10.09.2008 Joshua Morrison interviewed at Bumbershoot
Singer-songwriter and US Soldier Joshua Morrison was scheduled to perform at Bumbershoot, but a sudden redeployment meant he had to cancel his show on the Wells Fargo Stage. Fortunately, Joshua was able to make his special appearance for KEXP in the Bumbershoot Music Lounge (scheduled one day before his public performance). Current TV captured an interview with the soft spoken soldier, posted on their site this week.

09.10.2008 BENT Is Better Than Food
Monday was a day of decisions, for me. Should I walk across the entire Festival grounds to see two Jon Vanderslice songs? Should I postpone work to watch Death Cab For Cutie, and probably end up working until about 3 AM as a result? Should I ask Sondre Lerche to autograph my lower back, and then have it made into a tattoo? (The answers to those questions are Yes, Yes, and I should have but didn’t).
So, I was ready to make one more executive decision on Monday, around 5 PM: should I go get free, delicious Indian food on my dinner break, or should I go to the Bumbershoot Music Lounge (and KEXP live broadcast from a top secret venue) and enjoy the frenetic punk-rock of Black Eyes And Neckties? The other decisions were easy enough to make (I had a tattoo artist all picked out and everything!) but this one concerned one of the more important aspects of my existence: eating. And not just eating, but eating Indian food, that was free (that took it to a whole ‘nother level). I read the book Sophie’s Choice in high school, and this reminded me of that. Like, it made my head hurt. (I only got about 40 pages into it. Was it good?)
I’ve seen Black Eyes And Neckties before. I’ve had Indian food before. I made my choice accordingly. I snuck into the Music Lounge just before the show started, hungry and hoping for my choice to be validated. I could not have gotten a better show if I tried, in exchange for my dinner. Bradley Horror, confined to a wheelchair after a recent spill at Totalfest, was in top form, ringed by his wildly thrashing band-mates, more than making up for his lack of mobility with his frantic vocals. In case you weren’t there, here’s a little taste. You can tell me whether or not that’s worth going hungry (YES, IT WAS).
