• 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...

  • 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 ...

  • We Are Scientists Interview

    Chris Cain and Keith Murray had the glorious chance to sit down with us just prior to their July 28th show at Neumos. These guys were a lot of fun. If you've seen them before, you know about their unfettered persiflage, and they did not dissapoint in this interview. Here are some pics from the show as well... Oh, and a special thanks to the guys for taking the time for us, too.

  • 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. If you can wake up early enough, head to the Broad Street Stage at 12:30 for The Submarines, a fun-songwriting duo from LA. After that make it to the State Farm stage for The Constellations at ...

  • 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.) Anyway, this year has a great lineup! Bob Dylan is headlining Saturday! The man himself! Oh I bet the hippies no...

  • The Modern Blowjob

    Written By: The Anthropological Dater Porn has ruined blowjobs. You see – people who do porn are not normal. They are sexletes. They copulate for hours. They employ a myriad of complicated sexual positions for the benefit of the viewing audience. They gnaw on each other’s genitals like a ravenous baby wolves. They bleach their buttholes. Like I said: Not. Normal. Yet the porn-watching public (i.e. eve...

  • People Under The Stairs, Neumos, 9/12

    Written By: Josh Aubin Hip-hop has been evolving quickly over the years. The beats, the icons, the matter at hand; it’s all been changing right before our eyes in such subtle ways it can get hard to notice until you step back and look at the grand scheme of it all. And where are the People Under The Stairs in all of this? Right at their roots where they want to be. It’s been a long road for Thes One and Double K, r...
