That's an audio chocolate-flavored peanut butter mixed with a peanut-butter flavored chocolate I can't wait to savor.

A Portland Excursion: Farewell to The Trucks (again), plus Head Like a Kite and Subtle

at The Doug Fir

One night. Three bands. Three venues (though two of them were the same). Head Like a Kite, The Trucks and Subtle make for a memorable trip to Portland.

Head Like A Kite -- There Is Loud Laughter Everywhere
On There Is Loud Laughter Everywhere, thirteen songs and fragments seem like a loop for a David Lynch space opera.

Latest comment by: Chris Estey: "Thanks, Jeanine! Yes, I had no idea how hard and good they rocked in the flesh. And the soundscapes are often as exciting as the barn-burners. I would have seen them long ago if I had any idea how great they are at performing live. "

Best of 2008: it's half-yearly check-in time

As of today, we're officially in the second half of 2008. Welcome! To gear you up for another fabulous six months of local Northwest releases, we here at imaginary headquarters have brainstormed an imaginary mix for all of you, containing some of our favorite songs by Northwest artists released this year to date thus far.

No promises that each of these will make our Best of 2008 Reader's Poll final list, but at least this way you have the next six months to follow-up and listen to these releases before you have to decide. To paraphrase imaginary ChrisB, we feel like this list is pretty unfuckwithable. But that doesn't mean that we didn't inadvertently overlook something great. If you have additions for our list, please chime in with your comments below.

Latest comment by: Mike: "Including mbison on your half-year list will turn out to be a insightful and an early prediction for this bands' success. Caught them this weekend at the Hi-Dive, and got their EP. Great stuff- they're here to stay."

Latest comment by: Jeanine Anderson: "@saundrah: Trent was absolutely and fully there and brought it good. However he was positioned way far stage left and this little group was way far stage right. I guess if you have the room, might as well use it!"
