• Posted Friendly Folk-Pop for the Kids: Hey Marseilles at Vera This Saturday to Seattlest
  Before the seasons changed and our rain-induced pseudo-hibernation began, we were able to gather up many fond musical memories during festival season. During one such venture we were able to talk to Hey Marseilles and Fences as part of our Better Know a CHBP Band series. As luck has it the two bands will be playing the Vera Project this Saturday. (Tickets $10, all ages, 7:30 PM)
• Posted An Interview with Rufus Wainwright: On Performing, Recording, R-71, and More to Seattlest
  Are there memories in particular that stand out when you think about playing Seattle or just memories about Seattle in general? I remember seeing some very straight but totally homoerotic lumberjacks at four in the morning somewhere. And it was one of the most enthralling visions of my West Coast existence. I always remember Seattle as a very sexy, rough and tumble town.
• Posted An Interview with Comedian Mike Birbiglia to Seattlest
  As one of the funniest young comedians on the circuit, Mike Birbiglia has already seen tremendous success on stage and screen. There's a good chance you've seen one of his specials on Comedy Central, seen one of his late night appearances or seen his jokes as animations on the Internet. If you've yet to see Mike on screen, it's likely you've heard his voice on the Ira Glass' legendary modern radio series, This American Life. To top it off, Mike just finished the first run of his highly acclaimed Off-Broadway one-man show titled "Sleepwalk with Me," which humorously details his unpredictable and occasionally violent sleep disorder.
• Posted Free Show of the Week: A Hawk and a Hacksaw at Sonic Boom Tonight to Seattlest
  If the words Neutral Milk Hotel and free don’t relieve any autumnal sorrows you might be feeling, we’re afraid we probably won’t be able to help you.
• Posted Save the World and Help the Kids: Weekend Music for Good Causes to Seattlest
  This weekend, we’re happy to recommend two events that may just enhance your mental and physical health, while helping to connect you with your neighbors one last time before the rain-induced hibernation officially begins. These two events combine three of the city's strengths: local music, community and the great outdoors.
