Best day of the year? Im thinking probably:

October 17

First, Margot and the Nuclear So and So's (my favorite band of the year) at the Paradox. Then, I sadly have to ditch out on seeing the always wonderful Elected to go see fucking Beirut and Hawk and a Hacksaw at the Crocodile. Sweet music overload, for freaking sure.

YES.

i might shit myself on September 18 when this premieres. Also, I might like TV shows too much.

Rule #1: Don't get drunk and proceed to listen to The National's Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers, possibly the most depressing album ever. Ever. It's just a bad/stupid idea ( Read more... )

Is anyone going to bumbershoot this year? It seems like a lot of you have abandoned this festival. Maybe it's because I was in LA last year during the festival, but Im so excited for it this year. Flatstock, good folk music, good hip hop. You can't ask for anything more ( Read more... )

Why I hadnt listened to Great Lake Swimmers much before today? Crazy! This stuff is right up my alley. Banjos, handclaps, string instruments, great vocals. Canadian! Strange, man, strange ( Read more... )

I bought Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' album, Naturally yesterday from Easy Street. It is fucking gold, man. She's performing at Bumbershoot this year, and its probably the performance Im looking most forward to. So funky. Check that shit out...

Seeing Snakes on a Plane tonight. Yah!lu

I'm going to hell for taking paer in this, but it's just too good not to do: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=54084Read more... )

After getting turned down for the job I interviewed for at the Showbox, Ive stepped up my job searching and have also widened my searching area. No longer is staying in Seattle my number one priority. Today, I applied for a few positions in New York, all of which I am qualified for. I hate to be jumping on the NYC bandwagon, as everyone I know ( Read more... )

2:15am on August 6, my birthday. Sipping good irish whiskey, watching Field of Dreams. God, I love both baseball and alcohol.

Today was a good day. The Velvet Teen fucking ruled, and the band This Song Will Destroy You, well, destroyed, and would have stolen the show if not for how good the Velvet Teen's Cum Laude! came off live. The Dodgers won ( Read more... )
