Jared Leto owns the quote of the evening: "This has got to be the craziest crowd we have ever played in front of in our whole lives." And with that, it becomes perfectly clear that this guy could have a future in acting. Maybe he could get something in commercials. He introduces the next song. It’s called "The Fantasy." more ›

From Everest first taking the stage, through the various moments of audio and comedic bliss throughout the long weekend, to the last chords strummed by Metric's James Shaw, we were incredibly thankful for all that Bumbershoot--this city's oldest music festival--has to offer. As we recollect, we invite you to spend some time clicking through this photo gallery made up of shots from the Seattlest Flickr Pool. more ›

Just when we thought the lineup was as final as it was going to get until the announcement of all acts come July, a couple more names trickle out from One Reel. Now added: The Black Eyed Peas (currently starring in this nightmare of a video), Metric (who just played a sold-out show at the Showbox last night), and Soulsavers featuring Mark Lanegan. With the last round of acts, it was announced that Lanegan was off the lineup with Isobel Campbell, but now he's back with Soulsavers. Whatevs, we'll take it. A few of the $25 single-day tickets remain. Check out the acts by day; full current lineup after the jump. more ›

OPENING: A new art gallery in Pioneer Square! What a thought. Flatcolor Gallery celebrates its grand opening as part of First Thursday art walk tonight, with work by 2H and Parskid. The gallery is the brain-child of Christopher Cook, who founded Flatcolor.com a few years back as a clearinghouse for limited-run works by local artists on the web. 5-9 p.m. // 528 First Ave. S. // free! more ›

With dear, sweet Jens Lekman in town for a two-night stand at the Croc, you'd think it'd be easy to find a way to see him one of those dates. But no! Jens has some serious live music competition. Thursday night at the Showbox, there's an all-ages show with Metric, starring the lovely and talented Emily Haines. It's sold out, but as always, where there's a will, there's a Craigslist posting. And then Friday night you've got the tough call of Jens or Handsome Furs at Neumo's, the husband-wife duo featuring Dan "Jimmy Legs" Boeckner from Wolf Parade. Bad timing for Jens, but good timing for the rest of Seattle. more ›
