Newaxeyes: We regret being accidentally booked after a bluegrass bar-band and watching them take 45 minutes to break down their washboards. We do not regret clearing out the place. We regret spending more time drinking at Bar Sue than practicing. We do not regret spending almost no money there.
Kimberly Morrison (The Dutchess & the Duke): I regret not being around to destroy a bongo drum when it was left briefly unattended outside of Bimbos. I also regret that I had responsibilities that prevented me from following the Aislers Set to every single city they played in September! Mostly I regret having to spend my money on dumb shit like rent—I'd much rather buy guitars.
Jamie Aaron Aux: I regret the office-dazed lunchtime stroll when I walked right past Krist Novoselic on Third and Pike and did not honor my teenage Nirvana obsession by stopping to meet him. He was wearing a bowler hat with legendary confidence.
Whitney Petty and Molly Sides (Thunderpussy): Whitney: I regret not grabbing Ben Gibbard's ass the other night. I regret not quitting the Grizzled Mighty sooner.
Molly: I regret whipping myself in the face the day the bullwhip came into our lives, and also those 32-ounce margaritas in Everett. Both of them.
Thunderpussy also regret not having enough money to invest in the space program.
Erik Blood: I regret sitting through Oculus when I knew damn well it was a piece of shit 10 minutes in. I regret the final bourbon I had the night I lost my wallet. I regret not buying tickets for my parents to see Dina Martina. They'd love that shit, and I would love watching them love it.
Min Yee (Dreamsalon, Universe People): The only regret I have is that when I saw my mom last weekend, I didn't say "SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!"
Shannon Perry (Gazebos): I regret taking 33 years to discover the magic of Memory Foam mattress pillow tops. I also regret joke-eating a cheeseburger on the flight home from Mexico and ending up passed out on the airport bathroom floor in San Francisco, covered in shit and puke.
Tendai Maraire (Shabazz Palaces, Chimurenga Renaissance): I regret buying a Benz from Landmark Motors in Bellevue, Washington. The engine went out in less than 100 miles and has since cost me over $10K, and it still ain't running. I regret not staying in Zimbabwe a week longer so I could see my sister's grave and hug my youngest sister. I regret not going to the Super Bowl. What the hell was I thinking? The whole Brick Lane Records crew was there but me.
Robin Edwards (Lisa Prank): My biggest 2014 regret is venturing outside of my karaoke comfort zone that one time and totally bombing Everclear's "Santa Monica." I should've just stuck with "All the Small Things." Runners-up: accepting free body-spray samples, throwing out my back diving off the high dive at Madison Beach, adventures in DIY bangs cutting, and missing the Girlpool show instead of ditching work.
Chloe Harris (Raica, DJ/producer, co-owner of Further Records): I regret not being supremely rich and able to personally see that record shops continue to stay open forever. I regret how Capitol Hill has turned into Belltown, with a dose of Pioneer Square and Kent. I regret being cynical toward everything and nothing.
Mindie Lind (Inly): Sam Doores of the Deslondes spent the night and left his tighty-whities underwear at my house. I really regret not asking as many people as I could to wear the undies over their clothes, parading the panties all over town, and creating an Instagram hashtag #shouldnthaveleftem. I also regret getting drunk and asking one of my rock 'n' roll heroes to sing "I've Been Working on the Railroad" with me during an interview and recording it. I always regret not having more sex with more losers. At the time, I'm usually like, no fuckin' way! What a loser! But looking back, it's like, fuck it, they're just losers and it's just sex, right? In 2015, I plan to have a lot more sex with a lot more losers. But I say that every year...
D'Vonne Lewis (Industrial Revelation): I regret not spending more time with my loved ones. I regret missing the Stevie Wonder concert at KeyArena. I regret that all-expenses-paid, five-star-hotel-and-cruise, $3,000-shopping-spree, all-you-can-eat steak, lobster, and bacon, unlimited Scotch, whiskey, and champagne, daily-jet-skiing-on-the-ocean, every-night-a Lamborghini-pulling-up-to-the-club-with-two-of-the-most-beautiful-people-I-know, tropical paradise trip that I was invited to but didn't go on because I had a gig at a nursing home in Tukwila, Washington!
Jared Cortese (The Jesus Rehab): I regret learning that Paseo closed. I was content making plans to get a sandwich there for years.
Julia Massey: I regret googling the nutritional facts for General Tso's chicken. It's not like I didn't already know that shit was in there.
Austin Stone (booker at Kremwerk): I regret kicking out a performer before their set at Kremwerk. They were tripping balls and in the process of moving to San Francisco, so they brought every single piece of clothing and furniture to the club and proceeded to construct an elaborate altar of books, poems, trinkets, speakers, and electronic gear. They were going off the deep end by this point and being a total dick to the promoter, so we had to shut them down. They also brought about 30 different outfits and gowns, and tried on every single costume while being kicked out. I had to get members of the audience and security to escort them out and put all their shit outside in our parking lot. Their ride bailed on them, so they chose to sleep outside all night. I wish I let them play; their bric-a-brac shrine was incredible, and I was stoked to see it come to life.
Furniture Girls: Furniture Girls regret that we and our fans drank the Benbow Room out of whiskey at our show on November 14. We also regret not brown-bagging it that night.
Scot Porter (Vox Mod, Lazer Kitty): I regret the times my depression and disenchantment got the best of me. I also regret not consuming as many corn dogs as possible.
Golden Gardens: We regret smiling. It happened, and we're not proud of it, and we know you're disappointed in us. Also, Aubrey regrets pouring a massive amount of glitter all over the stage and carpeted floor of the Rendezvous from the hollow cavity of a decapitated baby doll's torso on Halloween and then not cleaning it up. She knows she made a mess, and she's sorry, but she'd probably do it again.
Corey J. Brewer: I totally spaced out on the fact that Pharoah Sanders was playing at Earshot Jazz Festival and I was out of town. It hurts my heart just typing that out. Also, this year I finished watching Berlin Alexanderplatz and started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I shouldn't have waited this long to enjoy either.
Jenn Ghetto (Silly Goose, S): I kind of regret watching season 10 of Grey's Anatomy. I also regret not seeing this Miley Cyrus Bangerz Tour.
Brian Yeager (Deep Creep): I regret that we continue to fight, kill, and debate human equality in all forms, and that Freddie Mercury is not alive to sing us songs about it. I don't catch as many fish as I did when I was young because our waters have been poisoned by greed, and I regret that George Harrison is not around to sing me songs about it.
Joel Cuplin (Constant Lovers): I regret falling asleep while watching Sharknado 2: The Second One. Was that Robert De Niro driving a cab? Shit yeah, Vivica A. Fox! Was that Biz Markie working in a pizza shop? Was I dreaming? Why isn't there a shark and/or a tornado emoji on my stupid phone??? Bring it on, 2015!
