This is why I always say a polite "hey, crow" whenever I pass near one. And I haven't been attacked… yet.

That's "Story Games Seattle"—you know, like it says in the URL…

Hey Anna, rather amusing. I'm also amused that it looks like the haters all missed the fact that you did like the title track a lot. In terms of you "just not getting it", it may be worth mentioning that the '80s version of King Crimson is rather different from this, and the '90s-to-recent versions are different again, although if you ever listened to that much you'd start to see the musical connections, I believe. (It helps that they keep adding more parts to "Larks' Tongues in Aspic"…) In any case, I think you'd find the '80s version more accessible (which is not a bad thing) but still with some challenging instrumentals.

Also, was that really Trey Gunn for real? That's fantastic. Made me laugh out loud. I had no idea he was in Seattle now.

…I would not be too sure that electro-wave doesn't already exist.

Also, I am now a huge fan of thrum and bass.

Mike picked Chrome, Dave picked Hüsker Dü, and Emily picked the Slits.

@6, if you have time on Thursday evenings, check out the Story Games Seattle group that meets up at Gamma Ray Games on Pine Street. It's geared toward story/role-playing games that are easy to learn and fun to play in an evening, without having to make a long-term commitment, but also a good way to transition into more hard-core gaming if that's what you're after.

Someone finally clued in YouTube, as it's now been removed for violating the terms of service.

What is up with performers smoking onstage this year? Zomby was doing it, Amon Tobin was when he came out for his final bow… the law still applies to you!

"I always wanted to hear them partner with a talented rapper and put together an album that landed squarely between rock and hiphop"

Interestingly, that sounds like a decent description of what Spencer's sister Muffin was flirting with in her band Brassy.
