- In a shocking turn of events [mb] Paste (no really, it’s up to you) Magazine has decided that maybe Seattle’s music scene is actually irrelevant after all. [bigblog, everywhere except paste's site]
- Maybe Death Cab for Cutie isn’t snubbing Seattle on their spring tour. Then again, maybe they count “Sasquatch” as Seattle, which is actually further from here than Bremerton. [reverb]
- La blogothèque comes to Seattle, takes the Bainbridge ferry with Throw Me the Statue, shoots some (as usual) beautiful concert videos. [blogotheque]
- Holy scoop! Victrola soon to be under new Whidbey management. [seattlest]
AGENDORAMA: tonnes of great shows this weekend. Probably most notably is the Mountain Goats at Neumo’s. That one’s bound to be a regular sweat lodge of dudes singing along and getting in touch with their deepest hidden sentimentality. But maybe still worth it! [neumos] There’s also the semi-annual Great Lineup in a Weird Venue of BOAT, Menomena, and Blitzen Trapper who play tonight on campus at the University of Washington to celebrate the fifth [!!] birthday of RainyDawg Radio. (As a onetime campus technology funding bureaucrat, the half-decade survival of that student-run station fills me with pride and makes me feel old. Nicely done, big dreamers!) [UW]
What else are you up to, dearests?
I still prefer Ladro to Victrola. /snob
I would have put Ladro as the anti-snob establishment on that block!
My preference for Victrola is more about layout. The Ladro on 15th seems a little bit off in that department.
Good points on both aspects. Hmmmm. Mostly we buy whole beans from Ladro. It was closer to our last apartment than Victrola, so maybe that’s where the bias comes from.

Maybe they just uploaded it in the past 4 hours, but, if I go to http://www.pastemagazine.com, click on New Issue over on the left, it’s the first article on the page. (and in fact, they did just publish it today, so maybe it was some really freaky timing that everyone started talking about it less than a day after it was published on the website.
Not to mention I’m a bit irked at the PI’s "on newsstands Feb. 12 but nowhere to be found on their Web site!" phrasing. I mean, it’s a magazine that tries to, you know, make money. Why begrudge them the opportunity to not publish their print articles on the web a little after the magazine has hit the news stands.
Sorry, I’m flying into a fit of rage now. =)
