Nick Cave Live in Seattle

Yesterday I promised a blurry photo, and here it is.
Wednesday’s show was a little different from Tuesday’s all-out rock show.  The band started out performing five songs much like they did last night, but then settled in to their more traditional arrangements for a couple of songs.  Nick took a seat at the keyboards to […]

Nick Cave Live in Seattle and on KEXP 90.3 FM

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds played the first of two sold-out shows at the Showbox SoDo in Seattle last night.  I’ve seen them perform many times, but I’ve never seen them do what they did last night. 
Nick Cave is not one to stay in one place for too long.  He and the Bad Seeds […]

Political Songs: The 2008 Election Selection

Choose wisely… 
I’ve been working on this soundtrack for the 2008 Election and I think now is about the right time to share it with you all.  The songs are about the American Idea:  How it’s changed for the better over the last century, how during the past eight years the Bush Administration has defiled it, and the direction we must go to […]

Happy Birthday to David Lowery

David Lowery, born September 10, 1960, is a co-founder of Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker - two of the best bands ever. 
Here are lyrics to David Lowery’s birthday song to himself, “and to you” from the album Kerosene Hat.
I was having a good sleep in my car
In the parking lot of the Showboat Casino Hotel.

Bumbershoot 2008 Day Three

The previous two days and cold nights wore me out, so I arrived much later in the day.  Around 5:30.  It wasn’t as sunny as the previous two days, but that didn’t deter folks from splashing around in the fountain.
Cheb I Sabbah and guests musicians from the Middle East and Sacramento played a mashup set […]

Bumbershoot 2008 Day Two

First show of the day for me was Kathleen Edwards. 
Kathleen told a story about how she always visits her favorite wine shop in the Pike Place Market while she’s in Seattle.  And, if I heard her story right, that’s where she learned that no douche bags attend her show (something from The Stranger writeup).
After Edwards’ […]

Bumbershoot 2008 Day One

Neko Case started it off Saturday at the Mainstage.
 
The purity of her voice is unreal.
…  Something called Strange Fruit at the Fountain lawn.
 
Ian Moore and his really cool red guitar.
   
I had my nine-year-old son with me, so I had to leave Ian’s set early to go see this:
 
Skater dudes are way crazy.
Being the home of […]

Niggy Tardust Lockdown

The latest Saul Williams album, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust, was released on CD last week.  I bought my copy at Easy Street Records in West Seattle, and I could not help but notice that of all the albums featured on the new release rack, it was the only one sealed in […]
