A couple days ago, we asked Seattlest readers for music recommendations, and while we haven't had a chance to really check out everything they recommended, there is one stand-out we have fallen for: Telekinesis. Essentially a solo project by local singer-songwriter Michael Benjamin Lerner, it's a fantastic mix of danceable garage rock with decent lyrics that don't make you wretch, reminiscent of Guided By Voices. And, in a fine twist of fate, tonight happens to be their CD release party, at the new Croc, for their self-titled debut. Headliner is Throw Me the Statue, another fine local band; it's 21 and over.

Not so long ago, wandering the halls of a local music venue, we noticed a cool-looking poster for a band called Mono in VCF. Strange name, we thought.

, dropped a couple weeks ago, and we've been listening to it steadily since.

There are about a million reasons to go see Visqueen tonight at the Crocodile, and unless you've been living under a rock, you already know they're one of Seattle's best, most amusing live bands. Well, add one more reason to go to your list: Rachel's new haircut. Based on the pic above, we have to say we like it (but we're far too smitten to be unbiased). So now you can go and see if the haircut works with Rachel's frontwoman antics (we predict no issues), while Seattlest instead will be using the hair as a reason to go talk to Ms. Flotard - *swoon*. Don't worry, we have a strong lack of "game," so the "conversation" will involve no more than us mumbling "Nice haircut" as we walk by on our way to the exit. Yup, we're smooth.

You got something better to do? We don't believe you.

After kicking our collective asses for four consecutive days, the heat is finally backing down. So pull yourself together. Go outside again -- especially to Capitol Hill this weekend.

It's too late for us to tell you about the drawing at Three Imaginary Girls for Kuma tickets. We understand that you're mad and we accept that anger. You missed the deadline for entry, and to a certain way of thinking, Seattlest is responsible. We know this is a wound that will never heal, but maybe we can alleviate some of the pain: Tickets are still available to Kuma's CD release party at Chop Suey on Friday. FCS North are opening and are also very very good and Sushirobo and The Atomic Bombshells Burlesque will be performing as well.
