This vid is trending today. It’s not the vocals or the groove in this Macklemore cover that’s winning over audiences, it’s Tori and Troi themselves, statuesque twins headed for stardom on looks alone and deservedly so. The matching thrift store furs add to the equation, don’t forget them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoy03Ye_2ys

A lot comes along between one’s early twenties and the midst of “thirtysomething” — careers, wives, children — but the spark of youthful, musical chemistry doesn’t always diminish over time. Some fourteen years and six albums after Left Hand Smoke made their first Seatown splash as local-radio darlings, the band certainly still has “It.” Through …
Public administration came into existence in the late 19th century in response to urban crises like the horse manure dilemma that defined 1894 (no, really, it was a serious problem). From there the role of public administrators expanded to encompass many other facets of life including access to water and transportation. Public administrators are also …
How this CD slipped out here in the U.S. is beyond me. This album displaced Adele atop the charts in the UK and has spawned several hits. There was no push for this on American radio. Emeli has a very mature voice and feel like she has an old soul. The themes here are very …

Short-term loans can be a life-saver when you’re a few hundred pounds short of what you need. The difference between the smart use of quick loans and the poor use of these loans lies in your reason for seeking the money. Short-term loans are meant to be used for emergencies and not every situation qualifies …
From the album Miracle Temple, out now on Merge Records, and if it’s on Merge, it has to be good.
It’s Sunday night and The Crocodile Café has some great ska happenin’… This time it’s New York’s The Slackers with Seattle’s Georgetown Orbits opening. Ooh la la! I’ve been in the Croc once since they remodeled and the pluses are better stage visibility and better use of the dance floor. But I miss the old …
Are you concerned about security? If you own or run a business, you should be. Even though business owners would like to think that they can trust their employees, the truth of the matter is this: Your employees may be stealing from you or each other. This can be especially true if you run a …
A couple of years ago, National Public Radio ran a story about people recalling what they had done on the day before September 11, 2001. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the story is that people actually recalled in detail what had happened that day, as opposed to September 11th itself. A few people, such …
Reverend Horton Heat & Jello Biafra Rile Up a Sold Out Crowd At Seattle’s El Corazon, By Holly Homan
Friday night and I’m back at Seattle’s El Corazon. This night it’s The Reverend Horton Heat and the legendary Jello Biafra headlining. Preceding are Huntington Beach punks Guttermouth. I arrived quite early, but about fifteen minutes before Spitting Cobras were to take the stage, hunger pangs began to overtake me, so I left the club, …

As many of you know, there has been a boycott started in the Seattle School district against the MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) test that is forced on students …
