The Muses are returning to Seattle for their annual St. Patrick's Day trek through the Pacific Northwest. They're playing several shows in the area, including ( Read more... )

I *just* found out that The Pogues are playing not one, but two shows in Seattle next week. One on the 17th and one on the 18th, both at 8PM. Unfortunately, I'll be in VA on the 18th, and if I were to go to the show on the 17th, I'd miss my flight. The last time I had a close call like this was when I was in London my senior year at Antioch. I had ( Read more... )

I used to swear up and down that I hated Tori Amos. I don't know that I ever just sat down and listened to one of her albums all the way through. Until now. And you know what? I think I kind of like her...

Seattle-area Folks,
My old college chum Tanya will be in town with The Muses (now a trio!). There’s a schedule on their website http://www.renaissancechic.com/, but it’s not 100% accurate (it’s missing a few dates, I think). ( Local line-up behind the cut )

OK, so it may not be new to some (most) of you, but it's new to me. verdant-rhythm clued me in to KT Tunstall last week, and now I'm completely hooked! zomgwtfbbqftw she's awesome! I've been watching videos of her performing on YouTube.com, and Saturday I went and bought her CD. I was cursing my lack of fingernails, as I had a hell of a time getting the wrapping ( Read more... )

I'm currently listening to The Crossing. Yes, Big Country's first album!

A few days ago, I started listening to old Joy Division. Found one of my old cds and popped it into the player in my car. Today at work I've wandered further back, listening to Bauhaus, and The Damned, and have finally arrived at Kate Bush's first album The Kick Inside from 1978. To my ears, though, it doesn't sound old. And then I discovered that ( Read more... )
