We re-learned an important lesson this afternoon: when nearing overwhelm status, listen to some legendarily good music. You'll feel better. That said, put on "Seed 2.0" by The Roots and read today's music edition of Seattlest's local blog round-up.

When John Roderick isn't writing hilarious lies about other musicians, he's fronting one of Seattle's best indie rock bands, The Long Winters.

Seattlest is quaking in their boots (bought especially for the occasion) with excitement for this years SXSW in Austin, Tex. We're making our initial sojourn to the festival and are so pleased to see there will be a strong Seattle contingent joining us in Austin this year.

Right on the heels of the announcement that the Mars Volta was added to the Sasquatch lineup, and right before tickets go on sale this Saturday, the three-day music festival has seen fit to delineate who will be playing on which day:

After months of wild speculation, the official 2008 Sasquatch lineup has finally been announced:

Why hip-hop?

Katelyn Hackett attends local hiphop shows. She will write about them for Seattlest.

We tried to keep an open mind for last Thursday’s show at Neumo’s (featuring The Cops, Amusement Parks on Fire, Silversun Pickups, and Nine Black Alps). Sometimes, however, you know things well in advance, like that perhaps you’re too well-versed in rock to hear what all the kids are hearing in these new shit-flavors of the month bands because you’ve already found those hundred or so bands, that to you, started it all. And because it’s being presented by 107.7 The End, a station you haven’t listened to since high school.

Seattle's most webtastic indie rock groupies afficianados Three Imaginary Girls will be kicking it with the pros on Saturday at the KEXP studio for another of their excellent Audioasis appearences. It may sound like a knock when we say "These TIG appearances on Audioasis are great for keeping up with TIG's friends' bands," but then you realize that that encompasses just about anyone playing music in the city. There's only three of them, right? Somehow they seem to shmooze at an easy half dozen shows a night and report on a full ten the next morning, but that's great for everyone who lives an Imaginary Life through their site. Which includes us. That's not to mention that there's just flat out nobody having as much fun on the local internets as Three Imaginary Girls.
