I’ve been kinda missing Wye Oak, so as a reminder, here is the lovely video for Holy Holy. Beautiful video too. – Mike Hughes Wye Oak – Holy Holy from Merge Records on Vimeo.
I so like this lot. I thought their last single was risking being a bit too heavy for the sake of heavy, but ‘Hate Smile’ is completely on the money from the 2 Sarahs and what appears to be a lazy-susan array of drummers. Blissed out, grunge, Ms Rose’s vocals floating in the wash. I …
From the Youtube description, “Mommy was not feeling well and had to stay in the bathroom longer than usual during which my two boys, ages 1 and 3 took my new bag of flour out of the cupboard and destroyed my house. This is from ONE 5lb bag. Don’t believe me? Hand a full bag …
I was thinking yesterday, “Wouldn’t it be nice to see a production of Handel’s Messiah this year?” Maybe. This clip is probably enough. No one has to hear the whole thing after seeing this clip which is described as, “A small church’s well-meaning but disastrous production of Handel’s Messiah.” http://youtu.be/dErA4RBFoik
Shut up boy and let’s get down:
The Neptune Theater in Seattle’s University District only just recently was converted into a live music venue. I’d been in it many times when it was a movie theater. The venue lends itself well for hosting live music. The seats on the main floor were removed making a large dance floor and the very back …
Being at a Peter, Bjorn and John concert reminds you of early Who or Kinks on Shindig or Beat Club. Music for the shimmy and the jerk. They’re very popular, but I don’t know why they’re not one of the most popular bands in America. – Steve Stav
Music historians rarely mention the Rats except when listing bands that Portland singer/songwriter/guitarist Fred Cole played in before Dead Moon. In fact, the Rose City’s alternative music scene of the early 1980s is mostly regarded as a footnote to the hype generated in Seattle a decade later. When former Dead Moon drummer Andrew Loomis invited …
This woman lives in Las Vegas. The accent is fake, but convincing for a while: How to Dance in a Club How to be a Kontrabida
Here’s a Swedish public service spot against alcohol. I don’t know why it’s in English:
Keith Olbermann’s a disciple of Edward R. Murrow, but I find his addition of wry humor to the latter’s delivery paradigm to be hit-and-miss, though he maintains an admirable batting average. In contrast to Keith’s surging, bellowing blasts of Mayor Bloomberg, Murrow laid into Joseph McCarthy with this remarkably calm determination that watchers at the …
On Thursday November 17 I left my place of work, a high school in North Seattle, and headed five miles south to the south end of the University of Washington. Today’s march was in honor of the second month anniversary of the Occupy Movement. As I approached the masses standing in the shadow of the …

Some incredible geese marching with their trained humans as escort:
She’s back. It’s horrible, of course, but I do like the phrase, “crime scene on the dance floor.”
http://youtu.be/_E3-_z5YP0M The preceding, historically significant, footage shows Robert Kennedy in Indianapolis on April 4, 1968 speaking to a crowd on a campaign stop shortly after learning of the death of Martin Luther King. Kennedy’s trenchant, moving comments were given very soon after King’s assassination. “[Kennedy] first heard that King had been shot while leaving Muncie, …
