“All this machinery making modern music can still be open hearted,” is a lyric from “The Spirit of Radio” by Rush and has always been sort of a guilty pleasure. Saint Etienne cleverly sampled […]
Vetiver played the Great American Music Hall last night. All Shook Down, The SFWeekly music blog, has a review , as does SFist and SFist has pictures, too!
If you’ve never been to the Treasure Island Music Festival, you’ve been missing out. This two-day boutique music festival is small enough to be manageable, but big enough to bring in the big names, and […]
I was a big fan of The Silver Sun Pickup’s debut, Carnavas. So I’m been eagerly anticipating their sophomore album, Swoon. MTV is streaming Swoon a week in advance of it’s release on the 14th. […]
Spring has sprung! It’s the season for renewal and rebirth. Don’t believe me? Check out the plethora of new music-related releases this week. Where possible, I’ve provided links to purchasing these new albums online. I’ll […]
Isn’t it ironic that Sirius XMU‘s weekly “Download 15” playlist is nowhere to be found on the internet. Even OUR OWN thecolorawesome post about last week’s download 15 is nowhere to be found on the […]
Holy crap! This one is great. On Thanksgiving 2008, Erik played me some music from a 70’s porn he had found. It’s crazy and you’ll want to listen to it over and over again. It […]
The Faunts are a five-piece hailing from Edmonton, Canada. Paul Arnusch, Rob Batke, Steven Batke, Tim Batke, and Scott Gallant make some lovely electro-pop. Enjoy this track! Faunts – Feel.Love.Thinking.Of listen | purchase | visit […]
Indie cutie Alex Brown Church gave us a progress update on the new Sea Wolf LP this week. “We’re heading to Omaha, NE at the end of April to record the next album! This time […]
Confession time; I’m a huge Death Cab for Cutie fan. I’ve seen them perform in a variety of settings over the past five years. Most recently I’d seen them two months ago at the Filmore. […]
SO magical watching this tour take shape. It was a 1 1/2 hour set, beginning with Bixby and ending with Transatlantacism. They were perfect bookends to the set. I thought Ben’s energy dragged a little […]
I designed and directed this 8 minute video for Death Cab for Cutie’s I Will Possess Your Heart about a year ago. Since then, it’s gotten over 200,000 views on youtube. Unfortunately Warner Music decided […]
Both Phil and I heart Jens Lekman. I’m positively giddy to report that he’s coming back to the US in late May/early June for “The North American Pacific Coastline Tour”. New York City, eat your […]
I recently had the pleasure of enjoying an evening of music at The Comet here in Seattle. You never know what you’re going to get at some shows. I’ve been underwhelmed by some local bands […]
Yet another music video I put together using pictures from a recent Fleet Foxes concert. Animoto.com makes putting these videos together a snap. Enjoy!
Best April Fool’s Joke… EVER. A Tauntaun sleeping bag. I’d buy one! The crazies at ThinkGeek.com have pre-imagined this accessory which will probably be more popular with adults than the kiddos. That’s if G-Luc can stop […]
As the mom of a six year boy, I spend a lot of time building with LEGOS. So my interest was piqued when I discovered these campy LEGO recreations of album covers over at The […]
I find it particularly ironic that Sirius XMU‘s weekly “Download 15” playlist is nowhere to be found on the internet. Zero, zip nada. I couldn’t even find a text list of the tracks, let alone […]
This song was part of an old Live 105 compilation called Noisy Neighbors. I’ve researched Emerald Transmission, and there’s nothing out there except this song. It’s from 1995 and sounds like something Hooverphonic or múm […]
