Thanksgiving is all about coming to the homeland and taking time with family, and this year many of our town’s recent favorites and up-and-comers are doing just that by joining forces to keep a usually quiet weekend very entertaining.

Those of us who have lived in northern enough climes to experience snow in our winter months are the ones who can, I think, most perfectly relate to the mood of Lee & Willbee’s debut album North Carolina. A dichotomy of cold and warm permeates the album, much like the shiver of reality ...

It’s almost Thanksgiving. Woooo ooooo oooo. I can already smell the burning, dead bird and the aluminum rank of cranberries from a can. Clap your hands everybody, it’s a goddamn celebration.

Those Darlins seem like a trio of chicks who probably shotgun PBR tallboys for breakfast. Considering our state’s draconian liquor laws they likely shotgunned two of ‘em before they stepped on the Chop Suey stage Saturday night. Young though they ...

I’m still vacillating on my Atlas Sound/Deerhunter thoughts. Still trying to really grasp (after a near prolific couple of years of production) Bradford Cox’s objective with these two interconnected musical experiments. I’m not always a fan, but always find myself curious ...

Goldfinch specializes in the neglected art of the duet. Their sound straddles the sad sides of twang and folk, where the lyrics and the warm marriage of Grace Sullivan and Aaron Stevens’ vocals are laid bare by simple instrumentation. There is nothing flashy about Goldfinch’s style ...

While this video isn’t new, it is new to me. It was posted on YouTube in July, but before five minutes ago, I’d somehow never seen it. It’s the musical equivalent of finding a $20 bill in the pocket of a pair of old blue jeans.

Sad news for the Skeleton Army, Schoolyard Heroes is returning from the grave from whence they came. The band has just announced their break up and final show on their website.

There’s been a lot of MJ love being bandied about in light of his tragic, though always looming, death. Which is great, MJ was the King of Pop (self-proclaimed as that title was) and he deserves an internet-crippling amount of grief. But in the muddled tears of all this missin’ MJ, ...

First off, big thanks to the man, the plan Strath Shepard (he of the amazing blog Pacific Standard) for turning me on to this, something I believe I’d never be invested in ever again - a Northwest hip-hop group. Not turning the hate hose on to the fertile hip-hop scene that grows and ...

Being a legit indie rocker involves carefully managing one’s fragility factor. You’ve got to be a real person and you’ve also got to be sensitive. But you’ve got to be above it all enough to write accessible songs about your experience and ...

Things I know about The Almighty Defenders:
1. It is a combination of near-huge The Black Lips and ever rising, ever surprising duo King Khan & The BBQ Show.
2. It was recorded in a rumored week, after The Black Lips fled India after showing dick, balls, man-kissing, and a handful more to ...
