Guess I Got My Swagga Back

Words don't even capture this jam. Gnarly. Grimey. Heavy. That's a start. Many thanks to Astronomar for hipping me to this! I advise turning it up.

Macklemore is Back!

Many thanks to OFS for hipping me to this! Macklemore was one of the first Seattle artists I ever heard and The Language of My World still gets play to this day. Glad to see he is making new music again! Enjoy the above video and peep out this other leak all about The Town.

Fresh Espresso Rendevous Concert from Stephan Gray on Vimeo.

I know, I know I'm not in Seattle anymore. But damn these guys put on a live show and have delivered the first album of the year I can't take out of my CD player (seriously, it has followed me from my house to my car and right back inside since I got it). I've been telling anyone who will listen to check 'em out and above is a video that demonstrates better than I ever could what you are missing.

Fresh Espresso!!! Out for Stardom. Northwest stay rising in the '09.
