FOUR TET Releases Exclusive Track For Upcoming... →
In the world of electronic music, Kieran Hebden (aka: Four Tet) is one of the good ones. Timeless, incredibly consistent, and impervious to trends, it’s always worth looking into anything new that is released with the Four Tet name stamped onto it. Highly respected as an innovator in his field since the late 1990s, albums like 2001‘s PAUSE -his breakthrough sophomore release under the Four...

The West Coast has it’s share of quality art museums. As for underground contemporary works, we have often found ourselves posting about 3 venues in particular: the pop-surrealism focused, ROQ LA RUE in Seattle, San Francisco-based Spoke Art, and Gallery 1988, with it’s dual locations in the Los Angeles area (Melrose and Venice). All 3 regularly venture into hosting group shows, but both...

Last month we posted a brief write-up, along with a ticket giveaway for The Belle Brigade, Dawes, and Blitzen Trapper show at the Neptune here in Seattle. The contest was super last minute and even more last minute was my decision to pop on over to the show and photograph it. My credentials came through that evening and I decided...

BUILT TO SPILL
City Arts Fest 2011
The Moore Theatre
Seattle, Wa
10.21.11
I first heard Built to Spill from across the hall in the dorms. When I lived in the dorms, I tried to keep myself off the radar. The natural manner that my floor mates had with group dynamics made it clear that they were the fittest Darwinian specimens and that I was going extinct. It came to a point where I, ...

CRYSTAL CASTLES
City Arts Fest 2011
The Showbox SODO
Seattle, Wa
10.20.11
Walking into the never-ending cavern that was October‘s Crystal Castles show at the Showbox Sodo, I knew that I was a part of something outside of the realms of modern reality; something primitive and thoroughly futuristic all at once. Everything about the experience seemed to be an oxymoron. From the 19-year-old...

[Preview] ABSOLUTE HAPPINESS: A Solo Exhibit by... →
Prior to October of last year, we had never even heard the name Serge Gay Jr. Since then, we’ve conducted/published an interview (March ’11) with the artist here on the site and I’ve personally purchased 2 of his works (an original piece and a giclee print). The last year has shown itself to be quite successful for Gay, finding him earning a Grammy nomination -shared with director/frequent...

Heroes And Villains: The Beach Boys’ SMiLE... →
I recently wolfed down a delicious $4.99 lunch combo at China First. When I was paying for my meal at the register, I heard a familiar song that I liked. It took me a few seconds to recognize what song it was, but I could tell immediately that it was a song that I knew and loved. One thing that I don’t particularly like to admit is that this song was “Kokomo.”
I have no problem admitting...

[CLICK HERE to jump directly to giveaway]
The first time that I saw an episode of PORTLANDIA it was after getting a heads up about it from a friend on Facebook. The IFC original comedy series was officially premiering on the network that week, but the debut episode was already up for free viewing online (we were actually going to embed the episode back then, but the screener was only...
