But this is: - Me + Yr Daughter [audio:http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/01-me-yr-daughter.mp3] - A little Thursday morning pick-me-up. Glistening Pleasure is out now, but you can listen to more here. - http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/27/natalie-portmans-shaved-head/ Well we may have initially encouraged everyone to get tickets to see TV on the Radio play the Showbox as soon as they went on sale, (as well you SHOULD have) but as it turns out good things come to those who wait(ed). - For today (Tues Aug 26th) only, the ... http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/26/tv-on-the-radio-tix-2-for-1-er-2-for-2/ I confess. - Janelle Monae had me before she even belted out a single note. Her costume, her hair, her demeanor, everything about here was stunning. An amazing talent. A little ball of energy...and then out came that VOICE. Holy Jeebus. - Her first 2 songs, which blend seamlessly into one another, are ... http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/26/i-am-in-love-with-janelle-monae/ Went and saw The Liars Club Saturday night at The Bit Saloon. Perfect place to see them. Seemed like their kind of crowd. - Interesting night all around...Monty Python references abounded--from the 'Spam' door stamp, to the "I Fart in Your General Direction" t-shirt the bartender wore. Didn't help that my buddy ... http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/25/a-club-of-their-own/ Don’t you just love it when you see some bands you know absolutely nothing about and you wind up having a great time? - I was excited to see Blackalicious and Sound Tribe Sector 9 at Marymoor Park only because it was a beautiful day and listening to music outside sounded downright ... http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/25/blackalicious-sts9/ Ok, so let's calibrate. We all know Bumbershoot is not what it used to be. It's not a funky little arts festival in a quirky little hippy town with manageable crowds, pick-up hacky-sack, and stoners gorging themselves on samosas and elephant ears (ok, it still might be that last one). ... http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/25/bumbershoot-dudes-bumbershoot/ I'm so sick of the term ‘post-punk'. It used to mean something. It began as an inextricable link to the murky machinations of the era that followed punk's golden age three decades ago. It was a gloomy, intellectual answer to the brazen, self-righteous dignities of London's underground hardcore scene. Manchester, ... http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/25/no-you-listen-strange-symmetry-by-past-lives/ Hey dudes, your favorite punk band from Portland, owners of bouncy hair, jaded views of institutional Christianity, and several orange t-shirts have come forth with some new details regarding their 4th LP, allegedly due in the Spring of 2009. Last time they played here in Seattle, they dropped the hint ... http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/23/new-album-details-from-the-thermals/ Last night, The Seattle Subsonic Happy Hour at MOE Bar went over like a Twinkie at fat camp. The turnout was good enough to warrant this becoming a monthly event, the next happening Thurs Sept 18th and then the third Thurs of each following month. Mark it down! Do it! - It ... http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/22/happiness-is-a-cheap-beer/ Hello there. Here are some new developments from some of the bands you and I have been tracking recently. Some are local, some are not, all may be worth your time...that is, if your time is valuable. If you've got some sort of lazy/sloth/no-energy thing goin' on, I can't help ... http://www.seattlesubsonic.com/2008/08/20/new-music-wednesday-round-up/
