Holy shit finally you can take the damn light rail to the east side on March 28th!

Chris from Kinski joins a stellar lineup at Easy Street Records for a set of Rick Fröberg's music + panel discussion this Sunday in Seattle celebrating the release of the incredible compendium "Plenty For All," out now courtesy Akashic Books. Free and all ages! easystreetonline.com/InStores

If you'd told me 5-10 years ago that Jafar Panahi and the guy who made FROWNLAND were gonna have a bunch of Oscar nominations in the same year I would have laughed in your face

Hey dork, I drove an hour throw a snowstorm in early January to see THE THIN RED LINE on opening weekend

I think about the ending of The Leftovers on at least a weekly basis.

Did not think non-functioning Behringer mixer was going to become the two-year olds current favorite toy, but it is full of knobs and buttons and a slider

Saw someone familiar walking towards me in DUMBO and just as I realized it was David Cross and my partner was about to ask if it was him, he saw we recognized him and he put his head down and walked past us as quickly as possible

Did the IKEA cutting board turntable stand thing and so far it seems to be holding up to constant toddler zooming

How am I just finding out there's a couple guys making kids music who recorded with Albini (and Taylor) and they play EGCs and Travis Beans???? How are they not already dudes I know?

The Eyes Wide Shut Criterion 4k was sold out everywhere on line but I found a copy at a local Barnes & Noble, XMAS IS SAVED

Does Yo La Tengo get to leave their gear setup for the whole Hanukkah run of shows, or does the venue insist they breakdown and load out each night?

I guess I’m glad my mom likely doesn’t know about TikTok

Never had AOL so 19/20 (and I still use checks for our daycare every month)

I don't think I've EVER seen a flash flood warning for this part of King County

I’m a few weeks late but this Pere Ubu needle drop in The Chair Company was great www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9SD...

These are Neurosis lyrics

The 8xLP Velvet Underground Matrix Tapes box set should count

Pretty great footage of Bedhead from 1998 on an Italian TV show. Kinda nuts. This band was so goddamn GREAT. youtu.be/yPOHa_T8LLM?...

Best sticker I’ve run into around town in quite a while

Paging @numerogroup.bsky.social eventually you know you’ll want to reissue Bellingham’s heavy slow core cornerstone The Narrows, the only band that sounded like how a damp northwest basement feels

One of my most hated music things is when a rock band writes a “jazzy” song (the Cure’s “Lovecats”, Replacements’ “Nightclub Jitters”), come on, leave the upright bass and brushes at home

Still kinda regret not hijacking the aux cable at our baby shower and making everyone sit quietly for 19 minutes while we listen to “Junior Dad” www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a9S...

Absolutely this is influenced by how often “Yellow Submarine” gets played on the kiddo playlist (all the songs are on that)

"$35 and a coat bath to my name/COAT BATH"

With new records from Mint Mile and PLOSIVS coming out on the same day, it’s a great release day for some of my favorite musicians still making great art 30+ years after I first heard their respective work

Played an all ages show last weekend and besides my band, and the two bands we knew ahead of time, pretty much everyone in a band or in the crowd was under 24, and there was ~75 people who paid, the kids can definitely be alright (and all wear the baggiest pants possible)

Unfortunately this, at least until someone makes a Bryan Kohberger film

OH SHIT, GET ON YOUR HM2s AND RIDE

This new Huskers box set is really great, the 1/30/85 show is probably a better introduction to them then any of the studio albums, and all the Candy Apple Grey material in the second half slays the album versions

New PLOSIVS album unsurprisingly rules, first song might be the chonkiest thing Reis has been on since "Luau", and overall it sounds a little less Hot Snakesy than the first album

Been saving this for over a week, congrats to our new mayor!

It is now Wikipedia official en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_W...

Congratulations to Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social I’m looking forward to working together in building a city that is affordable, safe, and thriving for working families!

And @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social jumps out to a much bigger lead with today's ballot drop -- from 91 votes yesterday to 1,346 today! Hard to see Harrell coming back now!

HOLY SHIT

Katie Wilson now trails Bruce Harrell by 4,300 votes in Seattle's mayoral race, cutting her deficit by more than half following Friday's drop that added approximately 57,000 ballots to the tally. Harrell - 116,435 (50.74%) Wilson - 112,135 (48.86%) Next results update Monday.

This must be 2004/5, definitely early tour stop in Chicago.

I want Katie Wilson to win as quickly and expeditiously as possible, but I also want Bruce Harrell to lose as slowly and painfully as possible

When you’re at the hardcore show trying to ignore the pit next to you

Always magical to see King County ballot sorting at work! This is in the mail-in/dropbox-only voting state of Washington.

Worth noting that the KC ballot return stats already show there are ~60k ballots that haven't even been included in last night's results, and those haven't been refreshed since 6PM last night (and drop boxes didn't close till 8PM).

Just remembered an Xmas at my ex-in-laws in Casper, WY. They had a family friend who helped them out with money and gifts to my youngest SIL, including a signed copy of Dick Cheney's book, as they were good friends with the Cheney clan. All I could do to not start ranting on Xmas morning.

Someone got to be Dick Cheney for 84 years, unfortunately for the rest of the world

Anyway, Dick Cheney is a fossil fuel now. It's what he loved most. Besides killing.

Always nice when you come across a video from a show you were actually at and it's as good as you remembered (and sounds and looks pretty good for a 15 year old iPhone video; also pretty sure that's @coreyjbrewer.bsky.social in the thumbnail behind Funds)

Oh hey, finally searched and found a recording of the first time I saw Neil live in 1999. Crowd is about as loud and raucous as I remembered (and I don't think the crowd when I saw him solo in Chicago in 2014 was hooting and hollering nearly as much)

Goddamn!

Honestly still semi shocked that every original member of KISS outlived every original Ramone
