Tuesday night, October second, the legendary Joe Jackson played Seattle’s Moore Theater. I doubt anyone in this near sold out crowd was under the age of forty. This was a crowd who was well educated, had probably followed Jackson’s career from the get-go, and was very enthusiastic. The show began with just Jackson on electric …
PORTLAND, Ore. – Mash-up the Mad Max upcycling aesthetic with the gruelingly hilarious face-off of “Iron Chef,” add some of that quirky “Portlandia” flair, and you’ve got SCRAP’s annual Rebel Craft Rumble. Contestants will compete in front of a live audience to earn the title of Portland’s Craft Master at Rebel Craft Rumble on October …
Here’s an excellent graphic with Midday Veil’s West Coast Tour Schedule. Below are the three official videos and an improvisational session from Soundcloud. Enjoy. More information is available at www.MiddayVeil.com Here’s their brand new video, “Choreia”: Here, from Soundcloud.com, are some improvised recordings made inside the INTEGRATRON, an acoustically perfect wooden dome situated on a …
The latest from Jesse Sykes: “We are so excited to be playing (as a FULL band!) in Seattle at our old stomping grounds, The Tractor Tavern, on Thursday, Nov. 8th!! Joining us are the amazing Rose Windows – only 10 bucks! Also, we will be in “Big Sur” on Sat. Oct 27th (duo show) and …
Cuban-born percussionist Candido Camero, the man credited with bringing the conga to Jazz in the 1950s and who later enjoyed some success in the disco era, will be performing with friends at Seattle’s Jazz Alley (2033 6th Ave, Seattle) Oct. 18th to 21st, as part of a series of concerts celebrating his life and work. …
An insurance rider does not exist as its own separate policy, rather, as the name suggests, it is added to an already-existing policy in order to amend the existing policy in some way. The amendment does not necessarily mean that it is adding coverage to the policy. In fact, you can get an insurance rider …
As fine a Byrds rip as “American Girl“, sans doubt! – Tom Kipp
It’s been nearly a year since the debut of Ben Howard’s Every Kingdom album and less than that introducing the young Devon, UK native to American audiences. But already the evidence of his success is clearly visible. The more obvious signs are his sold-out gigs and teams of Ben fans cropping up on social media, …
Amazing. Uncanny. Unlike anything I’ve ever heard. Ya gotta listen. – Peter Stampfel
Father John Misty’s record Fear Fun is hands down one of my favorites of this year! – Marco Collins is currently rocking at JetCitystream.
There are two version of this song, “The Saturday Kids” AND “Do You Remember (The Saturday Gigs)”. Similar but different lyrics and slight difference in the arrangement like where the organ comes in and whatnot. Compare the two songs and you’ll see that they’re not exactly the same and “The Saturday Kids” is the less …
“Would you believe in a love at first sight?” “Yes, I’m certain that it happens all the time.” “What do you see when you turn out the light?” “I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine.” Once in a while, you need a “Beatles day” – and Sunday was one of those days. One …
TK, I ran across this piece by Sean Beaudoin at Salon.com. It’s a list of the bands he will be forced to listen to in hell: http://www.salon.com/2012/07/11/the_ten_bands_i_will_be_forced_to_listen_to_in_hell_salpart/ Top ten lists are nothing new—but there was something a little different about this one. Beaudoin just seems to center on the bands/artists he despises the most from …
It is estimated that there are roughly six million children abused in the United States every year. These statistics become more staggering when you consider that five children a day die in abuse-related deaths. Approximately 80 percent of child abuse deaths are children younger than four years old, but there is something you can do …
Where did it come from? Ignoring “Day by Day” (from the Godspell movie soundtrack; #13 on the Hot 100—and, yes, let us please ignore it in perpetuity), 1972 was hardly a high water mark of religious themes in pop music. And as fellow EPBer Mark Hjelm suggests, “Supper’s Ready” does not appear to have sprung …
Repair Costs and Theft Risks Boost Insurance Premiums. If you’re driving a Bentley, of course, you pay far higher insurance premiums than the guy beetling along beside you in an old Volkswagen bug. You may not, however, pay substantially more than the guy ahead of you in the Escalade or the guy behind you in …
The City Winery in Chicago (Racine and Randolph) is a fine new venue for seeing music. Their menu is more obscure (to my uneducated mind and palate) than the Hopleaf‘s but the intimacy and quality of sound are first rate. Nicholas Tremulis opened the show and I was pleasantly surprised by how well an acoustic …
In an always-bizarre and forever-endearing bit o’ serendipity, the last great Beach Boys LP, in fact the best one since either WILD HONEY or SUNFLOWER to this very day, and the 70s album most dominated by Brian Wilson, was THE BEACH BOYS LOVE YOU, released in April 1977, just as The Sex Pistols were gettin’ …
If you need urgent care in West Chester, first impressions can make a huge difference in your overall experience. Medical situations can make anyone feel ill at ease, particularly when they’re in a strange environment. Here are a few tips on how you can make your urgent care experience much more bearable. Start Learning in …
Well, yeah, I get the message, but it’s a bit unrealistic. I mean it would be a good way to show that unions are responsible for making this actiion illegal. Then the band comes on and I can’t understand a word they say. They’re just screaming at me. Screaming in my opinion is not a …
Some high school friends and I put together a music anthology to celebrate turning 50. It was a 5 CD set of songs that come out when we were in high school. I did the mix and the accompanying essay. It to me (with some help) represented about a year’s worth of research to put …
The vid is mondo clever and the tune is primo catchy. Both are satisfying in a manner reminiscent of Cee Lo Green’s “F*** You.” For more Go Radio info go here.
Of course, the video below doesn’t begin to compare with the recently posted version where the Stones rock out on their own tune, still, the antic rascality unfurled when bony little Leo Sayer puckishly proffers “fever in the bunkhouse” to the statuesque baby doll Linda Ronstadt has charms of it’s own. He enjoys himself so …

It is said that a Football game has approximately 4 minutes of action in it. Baseball, surprisingly, a bit more. So when you see the highlights of a game, you are actually watching a significant portion of the action of the game. But part of the thrill of watching the game is not knowing when …
Seattle’s intimate Sunset Tavern was the place to be Friday and Saturday nights (Sept. 22 & 23). Officially this was two nights of fun in honor of the release of the new Young Fresh Fellows album Tiempo De Lujo. What it really was was a big party with the YFF headlining two shows with many …
The music of Charles Mingus is famously powerful, complex, and energetic. Of the many fine albums he recorded, Mingus Ah Um (1959) is unique in that the vitality of the music is expressed with an unrelenting sureness of purpose and a masterful control. Every note seems placed precisely where and how it should be and …
Gritty, vibrant, haunting. I want to set a hook for Paul K – make it easy to give him a listen. Paul K has never put out music that was not worth listening to, but Love is a Gas (anagram for I heart Vegas) is more listenable than most of his offerings. For those who …
Happy Birthday Jesse Ed Davis! R.I.P. ♥ He played the guitar solo [and fills] on this. It was a first take gem. I met Jesse in 1983 when I was playing with Norton Buffalo at The Palomino Club in L.A. He was sitting by himself at a small table in the back, by the wall. …
