Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like The dB’s are one of those bands that way more people have heard of, than have actually heard. (For instance, I think I first heard of them - and Young Fresh Fellows, for that matter — via the They Might Be Giants Song “Twisting.”) Which [...]

I’d imagine most music fans have a few fond memories of packing into a tight intimate club to get up close and cozy with a good rock show. Unfortunately, The Kills and The Raconteurs playing the WaMu Theater last Friday won’t be making for that kind of memory. There were a few [...]

This week, I am including the days William Shatner makes a few appearances. I don’t know if he is singing or not, but if he is it’s well worth watching. Also, Duffy will be making a few appearances this week, which should make DJ El Toro happy. The rest of the week is looking good [...]

Motley Crue rerun on Monday? How did I miss the original? What is going on with all the crappy shows this week? Did everyone overdo it last (awesome) week? There isn’t even anything good on SNL unless you like the best of Molly Shannon. We’ll just have to wait until next week for My Morning [...]

Pleasant memories flooded my mind when I heard that Damien Jurado and Jeremy Enigk were going on a two-week tour together this year. The news brought me back to a show I went to when I was about seventeen. 764-Hero was still a two-piece band (and is still a hotline to report people who [...]
A while back, DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist came through Seattle together on what they called “The Hard Sell Tour.” If you missed it, fear not. Pitchfork leads the way to the DVD release of The Hard Sell at the Hollywood Bowl. It includes the whole live show plus a lot of behind the scenes [...]
Following up with the news that about The Raconteurs‘ new record and their attempt to precluded an advanced album leak, it appears iTunes had some sort of programming error that caused the Consolers of the Lonely to be released a little early. For a brief while on Friday, it was available through the popular service [...]
If you are having a hard time finding out what went on at SXSW this past weekend, I don’t know what to tell you. I can’t even look at my RSS reader without seeing those four letters on every bit of news I read. KEXP was there (of course, haven’t you been listening!?!) as well [...]
Well, if you stopped by Youtube anytime on Friday, I am sure you saw that Sigur Ros had pretty much taken the place over. According to their website, they are the first band to ever release a full length documentary on Youtube. I’m guessing that to top that, somehow Radiohead will have to take over [...]
