Hey ladies! (Yeah!) You don't need no man! (Okay!) Well, if you're in a band with a man and you haven't had a chance to replace him with a woman who rocks harder then you you might want to keep him around until further notice. But other than that, you don't need a man! Because you're [...]

What can we say about Hawkwind? Certinaly nothing describes their prime-era better than Julian Copes words - "They were a collection of disreputable star rats fuelled by a battery of hallucinogenic influences and united only by an incorrigible sense of psi-powered, pre-1976 cosmic punk rock attitude broken off and gobbled as though it was their sole means of sustenance while playing riffs into

On August 5, [...]

Ballard’s rockin’est venue, The Sunset Tavern , is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this June. Back in 2000 when it opened, Ballard Ave was much a quieter place flanked by tiny fishing houses rather than Condo- maximums . The Sunset was actually one of my first 2 stops when arriving in Seattle, the other being the Tractor, and they're still my favorites. It's a small space with big sound and bigger bands. Since it’s inception The Sunset stage has been graced by amazing acts such as The Fleet Foxes, Camper Van Beethoven, Of Montreal, The Cave Singers... I [...]

To me eMusic always seemed like the digital music store for the underdogs. It was the online equivalent of your local hole in the wall record shop. The place where you’d find bins overflowing with obscure punk CD’s and out of print LP’s. Visiting eMusic now seems a bit too much like browsing the racks at the local Best Buy or Wal-Mart.
