Apple Will unveil new Ipod tomorrow and a few more surprises

Look for the Beatles catalog to pop up on ITunes fairly soon.

Update: Still no Beatles.

Some BRMC Pics From Bumbershoot

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's set started with a few sound problems, but they rebounded nicely and performed admirably. Aint No Easy Way and Whatever Happened To My Rock and Roll (Punk Song) received the biggest ovations. Also included in the set were Weapon of Choice, Spread Your Love, Love Burns, Berlin, American X and a few more. BRMC, while I dig them anywhere, are much more suited for a dark and smoky room like the Showbox as opposed to a large outdoor venue. However, I will take them any way I can get them. By the way, their third album (Howl, a gospel and country themed record) will definitely be on my best of the decade list.
You can listen to BRMC's second show (mainly acoustic) on KEXP's streaming archive. Just click on the link and type 5:37 and September 2nd for show date. Evidentally KEXP had turn away hundreds of people because the show was too packed. Read a full review of the acoustic show here.
The Seattle Weekly BRMC andx Kings of Leon slideshow is here. Some good pics.

Kylee has a blast at Bumbershoot.

Yesterday we discovered for a fact what we have suspected all along. Kylee loves music. When I play the guitar around the house she starts moving and grooving with a huge smile on her face and yesterday at Bumbershoot she took that behavior to a whole new level. For about 45 minutes during the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club set she danced while people repeatedly took her picture and came closer to get a better look. It seemed her smile made everyone else smile too (including her dad and grandma).

Meet The Press: A Pissy Mary Matalin Throws Her Pen When Punked By Shrum

I watched Meet the Press this morning, as I do every Sunday morning, and watching Mary Matalin get increasingly frustrated over the 60 minutes was almost comical. She cannot, and never will able to, separate herself from the party line. Watch the pen fly across the room at the end. Classic.

Eddie Vedder and Neil Finn at Bumbershoot

A picture of Eddie V singing with Neil Finn of Crowded House at Bumbershoot today. I would be very surprised if Eddie didn't make an appearance tomorrow with Kings of Leon at 3:00.

Larry Craig debacle reported Dragnet style. Fantastic!

It's a good idea for me to post this once every four or five months

For those of you that still have hope...

The Mariners are on CBC channel 99. It's the Canadian feed.

Have you listened to the 1990's yet? Probably the most fun you'll have all day.

The Nines trailer looks pretty freaky. This one is also getting some good reviews.

What the Seattle Times recommends at Bumbershoot this weekend.

Kings of Leon, from left: Matthew, Nathan, Caleb and Jared Followill. The rockers play at 3 p.m. Sunday at Memorial Stadium.

Saturday
The Shins — 2:30 p.m., Memorial Stadium
Yes, The Shins sound great on your headphones, but these indie darlings also know how to amp up their orchestral pop for a dynamic concert.

Gogol Bordello — 9 p.m., Fisher Green
This genre-hopping gypsy-punk band is known for its live shows: One reviewer called them "a bit like the Clash having a fight with the Pogues in Eastern Europe."

Panic! At the Disco — 10 p.m., Memorial Stadium
Panic!'s emo-pop-punk is nothing groundbreaking, but their theatrical live show — replete with a troupe of sexed-up circus performers — is worth the trek to the Mainstage.

Sunday
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club — 1:15 p.m., Memorial Stadium
BRMC's new album, "Baby 81," is a return to the loud, swaggering rock of their early albums. Expect a loud, swaggering rock show.

Kings of Leon — 3 p.m., Memorial Stadium
Arguably one of the most rock 'n' roll acts in current rock 'n' roll, these Tennessee boys serve up a sweaty, hard-driving, countrified good time.

Art Brut — 7:30 p.m., Broad Street stage
With more pop hooks than you can bob your head to, you can expect high energy from this British indie-punk quintet that grabbed the spotlight in 2005 with their cheeky hit "Formed a Band."

Monday
Roky Erickson & the Explosives — 6:45 p.m., Mural Amphitheatre
Legendary guitarist Roky Erickson (of groundbreaking psych-rock 13th Floor Elevators fame) returns to the stage after a two-decade hiatus.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists — 9:30 p.m., Fisher Green
The infallible and unassuming Ted Leo and his band know how to please a crowd: vigor, diversity, sets that chug through their mighty catalog of consistently good albums.

Neighbors Brian and Emily have some cool 30 week 3-D pregnancy pictures

Looks like they went some place called "Hood Canal" too. Never heard of it. Sounded fun though!

The M's played so poorly they put my daughter to sleep.
