Get your name on the official list for Experience Music Project's 2008 Pop Conference, taking place in our very own Hendrix-drenched, spring-obsessed city from April 10–13. That's next weekend! This year's theme is "Shake, Rattle: Music, Conflict, and Change," and EMP has gathered over 160 writers, speakers and musicians to expound on the many facets of the subject. (The conference is completely, gloriously free.)

We usually stay pretty hog-tied to the folk and roots music world, but a year or so ago, we found ourselves volunteering to cover a show at Neumo's featuring Common Market and The Coup. Hot damn! That was a good show.

Prince Howard of Schultz, the man who would be our entertainment king, also wants to feed us frozen yogurt. Yes, the man who brought you Frappuccino wants you to start licking his Pinkberry.

tomorrow night. So excited, in fact, that we thought we'd go to the Google to find out what sorts of happenings are going to, well, happen tomorrow in celebration of the big release.

Yes, we're Folklife enthusiasts. Where else can you get a funnel cake, a hip-hop spitfest, a latin dance party, and a contest for liars, all in one place? We quoted Prince in the headline because we wouldn't be surprised if he showed up at Folklife this year. There is so much shit going on this weekend, and you don't have to drive all the way to the silly Gorge and pay through your nose to enjoy the music, yall.

Everyone likes to set things on fire, so don’t lie. The good news is that in cooking, pyromania is often sanctioned. There exist a plethora of dishes that necessitate lighting a big alcohol fire, or flambéing. Our personal favorite is Crêpes Suzette.

might be the Best Best of the -ists ever. We're exhausted just thinking about it.

SUPER BLOW: A bunch of big guys grabbing each other while wearing skin-tight clothes, with ass-slapping and Prince songs. No, it's not Comeback, its the goddamn SuperBowl. Sorry editor Dan, but we're rooting for the Colts.

As the world holds it's breath, teetering precariously on the cusp of the Super Bowl (well, at least in America), the wheels of the -ists keep on turning.

) But, hey, it's just noodles. And noodles can be very tasty, as we know. Still, these are special.

With the Seattle Shakespeare Company's productions, it seems as if they're always hit or miss. Their current season has contained some of each, and the current play, The Winter's Tale, is a mixed bag. In this case, the set design and art direction is plain ol' lovely, while the acting leaves a bit to be desired.

Rory Stewart spoke at the University Bookstore on Monday courtesy of the World Affairs Council, which, frankly, we had never heard of before.

SIFF runs a tight ship. Even though their Face the Music party at Neumo's last night had a bajillion bands on the bill---all of whom were doing ~20 minute sets chockful of covers, as a tribute to musicians featured in films at the festival--- somehow they were actually running ahead of schedule. How often does that happen at a regular rock show, let alone one with eleven musical acts? Somebody must've been cracking the whip. Truly, this slavedriver should be commended.

Trish Repko is the lead singer of Satin Skirmish. The band's new album drops this fall.

Tonight is a night of hard choices. Sure, it's more on the scale of where to see Snakes on a Plane then how to replace the viaduct, but it's a hard and important decision nonetheless. That decision? Do you attend the ghetto-fabulous debut of Bootylib at the Baltic Room or the 80s fabulous Prince vs. Michael at Rebar?

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

When you hear the name "Dave Edler," you, like us, automatically think, "Oh, of course, the right-handed-hitting third baseman who spent parts of four seasons (1980-83) with the Mariners."

As if you don't know, this weekend was the Northwest Regional Barista Competition, presented by the Specialty Coffee Association of America, and hosted by Hines Public Market Coffee and Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Seattlest was there, live, reporting away like a real reporter, just without the expense account. (Actually we had to leave to go find a hotspot. But we typed part of this post live and it was thrilling. We were standing *that* close to 2004 U.S. Barista Champion Bronwen Serna, who was helping judge this year.)

Sure, sure you're all punk rock and hope that the troops will pull out of Iraq. Well, we say good for you, but you're not nearly as punk rock as Barbra Streisand. That's right--Babs' new song, Stranger in a Strange Land is a lovely anti-war number you might want to check out. Despite the fact that the war in Iraq has not been going to0 well, few mass-appeal musicians have released any actual protest songs, so wear your 'Prince of Tides' shirt with pride cause 'Yentl' is taking on the man.

Robert Crumb. Prince Valiant. Peanuts.

Those screams of terror you heard last week emanated from the lungs of Mariner fans, who learned that Aaron Sele will likely be the team's fifth starter in 2005.
