06.26.2009 Ty Blue's Insider Look at Bumbershoot: June 21-27
Two ladies share the PR internship, conjoining their minds to tackle projects. Bumbershoot Insiders lovingly refer to Bailey and Alex as Bailex, or The Twins. On Thursday, one half of that dynamic duo (Alex) and I connected with Head Like a Kite for a recording session at an iconic Seattle studio. Dave and Trent have dynamo tracks already; keep tabs on these two because I suspect they’ll go far, and I’ll cherish these memories!
Speaking of going far, major props to everyone running the Seattle Rock & Roll Marathon this Saturday. When you breeze through 26.2 miles, think of me, the sprawled out fool gasping for breath way back at the .262-mile mark. Yeah, I’m not exactly athletic, so I’ll be planted at the Bumberbooth where I will be cheering for all you runners, walkers and mad-dashers. After you cross the finish line, stop by the booth and I’ll congratulate you with a Bumbershoot button!
The icing on the cake was today. John from Teatro ZinZanni, a.k.a. J-Flo, took me to the spiegeltent’s costume room to get FABOOSH for the Seattle Pride Parade on Sunday. And, I made my personal Pride playlist full of Bumbershoot artists with celebratory tracks that get me hyped and remind me of the gaiety in my life (listed below).
“Poster of Girl” – Metric
“Not a Love Song” – UH HUH HER
“Open Your Eyes” – U.S.E
“Monster Hospital” (MSTRKRFT remix) – Metric
“First Communion” – Gang Gang Dance
“Boom Boom Pow (David Guetta Remix) – The Black Eyed Peas
“Yeah Yeah” (Flosstradamus Remix) – Matt & Kim
“Milkshake” – Holy F**K
“Sophisticated Side Ponytail” – Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head
“Street Justice” – MSTRKRFT
“Violet Stars Happy Hunting” – Janelle Monae

07.22.2008 Jonathan Evison's book notes
Jonathan Evison shares his notes for All About Lulu as part of Largeheartedboy’s Book Notes series, in which “authors create and discuss a music playlist that is in some way relevant to their recently published books.”
Evison: I’m a weeper—there, I’ve said it. And it’s safe to say that nothing makes me weep more frequently, more effusively, and more gratefully than the volatile combination of music and beer. A lot of beer. I like to get real dumb and listen to music in my headphones under the stars, and have a nice weep—I find it regenerative.

07.02.2008 The ultimate Beck playlist
IGN does the impossible and culls the many personas of Beck Hansen into one Ultimate Mix. It’s not definitive—where, for example, is “Beercan”?—but it’s a good overview nonetheless.
