J. Tillman releases live RockFeedback performance / tour dates!
Last month, we heard the news that J. Tillman’s next record will be out in September. If you can’t wait that long, however (A Year in the Kingdom is still set to come out on 9/22) you can get your instant beard love on here: RockFeedback has just released video of a full half-hour recording […]

J. Tillman: New album out 9/22, plus a preview track
Beard and all, I loves me some J. Tillman. Really. On his own, Fleet Fox-style, or backing up his brother Zach & the rest of Pearly Gate Music – whatever your personal taste may be, you've got to admit that this guy's got quite a bit of talent. While the most recent show at the […]

Tonight's recommended show: J. Tillman & Pearly Gate Music at the Crocodile
Wow. I mean, really. Wow. I'm not quite sure what to say about the show tonight at the Crocodile, or about how amazing this band is, besides You Need To Go and I Am Not Exaggerating. I caught Pearly Gate Music live on Audioasis two weeks ago down at KEXP, and these guys seriously knocked […]
Super group rumor Sunday night?
So now a little bird told me that TWO mystery Sub Pop guests will be appearing at the Sunset show on Sunday night. The whole thing starts at 4 PM but it could go into next week considering a LONG AGO signed S-P group will be appearing with the other mystery group later on. I […]
Mystery guests at Sunday Bloody Sunday
I almost hate to blog this, as I want to be able to go to this thing without it being stuffed way beyond capacity, but I cannot help but remind anyone who's heard about it and tip off those who hadn't yet: Once upon a time I loved a band called the Western States, and […]

Here's the scoop, straight from the bulletin: Hello friends, It's with a level of excitement known only to those who have won the Super Bowl, discovered DNA, or unearthed the Rosetta Stone that […]

Join us Chop Suey this SUNDAY for the Unscrew the Croc Employees Benefit
Even though we're in the midst of a celebratory time of year, the shock of the sudden closing of the legendary Crocodile Cafe is still with us. To help the stellar group employed there who found themselves suddenly without income, Chop Suey and Three Imaginary Girls have assembled a benefit show for those fine Ex-Croc […]

Best of 2007: Kyle Johnson’s top 10 songs
I normally listen to music while driving/riding my bike/working. During any of these activities, my mixes are super random and I’m a big fan of Shuffle mode on the iPod. Instead of listing off albums, I decided to share ten of my favorites songs from 2007, both local or otherwise. It was a great year […]
Help "Unscrew the Crocodile Employees" on Dec. 30
Let's face it, amongst the many pleasant things in this world, one thing NOT on that list would be getting a voicemail from your boss on a Sunday afternoon informing you that you no longer have a job. It sucks times ten during the holidays. Alas, such was the fate for the employees of our […]
