Screaming Tree's Classic.

Feeling a bit nostalgic tonight. Here is a tune by my favorite male vocalist, Mark Lanegan's old band, The Screaming Trees. Just found out that he has just released a CD with the dude from Afghan Whigs, Dulli. They are called "Gutter Twins" and also in May is teaming up with Isobel Campbell once again for what I am sure is to be another epic album.

Prowl of the Week.

A side window was shattered between 12:30 and 6:30 a.m. Nov. 15 to get into a Land Rover in the 2400 block of Westlake Ave. N. Stolen were a $450 GPS unit, the SUV's registration, an insurance card and $10 worth of dog biscuits. - Russ Zabel, Queen Anne News, Police Log

Note: Russ was a local & frequented our old watering hole "The Mecca" in Seattle. He would share with us the preposterous stories from the police blotter.

Whatcha Want ? ?

At the last minute, they announced a surprise Beastie Boys show at one of my favorite
Classic Seattle venues, The Crocodile Café. Would I have loved to have been there!! My first Beasties show was @ the 1994 Lollapalooza at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State. An awesome show it was. If you ever get a chance to see a show at either venue, go for it.
