Tonight in Seattle:  

Orange Twin

Tuesday's Nana Grizol show is going to {insert hyperbolic statement here like how it's going to be the most amazing thing ever}

Best news of the day: New Nana Grizol album details and {TIG exclusive} free MP3

nana-grizol-vera-07

From an informal poll of recent friends' twitters, it looks like it's been a rough week for a lot of us.

Three years in the making, the record features thirteen songs that matured while being honed on the road.

Can I be hyperbolic with you for a minute?

Sure today might be most notable for being the birthday of Stevie Wonder AND Stephen Colbert or the fact that the long awaited Death Cab AND Black Angels albums are hitting the street.

But, what I'm most excited about today is...
