		<title>Complete 2010 Capitol Hill Block Party Rundown&#8211;Bam!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Todd Hamm
 
Friday
While the better part of my daylight hours on Friday were spent gawking over the gorgeous pastoral backdrop at a sunny farmland wedding, my night began with a shove through a chain-linked entrance in a gas station parking lot, into a knob-twisting funk display from a band named Holy Fuck. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oceansize &#8211; SuperImposer (leak)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Todd Hamm
The first leak from Oceansize's fourth album Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up is a return to the structured  chaos of early efforts like Everyone Into Position and the Music For Nurses EP. Released yesterday on the band's new Superball Music imprint, "SuperImposer" is bookended on either side with an edgy guitar [...]]]></description>

		<title>Michael Stegner &#8211; The Song &amp; the Story</title>

Posted by Aaron Ducat

I recently sat down with Michael Stegner, the songwriter, piano player and singer of the Seattle-based band Fascination Nation, to discuss the roots of his songwriting and the release of the band's upcoming album.  Below is a small impression of my time with Michael, as well as several videos of him [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gogol Bordello at The Mayan(LA)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Justin Hoyt
As the lights dimmed over the anxious crowd at The Mayan theater in downtown Los Angeles on Monday night, many who knew what I was about to find out roared their welcome for what would turn out to be one of the most engaging live bands I have ever witnessed. Fronted by the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Song of the Day: Guthrie Scarr &#8211; &#8220;Voice of Reason&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Todd Hamm
It's not often I'll stumble upon a honky tonk jam that's rompin' stompin' enough to hold my attention for three and a half minutes, wake me up like a slap in the face or cup of coffee, and--although it would undoubtedly be of the awkward mock square variety--make me feel like dancing.

		<title>Oceansize &#8211; Home &amp; Minor EP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Todd Hamm
Expansive, yet often airy and lithe, Oceansize's complex sense of melody has drawn comparison to everyone from Radiohead to Tool. It's been their ability to evolve and create within new parameters, to bound through seldom used sectors of their "genre" while maintaining a strangely cohesive aesthetic, that has set them apart from most progressive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avatar Young Blaze &#8211; Baptized in Vodka</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Todd Hamm

The infamous young rap pusher/gutter life documentarian Avatar Young Blaze released Baptized In Vodka today, the follow up to his sinister debut LP Warm Blooded Cold Heart; a disk he says got love everywhere from his current home city of Seattle to his native Russia, and even featured a verse from star of rap stars [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deftones &#8211; Live in Dallas web concert TODAY 5pm PST</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Todd Hamm
While the California trip-metal quintet has notably strayed from the raw, angst-driven hardcore of their cult adored debut  Adrenaline, and tended instead toward the often overproduced power ballads of White Pony and Saturday Night Wrist, the unprecedented love the band has shown their fans has more than kept their incredibly devout international [...]]]></description>

		<title>Head Like a Kite &#8211; We&#8217;re Always On the Wrong Side Of Sunrise video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Todd Hamm
The first single (second if you count "Director's Cut", which was generously donated to Cafe Vita's GIVE compilation) from HLAK's third album Dreams Suspend Night, comes with an suave video directed by Matt Wesson. Although the video doesn't quite compete with Chase Jarvis's prolific artistry on the "Director's Cut" vid, Wesson does a formidable [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guilty Simpson/Madlib-OJ Simpson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Justin Hoyt
There's very little question that the gulliest rap music coming out today is coming from Detroit. A city whose identity has long been fore-fronted as the capital of the financial downturn and whose crime and poverty seem to overshadow what has long been known to many as one of the countries greatest [...]]]></description>
