NICK LICATA'S AFTERNOON DELIGHT: The City Council's Nick Licata wants to save the P-I this afternoon. KOMO puts it bluntly [UPDATE: and wrongly, says Licata's office--Licata wants simply to discuss newspapers formed as an L3C (low-profit, limited liability corporation).]: "Licata's plan: convince the city to intervene by putting up its own money to keep in print the oldest newspaper in town." He's convened a Superfriends panel--Roger Simpson and Douglas Underwood, Professors of Communication from the University of Washington; attorney Anne Bremner, Co-Chair of the Committee for a Two Newspaper Town; Beth Hester, programming manager for Seattle Channel; Liz Brown of the PacNW Newspaper Guild; David Brewster, publisher of Crosscut; and Jennifer Towery, President of the Peoria Newspaper’s Guild--to help him. Unfortunately he's made one huge mistake--most people are at work at 2 p.m. If you're near a TV, tune in to Seattle Channel 21, or you can watch the live webcast.

It's hard to believe, but the Dandy Warhols' sixth studio full-length (and the first on their own label) Earth To The Dandy Warhols will be out this August.

Things are pretty dead, what with all the local music folk in Austin. Here's your limited options:

Last summer (ah, summer!) we drove down to Portland for their annual Pickathon Roots Music Festival, where we found ourselves exposed to all manner of folkies from Portland and beyond. One of the bands that stole the weekend for us was from Indiana, of all godforsaken places. On Saturday night, Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band played a show in the barn that seriously blew our mind. Joined by Seattleite Jason Webley, they just played a flat-out barn burner of a show.
