I want to know more about Oddities. They’re a group from Canada. Affiliated with Battle Axe. Have they played here? Anybody like them? Hate ‘em? I met some guy here in Seattle that says he’s with their crew, and he’s here to learn more about music engineering (aka school, the program at Shoreline). He gave [...]
I saw No. 13 Baby last night. We went out for my best friends’ b-day (Happy 23!). Pixies cover/tribute band; I’ve never been a big Pixies fan. I doubted a friend when he told me that they were better than the original band. But he was right.
Rock. Good, talented rock. Some punk, some classic, some [...]
Boom Bap played at EMP on Flava Wednesday this week. Expensive, weak drinks were made up for by a dope free show from these guys.
I liked it. I’m a little biased because I worked with Dialog a few years back, and he was the only guy in the spot I got along with. But despite [...]
Junkies shooting up, tweakers obviously trying to steal, kids with Spare Change signs; oh how Broadway loves me.
Rainbow flags and signs, tattoos and clothes, peanut gallery sidewalks; oh how Broadway loves me.
Skating, walking, strutting; oh how They love Them.
Friends, strangers, schizos; oh how I love Them.
Downtown Seattle is a lot tamer (Yes, I know ‘more tame’ would be better) than other big-ish cities. My new routine is to park near downtown, and skate to work on my years old, barely used skateboard. I used to skate, but it’s not like riding a bike.
Your body remembers riding bikes. My body does [...]
I’ve seen dogs with Coach and Burberry collars. These dogs live in coordinated handbags and wear more layers in January than hobos. Small, yippie, ankle-biting dogs come in, their owners pay more attention to inane details about the dog (”Oh, baby! Did you chip your little doggy toenail polish?! *gasp*”) than they do to the [...]
There’s someone who visits my site who’s ARIN Whois gives me an addy in El Segundo. Every time I see it, that song runs through my head. That’s some nice nostalgia to start the day with.
Ed. Note: When I imported all these old posts, I didn’t get the comments to come through. Turns out [...]
She sat down to pee, started examining her bracelets. She grabbed the stretchy one, and looked closely. It was like a hundred little rainbows in each rock bead, colored with earth. As she slipped it down her wrist, it exploded into volcanic jewelry, spewing string and rocks over the bathroom floor. It sounded like hail.
She [...]
Alternate title: Suburban Seattle Spring
While I was melting acetate today (more on that later) I heard someone chattering outside. I glanced out the window on this beautifully sunny Washington day and saw a really, really big gray cat. I thought. He stopped chattering and looked at me, revealing his big black mask. Racoon. I stared [...]
