Port Townsend pop/rock trio New Faces have had a pretty damn good year, and with an upcoming West Coast tour and release of their debut full-length album, it's only going to get better. Here are a few reasons why you should squeeze into the Comet this Saturday night to check them out: 1. They won this year's EMP Sound Off! competition. 2.

Attention Pearl Jam fans and Flatstock attendees: You need the new, superfancy art book Pearl Jam vs Ames Bros: 13 Years of Tour Posters. The book is a compendium of the band's 1995-2007 gig posters by artists Ames Bros and Brad Klausen, PJ's exclusive print-design minds.

Paul Allen is a billionaire, so it's probably okay if some things don't always quite succeed. The Experience Music Project may be one of those failures. Seattlest has already compiled the latest media outlook on the inauspicious history and present state of the museum. The Seattle PI's latest story asks people what would they do with an empty EMP.
