Can't Miss It: Wednesday

What, you haven't gone to the Puyallup Fair yet? Tonight's the night--trust us. Or, you can go have a scholarly conversation about important stuff over craft beer. OR you can watch a really awesome Mexican movie about old people. It's a busy night, that's for sure. more ›

Sasquatch Gallery: Mega Sunday Roundup

             + 7 more

This is the big Sunday finale gallery. We're tossing in Gayngs (whom to our delight shares a lead singer with Sean Na Na and Har Mar Superstar), Das Racist, Fitz and the Tantrums, Modest Mouse and the Flaming Lips into the mix. Now that's a hell of mix and made for one incredible Sunday. For those of you that were there, I'm betting you remember the feeling of fatigue that was beginning to seep in and you really just wanted to take a nap. Then you realized that Fitz was playing or that Flaming Lips was coming on the main stage at sunset. So you tossed back a Five Hour Energy and felt your eighth wind coming on. more ›

Sasquatch Gallery: Sneak Peek Day 3

            

Ok, I'll be honest with you... we're feeling the fourth-day wearies from so much hard rocking and running up and down to the mainstage twenty times a day. That's pushing it, but you feel me. more ›

Can't Miss It: Monday

DOOOO YOUU REAAALIZE?: that The Flaming Lips are in town tonight??. Woohoo x10! The Oklahoma based trio has been rock rock rocking since 1983, and if you've never seen them we strongly suggest you remedy that. They're a rock circus if you will, and along with Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, will be changing lives at The Paramount. more ›

PB&J at the Showbox

PB&J at the Showbox

Remember a few years back when "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" came out and the Flaming Lips were suddenly everywhere? Mitsubishi started using "Do You Realize" to hawk their cars and Justin Timberlake was dressing up in a dolphin suit and jumping on stage during Lips shows? For a few glorious moments the hipsters and frat boys were humming the same tune, and no one seemed to mind. more ›

Dr. Dog Much Better Than Name Would Suggest

Dr. Dog is a terrible name for a band. Based on that name alone, we'd expect them to be in the vein of Skynrd or perhaps really bad white guy jazz. But instead the Philly quintet make feel-good tunes that, with all the layered harmonies and old-school production, could pass as Beatles b-sides. Their last album Easy Beat contained at least four full-fledged grade-A tracks, including jangly charmer "Say Something" [mp3]. New album We All Belong was released last month to the best reviews of the band's short career, in no small part due to Flaming Lips-leaning retro jams like "Ain't It Strange" (see below). more ›

Get Out

Get Out

SPELLING: Rarely does an adult get to display a skill so mundane as spelling, and rarer still does an adult have an opportunity to engage in feats of spelling in front of an audience and within the context of a competition, but tonight at the Re-bar is just such an opportunity. We're still in negotiations withe the Re-bar rules committee to see if Seattlest's spelling stand-in FireFox 2.0 is eligible to compete. more ›

Sasquatch Report: Sunday Kickoff

Sasquatch Report: Sunday Kickoff

Up next was The Shins, fresh outta P-town. Is it too much to say that their warmth and good humor revived the audience, saving lives most likely lost to hypothermia otherwise? No, it is not. It's not true, exactly, but there you go. Anyway, their set was varied, they tried out two brand-new songs that didn't suck, and as Natalie Portman promised in Garden State, they changed our lives. more ›

Movies Taste Metallic

Do you realize...that the definitive Flaming Lips documentary is currently showing at the Northwest Film Forum? Director Bradley Bessley followed the Lips for over a decade to make The Fearless Freaks, and somehow he had enough brain cells left to edit all his footage and put together a cohesive portrait of the band. more ›
