Thanks to my extremely close relationship with each member of Tullycraft, I’ve been lucky enough to listen to their latest batch of songs on repeat for a while now. I’ve been counting the days until I get to discuss the band’s new songs with you and so I’m overjoyed to finally make a huge headline […]
Interpol’s last attempt at experimenting, their 2010 self-titled, face planted. During the recording of that record the band’s bassist Carlos Dengler left the group and the three remaining members salvaged what they could from those sessions. It’s not a terrible album, it just doesn’t hold up alongside the rest of the group’s discography. El Pintor, […]
The Seattle Pop Punk Festival {January 10-13, 2019} is more than your usual weekend of great music and festivities – it also includes a limited edition 7” release, Dim Sum, and amazing sets by tons of bands, including the return of some of the Pacific Northwest’s most notable and important bands. (1) The release of […]
I know I’m not the only one who thinks 2018 has been one of the most challenging years as of late. Thankfully, there are a bunch of albums and songs and things that helped me smile now and again. Let’s stop trying to wax poetic about lessons learned or about hopes and dreams for 2019 […]
I’m just going to start by saying that yes, Aquaman is incredibly dumb. Yet I was still weirdly into it and ended up getting swept away (HAHA) on its wave (haaaaaaa) of fun. Right from the opening narration detailing how Arthur Curry’s mother and father meet, you know exactly what kind of cheese-filled action you’re […]
I like the rock and roll. I go to a lot of shows — 137 this year. I stand up front because it’s fun and have no shame because I’m old. I take pictures with a cell phone or point and shoot camera so I don’t forget the feeling. Live music is important in normal […]
Remember when the “news” made claim that a Christmas song by the Shins had overtaken Mariah Carey’s holiday anthem as the “the most played holiday song?” Although I love the Shins, their version of a Paul McCartney holiday song, and the idea of it being the #1 holiday song, I’ve always been a tad suspect. […]

It’s not a particularly rare event these days when Echo and the Bunnymen perform live in Seattle. In fact, the band has had concerts in town four times during the last five years. In 2017, they played as part of summer’s Zoo Tunes series at the Woodland Park Zoo. That setting isn’t remotely appropriate for […]

Last week I found myself the farthest from the stage I’ve ever been at a Los Campesinos! show. I couldn’t see much, but it didn’t matter; I was there to hear a bunch of my favorite songs and jump & dance like nobody was watching (which I find easier to do in the back of […]
The fellas at Seattle’s Worst Podcast recently invited me to their garage to be a part of their latest episode!!! If the episode title doesn’t give it away, we had an absurdly fun chat. We talked about real estate, Seattle stuff, aaaanndddd a possible activity to try out when my mom visits Seattle this week. […]
