends.

The 36th annual Wildflower & Music Festival took place at the Mount Pisgah Arboretum on May 17. The festival is co-hosted by the Native Plant Society of Oregon and Lane Community College. It featured live music, a plant sale, guided nature walks and hundred of native plant species on display.
