It’s not too hard for me to pick which band at this year’s festival I’m most excited to see. Every record James Murphy puts out is better and better. The rumors that LCD are no […]
I’m actually a recent convert to The National. I guess they’re another one of those bands that got a bad rap among the high and mighty music press. I usually make my mind up about […]
Somewhere between my flickr account and here on The Color Awesome, I’ve received comments and messages asking about this piece. I love a good story, but I will try to make this one quick. Obviously, […]
Racist, sexist, homophobic and whacked out of their minds awesomeness. If any band gets booed off stage at this years Treasure Island Music Festival, it will be Die Antwoord. I hope Paige gets some good […]
Where were you twenty years ago? I’m sure some of you reading this weren’t even born yet. That makes me feel old! It’s hard to believe that it’s been twenty years since we first heard […]
There is chatter out there about giving away your e-mail address for a download. In a recent thread on School of Seven Bells’ facebook page, a radio programmer chimed in suggesting that it was a […]
Uh oh, it’s a new band crush. I came across Mirrors when I found out about them opening for OMD‘s upcoming tour. I instantly fell in love with the the b-side to their very good […]
Seattle represents again! There’s a ton of new music coming from the Emerald City and all genres of Capitol Hill’s music community are flourishing. The spotlight over the last year has been on Seattle’s Hip […]
Let me introduce you to my new band crush. Light Asylum are Shannon Funchess and Bruno Coviello from Brooklyn. If you think Brooklyn’s current output is a dime a dozen, you’ll have to think again […]
Well, it’s been a week now and I’m still reeling from Ariel Pink‘s show here in Seattle. I had heard reports from one Paige Parsons that their San Francisco gig just days earlier was a […]
Thee Satisfaction has done it again. Actually, it looks like they’ve done it twice; read on. It’s popular opinion around thees parts that Seattle is primed to roll back onto the international stage as a […]

Vince Clarke, forming member of Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure has revealed (foggy) details of a live Yazoo album. Clark and Alison Moyet hit the road nearly two years ago on their Reconnected tour. The […]
I just heard this on a Lenscrafters commercial. I had to put on the record just to double triple check that it was actually the Hunx and his Punx version. The comments section on youtube […]

I fell in love with this amazing video today! Michel Gondry has always taken a simple, human approach to his work, but this time may have outdone himself. It doesn’t have the fancy video editing […]
The lovely kids at PS22 on Staten Island are getting pretty popular these days. As of this morning, the PS22 chorus has received over 15 million hits on their youtube videos – 3 million alone in January of […]
Lali Puna is back after 6 years! Valerie Trebeljahr and her boys from The Notwist and Tied & Tickled Trio spent the end of last year getting the group back together. If you haven’t heard […]
Serena-Maneesh have joined the roster of perhaps the most influential independent label ever. The now 30+ year old 4AD has seen its share of ups and downs, and 2010 looks like a definite upswing. Besides […]
