Since I installed the SSD in my iMac a week ago, the record above is now the only record in my iTunes library. C’mon Witch Mountain, why isn’t your album on Rdio?
So excited they’re playing at Backspace in Portland tonight.

One reason I enjoy working from home is because I get to draw while listening to bands like Indian.
PS: Is this not one of the best rock album covers ever?

A video about the Sasquatch Festival site we did at work. Tyler Sticka, Erik Jung, and David Carroll talk about some of the things they’re proud of, and their approach to the site. Also, you can see some of our office, and my mug in the background.
Also, the guys at Invisible Creature just released some toys based upon the illustrations they did for the site.

Check out Sarah Johnson totally killin’ it in the new Menomena music video! Sarah is an excellent artist/performance artist. Check out the video of her performance for Rocksbox’s Action Art month.

Amazing live footage (with great sound) of the Seattle drone-metal/stoner-metal/sludge-metal/whatever-metal band, Earth.
Interesting trivia: The guitarist and lead “composer” of the band, Dylan Carlson, is supposedly the guy who introduced Kurt Cobain to heroin, and also bought the shotgun that Cobain to commit suicide.

I’m not quite sure how the new Grinderman album is so good. I always enjoyed Nick Cave, but for some reason, this the album that really convinced me to dig deeper into his musical history. Nick Cave is also the writer for the remake of The Crow movie, which is hilarious.

Neil Young’s still got it. His new album Le Noise sounds pretty damn good so far. Possibly his best in many, many years. And he released this video.

Just hanging out at work. Listenin’ to some metal.

So stoked on this show. Strength can make any wallflower want to dance.
