7 Lessons Anyone [YOU] Can Learn from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

The Grammys are a usually a lovely nightcap to the previous year’s music. Some celebration, some tension, a little drama and some nice performances. And whether or not you agree with where the Grammy Committee’s voting ended up in any category - one thing is for sure: 4 Grammy’s from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - who to this day are not signed to a record label - is impressive. And perhaps what’s more impressive IMHO... read more ›

Songs For Eating And Drinking on The Boob Tube

http://www.viddler.com/player/68613c7f/Psyched (and happily surprised) that our Songs for Eating and Drinking project was deemed worthy of a 30 minute television special last week. Sample it here or if you prefer the boob tube, it runs several more times this month on The Local Music Show with John Richards (The Seattle Channel - cable 21) at 8:30pm on Thursdays and some other late night slots too. With any luck, this sucker is going global. Booyah-kashah. __

Hundreds of bands, theater, performance, food, it’s a 3 day festival in September. Very cool.... read more ›
