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 […]
Sea Wolf recently recorded a twenty minute, five-song set for Shock Sessions. It’s particularly exciting because this session includes their first live performance of the Violet Hour, their song from the Twighlight New Moon Soundtrack. […]
As if we didn’t like The Twilight Sad’s “Seven Years of Letters” already, we’re truly smitten after seeing the new video. It’s directed by Adam Stafford and produced by Accidental Media. I’ve seen a few […]
Seattle coffee roaster Caffe Vita in collaboration with 30+ Seattle artists, businesses and nonprofits has released GIVE, a downloadable music and video compendium to benefit Arts Corps, Seattle’s largest nonprofit arts educator, along with Ballard […]
As we reported back in August, Death Cab for Cutie has been tapped to provide the first single from the New Moon Soundtrack. ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ premiered last month on the MTV Music […]
Bernard Sumner is a busy bloke these days. Not only is he working with a new band that includes Phil Cunningham and Jake Evans, he also reveals he’s got a new synth-based LP in the […]
It’s that time of year again. The kids headed back to school yesterday, and I’ve got a bushel of extra hours to myself. I tend to fill my days obsessively processing pictures, searching out new […]
Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) and Jay Farrar (Son Volt) will continue their Jack Kerouac adventure by literally taking it on the road in October with a touring band comprising Nick Harmer (Death Cab), […]
I had thought Death Cab For Cutie were going to perform their new song from New Moon Soundtrack song, “Met Me on the Equinox” live on the VMA’s last Sunday. When they didn’t, I was […]
I’m in an 80’s sort of mood today, and this uber-extended remix of Empire Of The Sun’s “We Are The People” by Golden Filter reminded me of the extended remixes of Depeche Mode, Dead or […]
The year in music has been going pretty smoothly. In fact, another look at my first quarter check up shows it may be going just alright. The only full-length album I’m still listening to from the first […]
So perfect!
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 […]
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 […]
Claire Grogan and I would like to wish Phil a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Stop by The Bus Stop in Seattle tonight if you’d like to wish him well in person. See you there! Here are a […]
For years I’ve been watching Subterranean on MTV2, and before that, the original 120 Minutes. Much like Sirius XMU’s “Download 15” playlist, I don’t understand why these playlists aren’t archived online, so I’ve taken it […]
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 know my mom needs one of these. How about yours? Another great commercial from SNL.
Here at the Color Awesome, we’re all about indie pop and we love local artists and festivals. So you can imagine I’m ever so happy to tell you about the San Francisco Popfest 2009, May […]
So I’m home sick with the flu. It’s amazing what you’ll find trolling the web mindlessly for hours. Evidently Chris and Nick of Death Cab for Cutie stopped by CNN yesterday to chat about all […]
Gary Hustwit, Director of Helvetica, the documentary about typography, graphic design and global visual cultre, is at it again. His newest project, Objectified, explores industrial design and the manufactured objects we surround ourselves with on […]
Mother’s day is Sunday. Looking for a mother’s day gift for mom? How about some mom jeans? A classic from SNL.
For years I’ve been watching Subterranean on MTV2, and before that, the original MTV alternative/indie music video show 120 Minutes. While YouTube has lessened the impact of video shows like Subterranean, I still like to […]
My Bloody Valentine is playing Seattle today. I know Phil is on cloud nine. I’m really happy that I’ve finished writing my Fleet Foxes review and I’m off to see Laurie Anderson tonight. Today’s a […]
