The Steam Co.![[video] Fleet Foxes – Grown Ocean](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3341696_lg.jpg)
I was thinking maybe I wouldn't post this - since the whole music world has already gone crazy for Fleet Foxes and I don't have a whole lot to add to the conversation. But I saw this video last week and so many things about just warm my heart. It's kind of like looking at a family photo album and remembering all of the best times. If you haven't checked it out, you should. xoxo, alyssa

The Standards A week late but still close to our memories, here's to a lady who loved and lost and loved again more than most of us could dream. Any guy who wouldn't have married Liz Taylor (the 1st, 2nd, or 6th time) isn't fit to shine my boots. Here's to you, Ms. Taylor. "Belle & Sebastian - Dylan in the Movies" xoxo, katie the standards come out on the steam co. every monday and [...]

A few weeks back a Steam Co reader said they were so overjoyed with their new MacBook Pro that it deserved its own mix. But one day you're in - the next day you're out, when it comes to Project Runway, and the world computers, supercomputers and microchips. The day Katie got her iPhone - she was thrilled. While her iPhone still works fine - that was TWO iPhones ago. And Alyssa was thrilled to recieve her MacBook, back in 2007. Now she just dreams of much prettier MacBook Pro. So for those few moments when you are leading [...]

fyi: I posted this earlier at MyNW.com - the place where I spend my work week ... In Rainn Wilson's latest attempt to rule all media (which I believe he's taking over, slowly but surely,) The Office star and misguided Super hero is now hanging out with indie bands making short films. The premise of the dark short film, Blitzen Trapper Massacre, pits a sad, misguided Wilson against Portland folk rockers Blitzen Trapper. When Wilson isn't allowed to join the band on stage [...]

friend of the steam co, photographer james bailey , recently got to venture out with seattle band Ravenna Woods as they made their way by minivan to SXSW. On the way he documented many of their adventures on the KEXP blog which feature some rather fantastic photos and write-ups. But he also did a couple of videos - one that you can watch below, and one that I'm very excited to see in the near future that features a white sand backdrop. Watch "We Want It All" right here: xoxo, [...]

Someone passed along some tracks from The Joy Formidable to me recently - but before I could dive in they started popping up on my favorite blogs, the radio on my sad car stereo, and friends' gchat messages. So if you're not into it yet, maybe it's time that you check them out yourself. "The Joy Formidable - The Magnifying Glass" "The Joy Formidable - Austere" xoxo, alyssa

But you might not be there, like Alyssa, who is instead about to run for the border, (literally.)

But what to say about them in this moment? I'm a bit stuck for words, and I've been putting off a review of this latest album.
