Yeah I started reading it last summer. Good stuff. I was talking to Half Acre Day's new manager about it on Monday and told them HAD should put a banner/link on there. It was already there. I felt dumb. By the way it really is three chicks who do that that and the former DJ from KEXP I hang out with from time to time told me they are doing very well for themselves.
Also, HAD played a surprise gig this weekend at the Lower Level. They were billed as the "Rocket Suits". Great show. 50 or 60 people which isn't bad for a surprise gig. The now songs are great.

Music debate I was involved in on Monday with some heavy enthusiasts in "the scene":
One guy: (sarcastically) SO is the future of rock now THE Killers?
Me: Better them than Limp Bizkit, Korn, or any of that other goatee-metal-rap date-rape music.
Other guy: True. True.
Other guy: It's a great time for music. So many bands as opposed to three or four huge ones.
Me: If you would have told me five years ago Modest Mouse would sell a million records, Death Cab would be on a major label with huge buzz, and a teen show like the OC would have the best music on it I would have thought you were on metamphetamines (sp). Anyway, such good times to love the tunes.

You all should check out the Futureheads and The Zutons.
Futureheads= minus the bear + New Pornographers/ The Clash and The Ramones
The Zutons=country surf fusion rock if that is at all possible. Maybe they could best be described as a B-Movie Sci-fi soundtrack band. I dunno.
Tunage. Both fantastic.

P.S. I firmly believe file sharing/internet use/ ITUNES is a HUGE component of this mini-revolution. I am guessing most of you would agree. Go team Net.
