Got an update from the folks at Lollapalooza today. They’re promoting the festival by giving away a 15 track sampler from iTunes. It’s pretty sweet – tracks from Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Deerhunter, White Lies […]
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 […]

Les Pattinson, the retired bassist for Echo and the Bunnymen, has been coaxed out of retirement to play two live shows for his mates, The Wild Swans. According to the Wild Swans website, “After a […]
I’m sure this unofficial Lisztomania video violates all sorts of copyrights, but it’s a wonderful romp through a great song using video footage of some of my favorite movies from high school. Evidently the savvy […]
Sasquatch is a dome deal for me. Back to Seattle tonight and then to SF in the morning. – Paige, live from the Sasquatch Music Festival Posted via email from thecolorawesome’s posterous

No, I’m not going postal on Bigfoot. I’m shipping my six-year-old off to the grandparents and then I’m flying north to help Phil celebrate his Birthday and then I’m headed to the Gorge to photograph […]
It’s Mother’s Day. What have you done for *your* mom lately? I almost peed my pants when I first saw this on SNL last night. Justin Timberlake is one funny guy. The cameos by Susan […]

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 […]
The first part of any year is pretty tough for new releases. Major artists generally don’t release much until February giving fans enough time to recoop financially from the holidays. As usual, I feel blessed […]
