On twenty second December I headed to Seattle’s Showbox to see Brian Setzer’s Rockabilly Riot concert. The last time I saw Brian Setzer live was with the Stray Cats in 1982 and 1983, and though I’ve been wanting to see him again, things never quite worked out. (I used to say he was the father …
This little guy is very cute. He’s a wolf in wolf’s clothing:
Peacock Lane, the Grotto and the Zoo Lights are all overrated. The best Christmas lights in the Portland area (and perhaps the world) are the free Starkwood neighborhood display. You may drive or walk through. Just about every house in the neighborhood is lit up and they’re beautiful together. To get there, just head north …
Here’s the 11 recordings I listened to most this year, which would be a small indication that they’re my favorites: – Explosions in the Sky: Take Care, Take Care, Take Care – Sigur Rós: Inni [Live] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcbLIO1bQ-Q – The Horrors: Skying – Bon Iver: Bon Iver – Washed Out: Within and Without – The War …
Here’s the Trololo Man now (2010). It’s important to see him now, this way we know he didn’t perish in a gulag or purge: And here he is “then,” the timeless moment when this international classic was recorded to TV:

I can’t come up with a Pop Culture Top 10 of 2011. I paid no attention this year, due to extenuating circumstances. My most memorable pop music experience occurred in April as I drove around my home town (Rochester, NY) the week of my mother’s funeral while the radio played the same songs it had …

Howdy Folks, I hope you are all well and that you have a survivable Holiday Season. I’m also not sure how many of you are familiar with the yearly Oxford American Southern music issue. It’s an annual issue of the “The Southern Magazine Of Good Writers” that focuses on music. This is the 13th year …
Thanks to Randy Rendfeld for this pic:
This is a sexy ad for a Belgian Organ Donation charity called Reborntobealive.be:
Friskis & Svettis is a Swedish health club. Norrköping is the tenth largest city in Sweden. It’s not clear why these flashmobbers chose to dance to Easter Gaga at Christmas:
“Ho Ho Ho’s will never be the same,” says Kelly Lichtenwaldt, drummer for Seattle band Quickie. He is talking about his band’s new Christmas video, “All I want for Christmas is a Ho Ho Ho!” “We’re tapping into our inner reindeer Ramones,” says Quickie’s lead singer Lou Trez. “The world needs to see that reindeer …
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEsEIJd7mp8 At this time last year, KGW’s Abbey Gibb was shivering in Spokane’s cold and laboring at that market’s woebegone NBC affiliate, KREM. She was just a recent San Diego State, Magna Cum Laude, Valedictorian, journo grad with a dream to anchor in the big leagues and a Society of Professional Journalists award for excellence …
