It’s hard to believe every bit of hype you hear about bands these days. All these crazy blogs are dripping with overblown statements about how great the band du jour is – you can’t always believe […]
Dear Neil and Chris, The ticket I purchased to your upcoming performance in Seattle has just arrived! It’s been forever since I’ve seen a Pet Shop Boys show; in fact it was on the stunning […]
Phil will be spinning this Wednesday, July 22nd at a new monthly night called The Council at Seattle’s Bus Stop. The Council is the kind of night that’s been missing from Seattle for a while […]

So perfect!
As we mentioned back in April, the wonderful Air France were working on a remix for a secret band. I was a good boy and promised not to say who it was until it was official. We […]
I spent the last weekend with my gay brothers and sisters celebrating Gay Pride here in Seattle. I don’t usually celebrate with the crowds – it’s always too sunny and/or crowded and way expensive. This year […]

So you’re sitting at Six Arms on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. Fresh from a Sunday afternoon nap, ready for an IPA and some pub grub. Some girl who looks exactly like Deb Googe from My Bloody […]
I’m a huge fan of the Goodwill Dollar LP bin. You’ve seen those poor, deserted records – children’s learning LP’s, religious sermons and presidential speeches, hypnotism records to help you stop doing whatever it is […]
