My favorite music venue in Seattle

I love going to shows here. The only thing that stinks a bit about it is that it’s a bit pricey, so we don’t go too often. The sound, the ambience, the food (from it’s restaurant, Wild Ginger)… It’s down on 3rd & Union.

An security expert hired by 11 Oklahoma State University students picks apart the testimony of the RIAA’s own expert witness, pointing out the oversimplifications made by the RIAA in its lawsuits against suspected file-sharers. Read the PDF document, it’s awesome. This guy is basically a trusted expert by the FBI, the Secret Service, and he has various National Security Agency certifications, so he likely does undisclosed for them. Toss in little things like a CISSP and being keynote speaker at security conferences…? He outright pwnz the RIAA’s “technical” nonsense on file sharing in this legal document, and it’s awesome.

I signed up. If you want to be a music voyeur, this is what I’m listening to.
I’ve been swamped at work of late, and we’ve been out and about a fair bit when not working to decompress. That’s why the blog and Livejournal had gone dead of late, and it’s taking me ages to get back to anyone on e-mails and Instant messaging (among other things, that are done with…). We just got back from a three day weekend with family out on the Olympic Peninsula, and this week looks to be even more hectic. It’s the Bite of Seattle, Dolores O’Riordan is playing Seattle, and some crappy book is coming out on Friday (pre-delivered from Amazon, w00t!).
And, if all goes well, I may be the owner of one of these bad boys for only $350 this week, rather than the $550 retail price. Long, convoluted story. Suffice it to say, Sprint takes care of customers with accounts dating back over ten years for their cellular service when push comes to shove. For the nerds out there, yes, I know a ‘newer’ model with Windows Mobile 6 is out this very week. I don’t need nearly the firepower that model has, and I specifically need Windows Mobile 5 for my purposes. This model will easily last me 1.5 to 2.5 years, I’d imagine. It’s not the best smartphone for Sprint. That would probably be the IP-830W, but that’s a sexy international model. Which I can’t afford, and again, Windows Mobile 6. Alas.
I do love having a million things to do, though. It’s refreshing. So is the nice tan I got this weekend, and the fact that I spent time in as close the real world is going to get to the Misty Mountains. Just gorgeous, out there.
Try to guess what band we’re going to see tonight, at the Triple Door?
Folklife starts today in Seattle Center, for the holiday weekend. Anyone going? Tons of great music, each year.
She’s playing a show in Seattle in July. I wanna go!
This is such a great song. Yes, I posted it a month or two ago. So? Listen to it!
The Paperboys are playing the Showbox downtown for St. Patty’s day! Hurray! Go check them out, listen to their music on MySpace. Amazing, amazing band. I think this’ll be my 5th or 6th time, and Andi’s 11th or 12th. This song, Going Places, is getting to be my favorite, from their last album:
I’m going places with no traces of home
Where the faces are foreign I can wander and roam
Never been on this road but I like where it’s going
Carry me further into the unknownI’m watching the runway from here in the lounge
Last call for boarding and then I’ll be bound
To a new destination and different days
To lift me beyond the far and awayI’m going places, with no traces of home
Where the faces are foreign I can wander and roamThe birds and the bells they go too much to tell
They come early and loud introducing themselves
Its in these moments I float in between
The light in the room and the shadows of dreams
I’m going places, with no traces of home
Where the faces are foreign I can wander and roam
I posted some Paperboys vidoes (live, and actual video) here before. Go see!
Last year (around our weddding anniversary), my wife and I went to see The Paperboys at the Triple Door downtown. Awesome, awesome show. She snagged two short videos on the camera. Enjoy!
While you’re at it, check out these two music videos that they uploaded themselves to YouTube themselves. We freaking love these guys.
Fragile (from The Road To Ellenside):
My wife says they aren’t Emo. Are they?!
We saw the Greencards at the Triple Door Thursday night, and are going back tonight to see the Paperboys. Anyone else been there? It’s a dinner theater, and such a nice place to see a show…
Yes, I’m a nerd.
I love working to scored music, I guess…
Jump in my car. Don’t ask, don’t wait. Just click. lolomg
I want this as my cell phone ring tone. I’ll have to redo it to get it into my phone. I currently have Johnny Cash’s CRY CRY CRY, but figured I am about due for something new. And on that note I need to get out of the house.
