If you didn't get enough of Sub Pop during all the recent twentieth anniversary festivities, tonight's another opportunity to salute the local label. Starting at 8 p.m. tonight, Mudhoney and No Age play a free show in the KEXP parking lot (113 Dexter Avenue N.) as part of the Toyota/Urban Outfitters Free Yr Radio concert series benefiting independent radio stations, including KEXP. The event's free, but you gotta print our your e-ticket at freeyrradio.com. more ›

Strange bedfellows Urban Outfitters and Toyota Motor Sales are teaming up—as they did last year—to "support and publicize" the audio goodness that is independent radio. Again dubbed Free Yr Radio, this effort means free live music in 10 American cities, including Seattle. more ›

Seattlest is too cool for the Gap and too busy for thrift. How's a thirty-something guy to dress himself, then? We handle it by wearing the same two pairs of jeans and the same four shirts in different configurations every day. Then, once a year, when we're in Chicago to visit family and friends we make a point to get to H&M downtown to replace two of our shirts. Right now we're kind of hurting--the last visit to Chicago happened to be in February when it was a billion below. We were on Michigan Avenue, even, but couldn't make it the last few blocks to H&M. It was like being turned back from the summit of Everest with only a hundred feet or so to go: we could have gotten our two shirts but we would have sacrificed a few fingers or toes to frostbite for them. If you're not familiar with H&M they're like the Ikea of clothing. Aside from also being Swedish, they sell stylish (arguably), cheaply manufactured (arguably) clothes for reasonable (unarguably) prices. You can look reasonably well-dressed if you outfit yourself head to toe there, and, ok, it is a little like Urban Outfitters but you'll be a lot less cheesy, a little more Euro and will be enfattening the wallet of some faceless Swedes instead of that right-wing guy who owns Urban Outfitters. The first time we went into an H&M we were in Berlin where they were on almost every single corner, like Starbucks or something. It was paradise. We buy our underwear there, and almost exclusively there. We need a fifth shirt, badly, to round out the work week. It's been a while and we're getting desperate, which is why this wholly unsubstantiated, but entirely believable rumor has us so excited: more ›

Another day, another new contributor. Today's the day that Kim Rollins (not pictured) starts rolling with the Seattlest crew and we're happy to have her even if she's iffy on whether she hearts us back. We're sure you'll love her. Here she is, the glamorous Kim Rollins! more ›
