Q&A with Monotonix; Playing 529, December 8
By Giles Turnbull, photo by Josh Sanseri Monotonix is a three-piece rock band, originally from Tel Aviv, Israel, who tour year-long on an adrenalin rush of chaos and creativity. Monotonix typically set up in front of the stage, believing totally in audience interaction; don’t be surprised if they steal your beer. Given the mayhem, more […]
Live Review: Joanna Newsom at The 40 Watt, November 18
By David Courtright Over the course of Joanna Newsom’s short but impactful career, critics have clamored to define her, to harness the wild strands of her style and composition into separable, ornate distinctions. Her early work borders on unlistenable, depending on what kind of ears you have. As her career has progressed, her work has […]

CD Review: The Posies — Blood/Candy; Playing The Loft, November 20
The Posies Blood/Candy Rykodisc By Al Kaufman A shade over 20 years ago, when everyone else in Seattle was donned in flannel and singing about slitting their wrists, The Posies released Dear 23, and, for some people in Seattle, the rain stopped, the clouds lifted, and the coffee tasted a little less bitter. The few […]

CD Review: Cee-Lo Green — The Lady Killer
Cee-Lo Green The Lady Killer Elektra By Al Kaufman Was it gimmicky, stupidity, brilliance, or just plain arrogance to release a first single with a title that all but guaranteed no radio airplay? For Cee-Lo, it was clearly the latter two. “Fuck You,” like his monster hit with Gnarls Barkley, “Crazy,” is just too powerful […]
