• Bumbershoot Picks for Sunday

    Written By Dan Paris So, you’re going to Day Two of Bumbershoot. I’m assuming you are going all three days, because you love your city that much and you love this 40-yr-old tradition (aren’t you sweet.) So when are you going to show up? In other words, what time can you make it out of bed today? I say you can make it there by 1:15 to catch either Sweet Water or Horse Feathers. The former is a little louder, so ...

  • Bumbershoot Picks for Saturday

    Written By: Josh Aubin Saturday is the kickoff of Bumbershoot, and it looks like it will be in a simple word, amazing. If anything, get ready for a sensory overload or a breakdown because there’s just too much happening.

Like I said: Not. Normal. Yet the porn-watching public (i.e. eve...

  • Bumbershoot is Coming...

    Seattlites! The shoot is coming up fast and you haven’t even bought your tickets yet! Well most of you haven’t… The rest of you, well you are just shining examples of how organized we should all try to be (I bet you never miss an email, or lose your keys, or forget to call someone back; I hate you.)

  • Social Media’s Effect on How We Receive Music

    Written by @KenoComberbun Right now I’m torn between Artists’ Twitters, Facebooks and Blogs having a negative or positive impact on how we are alerted to new music. In the past we’d read magazines in order to find out when new music was released, local hustlers would show up in barber shops or in front of schools with the latest bootlegs of new music samples. I remember lining up in front of The Wiz or Sam Goody w...
