Macklemore is tired of making you cry. Now, he wants to make you giggle and dance with what appears to be a new alternate persona, a la Ziggy Stardust.

Perk up your Tuesday with new music from one of Sub Pop's most promising acts.
Wake Up and Watch: The Cave Singers
Yesterday, Gina crushed your heart by telling you there was no way to see Cave Singers open for Fleet Foxes tonight. But we didn't want to leave you hanging, so here's a music video for you to enjoy. It's a pretty close second, right?
Short And Sweet Video For GMK's "Carry Me Home"
Black and white film classes up a cute video for "Carry Me Home" from local emcee GMK. WesGoodLife did a great job with the direction and editing on this one, and it's all set in the University District--see if you can recognize the restaurant where GMK and his new girl are eating breakfast.
The Physics Bring You: A Video!
We just spent a good three minutes and 48 seconds drooling over the hot new music video of "Ready For We" from The Physics. This is our favorite song from their unexpectedly fabulous 2007 release, , and we're really digging the video's dark, stylin' aesthetic! Check it out:
We Review: The Mountain Goats/Jeffrey Lewis @ Neumos
Looking like the everyman John Cusack would play in the movie, John Darnielle still has a teenager's reedy tenor, in contrast to his grown-man's, slow-footed cadence when apologizing for having a lyric cheat sheet for a new song.
Screw You & Your Infectious Pop Melodies, Sondre
When we got to the Crocodile last night, the Norwegian invasion was in full swing, with singer/songwriter Thomas Dybdahl [deebdoll] holding the audience in the palm of his hand. He's low-key and instantly likable, and a crooner of bittersweet verses about girls who have baggage ("Adelaide" and "Cecilia") and middle-aged men who need to break out of their routine ("Henry").
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.
Digital Music Distribution
Two little blurbs about music distribution, one cool and one really annoying.
