Name This Building.
i too was captured by that building while working on a studio project in the neighborhood this past winter. never learned the name but it is gorgeous from the exterior.

HOLY SHIT: Prince Playing Four Shows at the Showbox Next Month.
i actually like the tacoma dome more than most folks, but, yeah, i'm even more excited by and happy for this news than i was when i read about the dome show a few years back, no matter if its the market or sodo (but yes, i'd prefer the market too, obviously). and yes, that tacoma show was a goddamn gem. eagerly looking for more info than this.

Did Macklemore Sellout With New NBA Ad?.
the other side to this arguement is, of course, that a #1 single or album automatically makes one a sellout, regardless of whatever their messages or agendas are (thrift stores, not being cooler b/c of gym shoes, etc.). not that i necessarily agree with this argument, but so it goes.

Did Macklemore Sellout With New NBA Ad?.
i'd venture to guess his (logical, given that he wrote a song about sneakers) love of the NBA trumped any political agenda he may have. people usually become sneaker heads, at least in the basketball sense of the word, because of an initial love of the game and/or NBA, not vice versa (folks becoming basketball fans b/c of an interest in high end shoes). maybe there are sneakerheads for other kinds of shoes, but i'd say those folks are just into fashion and/or other kinds of shoes, that term has always had a basketball connotation to me.

The Problem with "Paperman".
i'd have to agree paul. the animation and score are terrific but the story's really slight. the airplanes coming to life sorcerers apprentice style (sans bumbling of the apprentice, of course) is too much of a stretch. give me the opening sequence of up any day of the week.
