View of Doe Bay, home of Doe Bay Fest Words // Adam Sharp I'm not sure if you've noticed lately, but there's something insane happening out in the Pacific Northwest. Out amongst the pines and the terrain where rain comes from is one of the most vibrant and diverse music scenes going, with everything from folk to hip hop finding a place to grow and evolve. I spent a weekend out there last month at a small, amazing music festival called Doe Bay Fest [...]

You know I love me some of that Pacific Northwest shit, but put in a lil' LA and spice it all off in Hawaii and I'm ready for some summer fresh hip-hop. Blue Scholars' very own Geologic aka Geo aka Prometheus Brown teams up with LA native, Bambu, while on their University of Hawaii tour, to create a musically inspired project from the Aloha islands. Producers range from Sabzi (the other half of Blue Scholars) to Budo and many other talents. Here's a little from the dudes themselves - I'm done writing, I just wanna keep [...]

"Seijun Suzuki" hit the hardest the first time around Cinemetropolis - that beat just catches. Now that I've been listening to Cinemetropolis a few more times, I'm starting to feel a few more. I've been listening to Blue Scholars for a few years now and love what they're doin in the Pacific Northwest. Sabzi is progressing his sound nicely and Geo keeps on with the lyrics. Hit me up with your other favorites on this until I habituate it a lil more. [Audio clip: [...]

As I sit here in my basement room listening to Portland punk paramours Tiny Knives practice, (well, trying to tune out with headphones...It is practice after all!) I reflect on all the great punk music i've been lucky to listen to and experience at house shows across the northwest this last week.Let's reflect. You may be thinking "Hmm... letters with mixtapes? What the punk? Who is this person overtaking the blog, where's josh?" My name is Danielle Warhola and I run another blog, Resume Of Charm where most of this stuff is going to be crossposted. [...]

Thao and Mirah both often go by their first names only. That is mostly why they wanted to make a record together. Other reasons include: they are friends, they were finally in San Francisco at the same time, and both joyfully welcomed a short departure from their respective successful solo careers to collaborate on a project. Mirah (K records) started making music in the late 90′s in the Pacific Northwest, becoming a much beloved indie fixture there and well beyond. Her 5 celebrated solo records and multiple previous collaborations have brought her together with an eclectic assortment of [...]
Seattle's EMP museum has created an engrossing visual and aural history of Nirvana.
"Well, here we go again. Blah blah blah blah blah folk music. Blah blah blah blah heartstrings. Blah Blah Blah open roads, songs about man's best friend and drinking cheap beer...stupid grandpa guitars..." Does the above sentiment describe you? Are you sick of watching skinny guys in cheap bi-colored collared shirts, wearing single colored beanies, playing [...]

Aside from Red Rocks, there are very few venues in America hosting major summer music festivals that can hold a candle to the majesty of The Gorge. That lush Pacific Northwest setting has been home to the Sasquatch! Music Festival , which is celebrating it's tenth anniversary in 2011. The line-up is (pretty) good, featuring a nice mix of Pacific Northwest favorites and national headliners. From Sound on the Sound: Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, The Head and The Heart, [...]

We don't post all that often on Saturdays or Sundays, because the weekend is a time for REST. (Side note: Jamie usually works on the weekend. HA. ...Just kidding, I feel for you, Jamie. ) But, there are those times when music overlaps quite nicely with rest and songs are well suited for Saturdays. Little Anchor is a prime example. Little Anchor was originally a solo project of Alexa Cabellon out in the Pacific Northwest, but she decided to head back to her college home of New York City to form a full band with [...]

One more Washington outfit for today. This second one is alternative, fuzz-pop Echo Tongues. Echo Tongues is the self-described child of Seattle-based Gary Wilson. Gary is joined by Tom Grady, Jessie Gore, and Ryan Merz. I guess it's because of where Echo Tongues comes from but I feel this indie pop pays homage to the grunge legacy of the Pacific Northwest in a lot of ways. The sound has a dazing sort of effect on you as you listen. It's amazing how quickly it can make six minutes pass. If you play it a couple times like I [...]
The Pour Fool runs down his in-depth look at his favorite beers, broken down by style, his favorite breweries, broken down by state, and eventually named his best three beers and singular brewery of the year. I believe that, in decades to come, we'll all look back on this first decade of the 21st century as a Golden Age in the evolution of American beer. And many of its best breweries and most adventurous minds are right here in the Pacific Northwest. What follows below is, of course, just the opinions of one cranky, [...]
I Am The Agent is a self-described alternative rock band, hailing from Australia. It's said they are making the rounds around Sydney. Hopefully their fanbase is growing there. I can say they've got a fan halfway across the world here. These Aussies deliver a sort of new grunge revival. It's not the Pacific Northwest melancholy [...]
