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...

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 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?

Bumbershoot is Coming...
Seattlites! The shoot is coming up fast and you haven’t even bought your tickets yet!

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...

The Tallest Man On Earth, Neumos, 9/9/10

His album came out with much critical acclaim and has been garnering him much popularity (as well as his touring with acts such as Bon Iver.) This time around, Kri...

Preview: Four Tet

In a genre defined and dominated by syncronicity, UK electronic artist Four Tet pushes and pulls at the groove to every so subtly to take you to edge of your head bobbing comfort zone. Having opened for the likes of Animal Collective, this now internationally renowned act is sure to please mainstream electroheads and experimentalists alike. Four Tet plays tomorrow 2/23 @ Chop Suey.
