A few weeks ago, Seattlest had the pleasure of attending the Seattle Laser Dome's latest show, Laser Daft Punk. Our love for Daft Punk has been completely irrational since their WaMu Center show, so between that and the fact that it'd been a while since our last laser show (Laser Plan B), we headed down with some friends to check it out.

We've already mentioned the Thermals show tonight, but if you're more inclined to shake your bon bon tonight, here are some safe bets.

We didn't go to a single concert at the Showbox last year. Ok, so we saw Obama at the SoDo, but that's not nearly the same thing, even though there were bands preceding the politics. It's most unusual for us to have a Showbox-free year, that's for sure.

magazine claims, "You can't swing a dead cat this time of year without hitting a Top 10 List." Never one to waste a perfectly good dead cat, we decided to take a swing and create a Top Random-Number Shows Seattlest Saw This Year. And now, without any further ado, here's how your favorite bloggers broke down the year:

This is the end, the end of free movies, care of Scion. Single tear. Via their Route film series, the youth-oriented car company has already tackled the true-to-life topics of blood diamonds in hip hop and nightclubbing in the late '80s NYC queer community. Now for something completely different:

It’s been just about a week and a half now since the grandmasters of interplanetary French electro-house graced Seattlest’s fine city. Now that the formerly much-anticipated Alive 2007 tour is almost over, Seattlest can only get its Daft Punk fix through the blogosphere, comparing online video posts and reading contentious hipster blogs that argue about at whom’s house the robo-duo first played.

Last week, Seattlest posed the question, "Just what is WaMu Theater?" According to the comments that followed this question, WaMu Theater is an "insincere" "characterless" "uninviting" "concrete cave" with "crappy sound".

When entertainment giant AEG Live announced plans to create a new and innovative music venue inside Quest Field Events Center, we imagine a big to do with all the local press in a large room packed with music lovers on one side and bankers on the other. Wonder which side was clapping more wildly...

In anticipation of French house DJs Daft Punk's show at WaMu Theatre this Sunday, head to Lower Level at the Capitol Hill Arts Center tonight for a screening of the first film directed by the electro duo:

Realizing it would only make us crazy to attempt to create a playlist of both bands for the day, we went with the "prepare for the first" approach. Doors for the Rentals were at 8pm with only one opener, while Boot Camp Clik had about a slew of openers and a later door, so it was a safe (and correct) assumption that the Rentals would start first (and there was no way we were going to miss that). The hours before the show were spent getting into rock-out mode, with a soundtrack consisting of old Weezer (Blue Album for life!), Dalmations (we certainly had our awesome on), and on the walk to Neumos, Daft Punk's Coachella set (Technologic indeed). We arrived just in time to see frontman Matt Sharp take the stage.

What better way to enjoy Memorial Day weekend than under a cloudless sky with a sweltering sun on the hottest day of the year? Seattlest hates hot weather (we tend to sweat easily and a lot), but we braved Saturday's exxxtreme temps to catch some outstanding music at Sasquatch. When it was all said and done, we had seen eight full acts and pieces of another three; we also managed to successfully avoid sunburn.
