A stranger in Seattle!
I'm going to be visiting Seattle with my family the first weekend of April, and think it would be cool to meet some of my fellow music community nerds who reside in the Seattle area. If anyone is be up for a hangout / meetup at Live On Mars in Cap HIll one of those days, please reply to this post and we'll figure something out. Maybe we'll get more than a couple of people and I'll call ahead and try to reserve a space? Who knows. Even if only one or two people are up for it, I'd love to have an extra reason to pay a visit to the bar and patronize the kind of place that I could only wish existed in the town I live in. I'm planning for either Thursday, April 2nd or Friday, April 3rd - so let me know if you want to join on either day. Depending on responses and schedules yet to be determined, I'll pick a day that works and we'll see who can make it.

I saw this in another group and thought this group would like it
Greatest one line in a song ever, not a verse, chorus or bridge. Let's hear 'em

Not sure if I think it's the greatest, but I think about it a lot: "No one wants to hear what you dreamt about unless you dreamt about them.", Made Up Dreams by Built to Spill

‘Bad’ concert behaviour
I was at a show last night and the person next to me was singing along to every word of every song. While that in and of itself is not a crime (maybe a bit of moderation mighta been nice?), this person also couldn’t have found the right key with GPS. Is there anything at a concert that absolutely drives you nuts when someone near you does it?

Talking is the worst -- in my experience, no matter how polite and nice you ask, the talkers seem extremely defensive. The worst was Jonathan Richman at the old new Croc, right when Amazon was starting to take over SLU. It was August, super hot night, but Jonathan Richman requested that the air conditioning be turned off because it was too loud. If he had an amp, it was barely on, maybe it was entirely acoustic. And this dude was talking at full volume, after asking him to go somewhere else, he just said "Well if you want to hear the music so bad, why don't you go to the front of the room?" Eventually he left.

when things feel heavy
When I'm doing the show and I play some mellow or sad music, I often get people checking in if I'm okay. The irony is, that is not what I go to when I'm feeling down. I go to the classics, the anchors, the seminal records that have kept me afloat all these years like The Joshua Tree, Earth Sun Moon, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Let Me Come Over, Cooper Blue and many many more. I'm curious, when things feel heavy, what kind of music do you reach for? Quiet? Loud? Familiar? Something new?

Depends on the gravity of emotion. Sometimes shoegaze, particularly My Bloody Valentine, is the best remedy. Sometimes Bach - no idea why, but Bach clears my mind out at times.
