The Roads Less Traveled In Seattle
If you are in the process of making plans to visit Seattle Washington, I'm sure you've checked out all kinds of information about what there is to do and see in the area. There are many things that make all of the must do lists because they offer appeal to the greater population rather than things that would appeal to specific segments of population. I consider myself young, hip, and fun loving. While there are many things on the mass lists that I find appealing, I really like going off the beaten path just a little bit and finding things to do and places to see that aren't going to be overcrowded, overpopulated, and simply overdone. I like to find something that not every other tourist in the city is going to be standing in line in front of me to do. Here are a few of the nifty tours and other things I have found to do in Seattle. The first one on my list is the Private Eye on Seattle Murder and Mystery Tour. There are three tours offered, the Queen Anne Murder and Mystery Tour, the Capital Hill Tour (which each cost $25 per person and lasts about two and a half hours), and Haunted Happenings, which is also known as the Seattle Ghost Tour (this tour lasts about 3 hours and is also $25 per person). These are great for any fan of true crime or simply dusty old detective novels. They are not however, tours I would recommend for the squeamish or faint of heart. I recommend any one of these tours or all of them if possible. They are a great way to spend your time while in Seattle. After a trip with Private Eye on Seattle, you simply must check out the Seattle Museum of the Mysteries, which is a museum dedicated to the study of paranormal sciences. This is the only museum of its kind in Washington State. If you have any interest in Big Foot, UFOs, crop circles, ghosts, or just enjoy legends, lore, and tall tales, then this museum

The Mississippi Sheiks Tribute Concert Comes To DVD Sept. 21
One of the highlights of my trip to the Blues Music Awards in May was the performance by a group of fine blues musicians who created the BMA-nominated album Things About Comin' My Way – A Tribute To The Music Of The Mississippi Sheiks.  I'm still waiting for the Blues Foundation to release ...
Music Review: Various Artists - Now That’s What I Call Music! 35
While it may seems as if they come out every month, this is only the third hits collects for the Now That’s What I Call Music! series in 2010 (they had other genres released, but no other Top 40 collections). Starting the year off with the very well rounded Vol’s 33 and 34, it is safe to ...
Music DVD Review: Slayer - War at the Warfield
Slayer has been at this game for a long time. When they take the stage, they know what they need to do. The fans in the pit know what to expect. You, reading this right now, know what to expect. This is, after all, a Slayer concert DVD and if you are a fan of Slayer you have to be prepared.
Music Review: Nick Thurmond - Not Alone
Sometimes, small local bands can surpass mainstream ones by leaps and bounds. This is definitely the case with Nick Thurmond, a praise and worship leader from Norman, Oklahoma. His 2008 album Not Alone is 11 tracks of creative lyrics, excellent music, and superb vocals. Thurmond is a slightly more organic ...
Eddie Cochran: 1938-1960
I was trolling through my music collection recently and decided to give some Eddie Cochran records a spin. It dawned on me that 2010 represented the fiftieth anniversary of his death at the age of 21.
Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival Coming to Atlanta
Hot on the heels of my coverage of Mayhem Festival 2010, and I do mean hot, I received my email confirmation to cover Uproar Festival. I probably wouldn't have even considered another journey out into the heat for most tours, but there are two things that Uproar Fest has going for it. One is that it's ...
Music Review: The Cure - Disintegration
What does a twenty two year old have to say about an album that should be "before his time?"
Music Review: Kem - Intimacy
Appropriately titled Intimacy, R&B singer Kem's third album has a looser feel, as if eavesdropping on a jam session at a small club. This welcome approach allows Kem to further explore his jazz side and emphasize his deeply emotional lyrics. Kem first burst onto the music scene in 2002, with the ...
Music Review: Indie Round-Up – Flipron, John Lee Hooker Jr., Whole Sky Monitor
Flipron, With Breath Bated & Eyelids Unblinking: A Flipron Sampler Flipron makes its US debut this fall with a brief tour and a 12-track sampler disc that backs up the hype that this is very likely the UK's most inventive band. Sharp-witted, antic, and addled, their songs are more than pop curiosities; ...
Music Review: Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Legacy Edition (2 CD/1 DVD)
So where do you start with a recording that created a genre? Bitches Brew and its legendary and iconic status has not waned one iota since the celebrated release of the set in 1970. Miles Davis changed jazz forever more than once from the 50s all the way up to this marvelous concoction of jazz-rock ...
Music Review: Pegi Young - Foul Deeds (Limited Edition CD/DVD)
Pegi Young is somewhat known as Neil Young's occasional backup singer and as co-founder of the Bridge School for children with speech and other learning disabilities. Mainly though, she is known as Mrs. Neil Young. As the spouse of a rock legend, the temptation to immediately dismiss Mrs. Neil Young ...
Music DVD Review: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Pictures At An Exhibition (Special Edition)
Written by General Jabbo
The Third Annual "Punks for a Princess" Benefit
In southern New England this Labor Day weekend, tons of bands will be rocking for a great cause, the third annual “Punks for a Princess” benefit. It has been held every September since 2008 in memory of 7-year-old Kaitlyn Ferra, who tragically passed away on August 7, 2008 after a flash ...
Concert Review: David Gray & Ray Lamontagne in Council Bluffs, IA [8/29]
A co-headlining concert such as this one deserves a co-headlining article, if I do say so myself. A show with such premier performers and of such epic proportions doesn’t need much of an introduction; let’s just say— Ray & Gray killed it.
When Performing Turns Dangerous
With the recent blow-up over Guns N’ Roses at the Reading Festival in the UK, a pattern has definitely emerged. This now marks the third recent incident where an audience has had a severe issue (in some way shape or form) with a performer.
Music Review: Xavier Rudd & Izintaba - Koonyum Sun
You can tell a lot about a person's artistic quality by the way in which they respond to a personal crisis or any period of radical change with their chosen medium. Do they descend into self-indulgence and wallow in their own misery by creating stuff that excludes their audience through focusing on ...
Could Eden Brent Have A "Norah Jones" Moment?
My wife and I were living in our first apartment in Athens when late one night I was watching TV alone and Norah Jones' video for "Don't Know Why" came on.  I didn't know who Jones was.  I didn't know what that music was but I couldn't shake free of it.  It reached into my chest with ...
Music Review: John Coltrane - The Definitive John Coltrane On Prestige and Riverside
The Concord Music Group has done an impressive job of summarizing the early career of John Coltrane with The Definitive John Coltrane On Prestige and Riverside. Twenty-one tunes, dating from 1955 to 1958, fill up two discs. As an introduction to the genius of the jazz saxophone legend, this release ...
I Hear Sparks: Elisabeth Lohninger - Songs of Love and Destruction
Love and destruction frequently merge, tearing us apart from the inside before we’ve even noticed. That sentiment is a big part of what makes Elisabeth Lohninger’s gorgeous Songs of Love and Destruction such a profound piece of work. The record is deeply emotional, deeply significant and ...
Music Review: Miss TK & The Revenge - The Ocean Likes to Party Too
Slinky and ridiculously sexy, Miss TK & The Revenge pull a sweaty beach party out of the bag with The Ocean Likes to Party Too. The record is a blisteringly cool set of dance pop tracks blended with a little of the punk, don’t-give-a-fuck flavour. With just the perfect amount of raunch and ...
iTunes Chart Watch: Katy Perry Outsells Iron Maiden, Water Still Wet
So I was mocked and ridiculed in the comments of last week's iTCW by the legion of Iron Maiden fans who think I'm some sort of moron for not knowing that Maiden A) rulz! and B) is an undisputed sales champion.  Excuse the shit out of me for thinking it might have been the vapid Katy Perry or the ...
Music Review: Jerry Lee Lewis - Killer Country
Jerry Lee Lewis is best remembered as the frenetic rocker who recorded for the Sun label during the latter half of the 1950s. Hits such as “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On,” “Breathless” and “Great Balls Of Fire” not only climbed to the upper reaches of The American ...
DVD Review: Mogwai - Burning
Mogwai is a band I know very little about. Blasphemy, right? I really don't, but I want to find out more. Honestly, I do. I guess it is a little strange to be starting with their first ever concert video, I understand that. However, if you stop and think about it, what better way is there to getting ...
Music Review: James Blackshaw - All Is Falling
The young 12-string guitar master James Blackshaw is back, and his latest album, All Is Falling, exhibits another tremendous leap forward for him. For starters, he uses an electric 12-string for the first time on record, rather than his traditional acoustic. He has also brought in a host of other instruments ...
Music Review: George Harrison - Live In Japan
After the negative experiences of his 1974 Dark Horse tour, George Harrison did not go on the road for over 15 years. It took a call from old friend Eric Clapton to entice him to perform live again. He and Clapton would share the stage for a series of successful performances during December of 1991 ...
DVD Review: Slayer - Live Intrusion
In the early days of my growing love for music, I was drawn to more popular acts, bands that were safe, fun, catchy, and could be heard a lot on regular radio stations. Like old people, when I heard more extreme styles, I immediately identified them as noise and wrote them off. Well, blame it on being ...


should be right up your alley. Even if these things aren't vitally important in your day-to-day existence, it is still really interesting to see the artifacts that have been collected and to hear the stories that are being told. Coming back to the world of the living, one of my favorite places in Seattle is a little bit crowded with tourists; however, it is well worth dealing with a few more people if you ask me. That place would be Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame. I'm not sure if my fascination with this place stems from my love of science fiction movies and literature or simply from the contribution that science fiction has made on society in the last few decades. Perhaps it is a slight combination of the two. Or maybe it is just the coolness factor alone. For whatever reason, this museum is a favorite of mine and I hope that you will feel the same way about it after you visit. If you are visiting the Science Fiction Museum, you might seriously consider purchasing a combination ticket for the Experience Music Project. Separately the project is a tad expensive but when you purchase a combo ticket for both you save enough money to take the sting out of the visit. If you are a music lover, particularly rock and roll, then this experience is one well worth having. The price is somewhat prohibitive if you are visiting on a budget but if you plan carefully you can manage savings in other areas that will make up for the cost. There are so many fascinating things to do, see, and experience in Seattle and the surrounding areas. I hope that I have introduced you to a few things that are a little off the beaten path and yet offer something of interest to you at the same time. The most important thing to remember when visiting Seattle, Washington is that vacations are fun and that is what you should have-lots of fun.
