• After 15 years Seattle rock band Harvey Danger is getting ready to play its final farewell show at the Crocodile August 29. Relive the heyday, tickets are selling out fast.
• More food options for the hungry belly. Depending on your location you can either enjoy a decadent treat from Trophy Cupcakes at their new University Village location, or the newest juice bar at Chutney's in Wallingford. Mmmm, nothing like carrot and wheatgrass juice.

THE LAKE IS CELEBRATING: Summer is when neighborhood pride reaches its zenith here in Seattle, and Lake Union is no exception. LUFest, a festival including a pet parade, live music (Harvey Danger! Local funksters The Staxx Brothers!), and food, happens this Saturday, and we recommend you head down there to experience some classic fun in the sun. To repeat: Harvey Danger will be there. more ›

Conventional wisdom says these days ain't happy ones for pulp-and-print publications. Circulation's down. Ad revenues are down. Everyone wants to read online. So nearly every newspaper, magazine and television news program has a host of blogs these days, to compete with the millions of self-described experts, autodidacts, conspiracy theorists and Chuck Norris-aficionados who propagate the blogosphere with their own brand of citizen journalism (read: poor spelling and poorer grammar). more ›

As it should be, it's quiet this week in Seattle, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do -- especially the closer we get to New Year's Eve. So without further ado, Seattlest's belated gift to you -- some shows: more ›

We got an email from local folk singer Ali Marcus yesterday that says her new album's going to be done in a few months and now's the time to get her your postal address. Her label's laboratory is mixing up the mailing list now. Yeah, that means you send her your address and she sends you a CD - No money changes hands, at least, not until you go see her live or buy a tee shirt or something, which you should totally do. more ›

A: A night in Seattle, having some drinks, and listening to live music that doesn't blow ass. more ›

Another week of Seattlest making all your plans for you. You don’t even have to think! Joy! more ›

Our mysteriously long commute this morning (the rain? aurora borealis centralized on 99?), in concert with an even more mysterious mp3 player outage (battery power? the gods telling us we need an iPod? technical ineptitude?) forced us to catch Harvey Danger on KEXP. KEXP is broadcasting out of the Museum of Television and Radio in NYC currently, which has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Harvey Danger (we think it was Sean?) was on with host John Richards and saying a lot of incredibly cool things. Plus they played a few tracks from their new Little by Little CD and they were incredibly decent, particularly Wine Women and Song. more ›

Seems like everybody and their mama has been raising money for the Red Cross or other agencies helping in hurricane relief efforts. Even Seattlest's local karaoke dive bar was taking cash for the cause last Sunday night. What follows is by no means a comprehensive list, but just a smattering of upcoming events by local businesses where your money can make a difference: more ›

Maybe Seattle doesn’t have a river to dye green just for the occasion, but there are still scads of St. Patrick’s Day activities here in the Emerald City. We suppose you could go to the Seattle Center for the big celebration there, but most people would rather be out drinking, so for your Irish pub-crawling pleasure (cover charges as noted): more ›
