The Rainier Valley Food Bank was robbed. Theives took hundreds of pounds of food that was locked up. This couldn’t be worse timing with Thanksgiving right around the corner. Let’s help provide them with a mountain of food. You can go to their website to see how to help.
It’s the story of the day that makes you go “Wow! That’s amazing!” The window washer that fell from a downtown building yesterday and was caught by his safety rope inches before hitting the ground. Click here to watch the news story and the video footage of the fall…it’s crazy!
Sean loves coffee…or at least he sure spends lots of time in coffee shops. Maybe he likes the free newspapers…regardless, he’s gonna be sitting and working on his laptop today (Friday) at Starbucks on 17480 Southcenter Parkway from 11-12:30ish. Nothing fancy…nothing to give away. Just a guy hanging out and he’d love to talk to you if you stop by. Do it on your lunch break!
All this week, listen between 5-6am for the Much Too Early For A Question Question. Be the first to give the correct answer and you’ll win yourself 3lbs of delicious See’s Candy!!
This is Steve! I met Steve at a Starbucks in Queen Anne. He’s a pretty interesting guy. He’s big into Medicine, music and making furniture. He also didn’t seem to mind that I took a picture of us with my iPhone. Also, a big hi to Kerra, Kim and Lyle who were fun to meet but not too keen on me taking their pictures. Lyle mentioned something about it stealing his soul.
I’ll have to look into that.
I get asked all the time… what’s the matter with you?
Second on that list (a far second) is what makes your music brain tick?
Well that a weird one to answer. You’re music tastes are based on what you experience, when you experience it and a certain amount of underlying peer pressure. Oh yeah there is peer pressure if you know it or not. Two different kinds… the kind where you desperately want to fit in and the kind where you desperately want to be seen as an individual. “I am a man… not an animal!”
So here’s a list (like everybody has) of the bands that matter the most to me… now:
Rolling Stones
The Verve
U2
Spoon
The Shins
Ryan Adams
RadioHead
REM
Pearl Jam
One Eskimo
Moby
Miles Davis
Led Zeppelin
Kings Of Leon
Great Northern
Elton John (pre 1976)
Duffy
Death Cab For Cutie
The Clash
Bruce Springsteen
Billy Holiday
Beck
Arcade Fire
If this list means anything to you or you can decipher what kind of dolt I am from it. Then go you.
Now a (oh so self important) list of my favorite songs of all time. Yes, I’ve actually been able to get it down to six. In no particular order…
How Soon Is Now – The Smiths It’s not so much Morrissey’s voice or words but more the Johnny Marr guitar that tears at your soul.
Bittersweet Symphony – The Verve – If you’ve ever seen the video it empowers you to be focused, formidable, miserable and somewhat rude. An unhappy Richard Ashcroft creates music and lyrics that speak to the little pouty, outsider anarchist in all of us. OK, maybe not all of us… maybe just me.
Lucky Man – The Verve – Again, if you don’t feel like you’re looking over the sound from some hill with the wind in your hair, light drizzle on your face and a feeling of confident desperation… then you’re not listening loudly enough.
Born To Run – Bruce Springsteen – Holy crap! Did The Boss create one of the most enduring music and lyrics to ever slap a teenager across the face while he’s trying to figure out who he is and what he’ll stand for. Again the theme of desperation and want is HUGE!
Have Love Will Travel – The Sonics – This is not an attempt to pander here. If this band came from Iowa I would still feel like I do about this raw, alive, hard hated 60s rock. The rock saxophone alone could impale a coconut at 20 yards. Now what you’re doing trying to impale a coconut is your own business… but you get the idea.
These Are Days – 10,000 Maniacs – This is a pure song of joy. My wife Jenn and I love this song and I guess from a hokey aspect it could be considered “our song” … not that we’ve every identified it as so. I’m going to call her and see if it’s OK that I say it’s our song.
We put out the simple question this morning…where can we find some REALLY good pizza? And you answered the call! Here’s the list of your favorite local places.
Piecora’s in Seattle
Vics in Olympia
Delfino’s in Uvillage
Pegasus Pizza on Alki
Massimo’s Pizza
The Rock (multiple locations)
Northlake Tavern and Pizza House in Seattle
Seabeck Pizza in Seabeck
Tides Tavern in Gig Harbor
Atlantic Street Pizza in U District
Abruzzi’s in Normandy Park
Olympia House in Seattle
Acropolis Pizza in Everett
Sean’s been feeling his way around the area and today (Tuesday, November 17th) he’s gonna be hanging out at a Tully’s after the show if you want to say hi. This isn’t a fancy radio rpomotion. He’s not going to be giving anything away. Just a regular guy enjoying a cup of joe from 11am-12:30(ish). So if you have a question or just wanna chat with the new guy…please stop by. The Tully’s is located at 2100 N. 45th St. in Seattle.
I’m told that there is a volkwagen under all that cement. OK, fine… like… ok there it is. In Fremont this is art. OK, so it’s art just about anywhere but I’m guessing that you’re not likely to find a giant troll under bridge anywhere else. Correct me if I’m wrong here. There is a great town home I’m looking at just up the street from here. My hope is to give the following directions…
“Yeah and then turn left at the big cement troll.”
The best store in the world… ever! My goal for 2010 is live my life only using food and items from Archie McPhees!
If I get hurt… I’ve got Sushi Band Aids.
If my lips get dry and chapped… I’ve got Wasabi Lip Balm to keep my hot and happy.
If my head gets cold… I have got an under pants hat to keep me warm.
Who wouldn’t want to Hydrate from a Pickle Brine water bottle? The answer is no one… cha.
If I get hungry I can eat bacon flavored gum drops.
If I’m too happy I can get a bad attitude wrist band in several assorted colors.
Again, the life options are endless and it keeps me away from the mall where I could really get into trouble. Who can resist this stuff. I have the Horrified B Movie actions figures. It makes for moments of unabated fun!
