- A herd of 250 female goats arrived on the 800 block of Northeast 75th Street to graze on the brush. We can only hope that there’s still time to see them at work. [seattletimes]
- The members of Phoenix grew up listening to American music from the nineteen seventies and eighties, got together in a Versailles garage, and filtered their obsessions into a series of English language albums. Their first two records fused pop, soul, and electro influences; the latest veers toward jangly rock. If you remember the scene in Lost in Translation where Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson spend the evening partying in Tokyo to fend off melancholic angst, you know just how compelling it is to hear these influences run back and forth through a French prism. The band closes their North American tour with two shows tonight — a free in-store performance at Easy Street in Queen Anne [#] and later closing out the evening at the Crocodile. [#]
I hope someone can take before and after photos. It would be really funny to watch 250 goats in action. How long does such and endeavor take I wonder…
All I know is that a herd of 15 goats can clear 1/4 acre in one week. And here are some goats for hire I ran across on Vashon Island this summer.
