It's a weekend full of "fests" this time around. A veritable festival of...fests. Including EndFest with the Smashing Pumpkins in a parking lot somewhere, Oktoberfest in Fremont with lots of tasty local bands and Decibel all over the place. Here's a video for Decibel participant Kill Memory Crash: more ›

Oh Seattle, you make us feel so . more ›

Hopefully you didn't waste your money this weekend having lunch in hell, because tomorrow the long-awaited Carnavas from the Silversun Pickups will be released – just in time to pick it up and get acquainted before the Silversun Pickups do their thing at the Capitol Hill Block party this Saturday. more ›

You may be pleased to know that the entire Smashing Pumpkins catalog is available digitally for the first time. The incredible mediocrity of Corgan's Zwan and any Pumpkin's album after 'Pisces Iscariot' did an excellent job of diminishing the legacy of the band, that said we'll take 'Siamese Dream' or 'Gish' on a pure enjoyment level over Nirvana's 'Nevermind' any day of the week. (Yes, we know that 'Nevermind' is a more 'important' album). This new release contains 114 tracks of b-sides and some never-before-released rarities. So fire up iTunes, MSN Music, Rhapsody, Napster or Bob's Ye Olde Digital Music Store to grab some Pumpkins. more ›
