We’re girding our loins for Saturday’s Make Music Pasadena. [We even read up on how to gird your loins.] More than 150 bands, thirty-some venues, free, walkable … What’s not to like?

In preparation for Saturday’s festivities — which feature the likes of How to Dress Well, Nick Waterhouse, Sir Sly, Kishi Bashi, Hundred Waters, Kaleo, Caroline Smith, Lydia Ainsworth and Avid Dancer — we’ve made a 40-song sampler from artists appearing at MMP.

We’ve also compiled an updated listing of set times in good ol’ plain text, below. If you’re savvy you can make a custom schedule on DoLA. See you in the Crown City.
