One more time: David Gilmour, "the legendary voice and guitar of Pink Floyd," has a new concert DVD out next Tuesday the 18th. It's a double-disc affair with all five-plus hours of his acclaimed 2006 Royal Albert Hall concert--featuring songs from Gilmour's On an Island album, along with Pink Floyd favorites, as well as guest performances by David Crosby and Graham Nash *and* a grand finale with David Bowie on "Comfortably Numb," plus nearly......

We never really got into Pink Floyd, but not for lack of trying. In high school we actively endeavored to enjoy the band by any means necessary. We listened to Wish You Were Here under the influence of homemade acid and moonshine, we viewed The Wall whilst freebasing peyote, we played Dark Side of the Moon simultaneous with Sister Act, and still--nothing. We gave up and found Radiohead instead. So we aren't too excited......

Explosive Norwegian electro-rock quartet 120 Days name such varied influences as the Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Neu!, David Bowie, Spacemen 3, and Kraftwerk. So you know that their sound is big, the songs are epic, and the beat is driving. 120 Days will bring their wall of noise to Neumo's next Tuesday (opening for Ratatat--now that's a doubleheader), and Seattlest has a pair of tickets to give away. Enter your name and......

The holiday spirit was in full-swing Friday night at The Crocodile, as Three Imaginary Girls hosted a jolly evening of karaoke, preceeded by a special performance from the U.K.'s Jim Noir and solo sets from members of Tiny Vipers and the Fruit Bats. In short, it was a blast. Something about this event not being a a full-on rock show made it feel very casual, friendly, and a lot of fun. Seattlest arrived about halfway......

Answers will be forthcoming this afternoon, along with final standings and any other information we feel like we can cram into a post. In the meantime, entertain yourself with the questions from last night's quiz at the Old Pequliar: Round 1: Geography 1) What is the busiest airport in Europe, measured by passenger traffic? 2) What glacier created Lake Washington, Puget Sound, and Green Lake? 3) What country is home to the tallest skyscraper in......

What better way to kick off Pride Weekend than with a parable about the gay recruitment agenda -- incidentally we hear David Bowie modeled his Goblin King performance after Johnny Depp -- and another one another one about Republican oilmen clashing with Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon? We'd like to thank Metrobloggist Zee, who yesterday informed us that Labyrinth was coming to town. Then we heard that this Friday and Saturday's midnight movie at......

Currently enjoying premium real estate in the coveted "Best New Music" space on Pitchfork, Danielson (aka Daniel Smith) allegedly rocks - in italics - "with blaring trumpets signaling snares to exact their force beneath sweeping multitracked vocal choruses that simply won't stop crescendoing." The same article also claims that Sufjan Stevens serves as Danielson's "acolyte," which conjures up all kinds of unrelated and unfortunate images. The artist himself describes his music in this three-month-old......

Londonist prepares a Happy Birthday bath for Buddah this week and then things get all cliched. A madman goes on a rampage while axe-wiedling and London's mayor warns an American diplomat to avoid the kitchen if the heat bothers him so much. LAist has finally come around to purchasing tickets for Clipper Train. Hyper local dating sites are spamming L.A. neighborhoods and the fascinating Dame Darcy talks with LAist about art, the city and earthquakes.......

Okay, okay, we know that this year’s Bumbershoot lineup will leave you wondering what year it is, since we wouldn’t really call most of the acts especially current or relevant, but there are some things worth checking out. Friday, M. Ward is sure to rock (if you can call someone who mainly plays acoustic rocking). He is one heck of a guitar player and, oh boy, does he do a great cover of David Bowie’s......

Another day, another great opening at the Northwest Film Forum. This time it's The Nomi Song, a documentary by Andrew Horn, opening tomorrow night. The subject of Horn's film is Klaus Nomi, an interesting dude, to make a vast understatement. Klaus wasn't "normal" by any means, and this film charts his journey from Berlin opera usher to androgynous robot/alien/New Wave cult icon. Always an outsider, Klaus found a place in New York's music underground in......

Seattlest apologizes (especially to David Bowie) for the headline; we couldn't resist. Northwest Film Forum's Yasujiro Ozu retrospective starts today and we wiggle with excitement. Ozu, a Japanese director whose work spans 30-odd years--from silent black-and-whites to technicolor splendor--is widely regarded as a master of the form. Seattlest loves his literally unique perspective--shooting from the level of the tatami mat. Before you get the foreign-film-subtitle-narcoleptic willies, let us tell you that Ozu's films are......
