Cavalcade for May 25

After sopping wet week, let's go camping! ("Sopping" is a grandma admonishment of my youth as in: "Get in the house, you're sopping wet, all sweated!"). Or at least discover songs in a woodland ramble, where Bon Iver and José González share a toadstool with Laura Mvula, Donovan, and Talk Talk. Not beach weather yet, but the great outdoors is a good "Cavalcade choice" for this holiday weekend.
