MP3: Quest For Fire - Bison Eyes
MP3: Quest For Fire - Strange Waves
This album came out in June but who cares, right? As a rule, I hate ‘jam bands.’ When I saw the genre was ‘rock’ and most of the songs were over 5 minutes long, I was scared, I’m not going to lie. But when I saw titles like ‘Bison Eyes’ and ‘Hawk that Hunts the Walking,’ I knew it would be foolishness not to Read more

MP3: Lake - Breathing
We at Stereopathic take great pride in the fact that we have high musical standards and only bring the finest talent out to play for the Moscow/Pullman community. Even if a bands is unknown or the show is poorly attended, we’re always pleased that the music is top-notch.

So, even though we haven’t always had great things to say about Pitchfork, I can’t help but swell with pride when Read more

Photo Credits: Megan Baker PhotographyThe crowd at the hot Spokane venue The Filling Station undulated like a wind-swept sea. A black-suited man skipped across the black stage and was framed by a spotlight. He waved, awkwardly. A 15 year-old girl somewhere in that crowd, I’m sure, fainted. Hello, Owl City.

An inspiration to insomniacs everywhere, Adam Young spent the owlish hours of the night sprinkling fairy-dust on electronika and the pensive cynicism of Gen X groups like Postal Service. “I can’t sleep unless I take sleeping pills,” he says, Read more

brSo - I end up doing this all day via instant message with my friends, facebook here and there, and lala.com. I might as well make it official, eh?

So, here’s Larson’s List (of things worth checking out) for today.

Cool new Land of Talk music video. These rockers don’t often lay down mellow jams like this one, but when they do, you’d better be ready for something cool. Stereopathic’s Seattle correpsondant, Robert Ham, will be covering their Read more

They are each of them a Dutchess or a DukeThe Dutchess and the Duke are doing what a lot of bands do: maturing. They played a great set at Portland’s Scion Garage Fest this past Saturday. Theirs was an interesting position; playing between rum-swilling Seattle garage-punkers, The Spits, and shocking-stage-antics based “flower punks”, Black Lips. The Dutchess and the Duke showcased their older, wiser sound by filling the stage with five musicians. Besides the usual two guitars from lead singer Jesse Lortz and vocal partner Kimberly Morrison, there was percussion, bass guitar and Read more

MP3: “Seven” by Sunny Day Real Estate

Sunny Day Real Estate Live
10/15/09
The Knitting Factory
Spokane, WA

This will be the farthest thing from any sort of objective review. I assume that most critical reviews at least feign some objectivity or apply some sort of blanket standard for what makes a good live show. I even have that standard, and, by all accounts, I can easily and without question say that Sunny Day Real Estate is the best live band I have ever seen. Read more

Langhorne Slim

It “fills me with joy” to make music, says Sean Scolnick, the very slim guitar-man of Langhorne Slim. “It’s like singing or dancing when you’re alone and in the shower. Before I played guitar, I felt like I needed to make something – I’m lucky that I stumbled across guitar. I don’t know what makes you want do the things that you want to do – it’s just something inside of you that wants to come out, as somebody I think once said.” Read more
