It’s not really Sunday, but that’s the beauty of backdating posts. And to think, H.G. Wells went through all of that trouble.
How about a weekend update which provides a double whammy (a prize to anyone who got that cheesy game show reference) of music AND film. Say it with me fil-l-l-l-m.
Saturday was the Sasquatch Music [...]
So this isn’t the newest news ever. Excuuuuuse me.
Prompted by an interview in the Columbia Spectator with Vice Records GM Adam Shore, Stereogum took the liberty of holding a “You Might Be An Indie-Yuppie If…” contest. The original winner: “If your jeans cost more than an iPod, but your t-shirt cost less than a pack [...]
Today was a good day for music.
Sleater-Kinney’s new full length The Woods: a little more raucous, but still unmistakeably SK!
Gorillaz CD + DVD Demon Days: yes, yes, I know Damon is SO wonderful.
Death In Vegas’ last album Scorpio Rising was all over the place, more of a compilation than an [...]
It’s that time again and and the Seattle International Film Festival is in full swing. I’ve got my short list of must-see movies. Unfortunately that is not going to include Marebito the latest movie from The Grudge director Takashi Shimizu due to time conflicts. But I do plan on seeing a handful this time around:
McDull, [...]
The Nintendo Revolution was unveiled yesterday, on the heels of Xbox 360 and PS3. And now, the time honored debate over whether to buy the new Nintendo console for what amounts to a single game: Zelda: Twilight Princess?
I have a Gamecube that gets dusted off now and … well, never (it was permanently retired after [...]
A belated thanks to Dan way back at the beginning of April to confirm that the Faunts indeed signed to Friendly Fire and are due to release an album later this summer. In the meantime, you’ll just have to be content with hanging out at the site and listening to Memories of Places We’ve Never [...]
Where does the time go?
Last Thursday I hit the M.I.A. in-store at Sonic Boom (my home away from home) with Heff and Mark. The in-store was due to start at 7pm, but based on her show and in-studio at KEXP I was fairly certain this was not going to happen on time. Checked in at [...]
A message from Alan posted on the Low messageboards at Chairkickers.com:
dear friends,
the following is a lot of sentences starting with ‚Äúi‚Äù. i‚Äôve heard this is bad form and it tends to paint a very egocentric picture of the writer. good thing i‚Äôm a musician…
low has to cancel the shows we have booked in may [...]
If all else fails, at least you can always rely on the weekly Sunday night post.
For all of you non-Seattleites, I’ll indulge your ideas of the rain drenched Northwest. The rain has been coming down for several hours now. It’s of the maximum density, plop-plop variety and currently I can almost see the grass growing. [...]
Movies, movies, movies.
} Gus Van Sant’s latest Last Days
} Lars Von Trier’s Manderlay (a note: this link was not working at the time I posted, but it’s worth checking back for)
} Jim Jarmusch’s Broken Flowers: starring Bill Murray as Don Johnston who sets out on a cross country trek to track down four former lovers [...]
Although I don’t generally think of myself as a geek, I did have to grab Tiger as soon as it came out (in fact, I pre-ordered … wait, I AM a geek). I was pretty certain the new version was going to fix some small, yet horribly annoying things about Panther.
My new number one [...]
What a nice weekend it has been. Shortly before the weekend begins, I am inevitably faced with the usual staple of office chit-chat, “What are you doing this weekend?” (Outnumbered only by the ever popular Monday query “What did you do this weekend?”) And sometimes I have an elaborate plan. Other times, I just [...]
