Love the song “Breakeven”? That’s from the Irish band The Script. A new CD from the band is a ways off, but this one new tune leaked over the internets. Their leak is our gain. Enjoy!

See The Script in Seattle Saturday October 16th at Showbox Market

With his bad ass art rock ensemble Roxy Music, he created The Greatest Makeout Album Of All Time:

FACT: Over A Million Babies Were Conceived To This Album

As a solo artists he’s released Avalon-esque discs like Slave To Love and Mamouna and recently a whole album of Dylan covers. But he’s back with another Avalon-esque cd that reunites him with several Roxy musicians including Brian Eno! Chili pepper Flea plays bass on the disc along with a whole host of music luminaries. Oh, and did I mention Bryan Ferry looks like this?

Don't Ever Have Your Photo taken With This Man!

Trust me on this one…no matter how pretty, or sexy, or macho you think you are, you will look like a troll standing by Bryan Ferry’s side. We’re just too mortal!

Bryan Ferry’s new cd Olympia will be in stores on Oct 25th. Plan on adding a bundle of  joy to your family exactly 9 months later. Here a sample:

Bryan Ferry – You Can Dance – Radio

You can thank me later…Shawn works as a boy or girl’s name, by the way ; )

I bet this is the only blog published today featuring Crowded House, Tina Fey, and a a caramel peach pie. Go ahead, prove me wrong!

Crowded House At The Winery

Saturday night, Crowded House played a great set at Chateau St Michele WINERY. Why the emphasis on the booze? Keep reading. The band did something very unique. They gave out USB drives so that you could buy the new album and get a copy of that night’s show delivered right to your computer. Or maybe you had to buy the USB drive and then everything was downloaded automatically to your computer. Honestly, the details on the offer were kind of sketchy, I know there was a USB drive involved…did I mention the show was at the WINERY??

Caramel Peach Pie

Sunday I celebrated Peach O Rama by baking this super yummy caramel peach pie from Gourmet Magazine July 2009. (RIP Gourmet Magazine) And then sat down in front of the tele to eat it and watch every second of Emmy coverage. Yes, I love TV, even awards shows, but rarely have I been this invested.

Recognize These Ladies?

Yes! That is Ask The Md’s very own VP of Content, Kat Lenhart being snuggled by Tina Fey! Kat worked on the Emmy production team, wore a head set, carried a clip board, was seen on TV during those shots when they cut to the Director’s room, and blogged about her whole experience. Kat even took a moment out to call her former supervisor (me) while roaming the red carpet during a break. I am so proud of her that I didn’t mind being hung up on when she bumped into Lea Michelle from Glee. You can read Kat’s entire behind the scenes account here: http://katlenhart.com

Hope you had a great weekend!

…was a big night in West Seattle. Hundreds of folks packed Easy Street Records to check out the first ever live performance by Fistful of Mercy. FOM, you ask? It’s a super group of sorts, just like The Wiburys, only this group consists of Ben Harper, Joseph Arthur, and Dhani Harrison, George Harrison’s son.

I’ll get some more photos and vid up in a bit, but a quick google search will probably score you tons of photos and video; it was cell phone and flip cam central last night.

The Mysterious DJ Gold Toe snapped this photo of me and Ben post show. Yeah, i kissed him and people, he tasted good.

Mercy!

Ok, UPDATE. A tall man in the madness helped me by snapping a few photos during the instore. I know, not the best quality, but you’ll get the gist. And by gist I mean, how much does Dhani Harrison look like pa.

Dhani Harrison

Tall Guy Strikes Again

Dhani's father Looks on From A Magazine Cover!

It’s the new verse-chorus-verse: something soft, followed by something loud, followed by something soft again. Honestly, I’m just making excuses for playing you 3 new songs I like that have nothing in common, except that I like them.

The first is from former Screaming Tree, Mark Lanegan and his collaborator Isobel Campbell of cherished Scottish indie band Belle & Sebastian. Wowee this is sexy-fied.

Come Undone

Next up it’s a song I first heard on a Holiday Inn ad campaign. I tracked it back to this Nashville fellow, Kyle Andrews. Fun and funky!

You Always Make Me Smile

And finally, well this is just a gorgeous rare acoustic version of Ray LaMontagne’s “Beg, Steal, Or Borrow” that needs to be heard.

Beg, Steal, or Borrow Acoustic

Today, intern Gavi and I show off some beautiful dahlias left behind after Melissa Etheridge’s Music Lounge and talk about how songwriters get paid. Or, as in the case of Live From The Mountain Music Lounge Volume 16, DON’T get paid.

See if you can keep one as you survey the scene outside the Lady Gaga show at the Tacoma Dome on Saturday night. I sent a secret spy to infiltrate the legions of Little Monsters because…I was curious! Thought you might be too. Here’s what said spy smuggled out:

So Gaga They Forgot Their Pants!

Icey Hot!

The R Rated Portion Of Our Show

The Gaga Gang's All Here!

Woah! Wrong Turn At The Kiss Concert?

Thanks to Super Spy Maia for making me wish I had made it to the show, and to Lady Gaga for bringing a little theatricality back to the denim clad music crowd.

It’s hard to imagine having this much craziness at say, a Train show!

My heart goes out to Glen Hansard, one of the most genuine performers you’ll ever see, and all of The Swell Season.

Witnessing the death of a fan while on stage performing is traumatic enough, but now it becomes a part of The Swell Season story and they will undoubtedly be asked abut the incident in interviews for years to come. Here are the details of what happened and a statement from the band.

We love you, Swell Season and will welcome you to Seattle with warm, open arms. Our thoughts are with you and with the friends and family of the victim.

Here’s a peak at the new Robert Plant video. Bragging rights if you know who’s driving The Lion King around the ‘hood.

Also note: BIG Plant spread in the new Mojo magazine. And nice leather pants, too!
