Popular design blog, Miss Jane, is hosting a photo giveaway in honor of the recent opening of my very own Etsy shop! Head over to her blog for more details and help spread the word!

 

Grieves | Ate your soul

Discovered Grieves on recommendation from a co-worker. I’d heard his name a handful of times but never took the time to investigate. Chicago born, relocated to Seattle where he hooked up with now producer, Budo, and the rest is history?

Listened to his most recent album, The Confessions of Mr. Modest, start to finish and was pretty into it.

My favorite? Ate Your Soul:

Enjoy!

Grynch | My Volvo

It doesn’t get much more Northwest than this, my friends.

206 rapper, Grynch, rappin about his Volvo.

Hell yeah.

Tank on empty / whippin my momma volvo

Love the Macklemore cameo.

Macklemore | And We Danced

Great shot taken by a friend at the Seattle hip hop showcase at  South by Southwest. See? I was not joking about being front and center. Macklemore put on quite a show- short as the set was- it was a full on mid-afternoon dance party. With free beer, how could it not be?

The real crowd-pleaser was ‘And We Danced,’ with the shag wig and everything… Something you have to experience in person to fully appreciate.

Anyway- give it a listen:

Sasquatch | Line-up confirmed, Sold-Out

Whoa. As a Seattle native, very familiar with Sasquatch Festival, I can say with confidence that they are really stepping things up this year. One, the line-up is insane and Two, it’s already sold-out ?! That is crazy talk.

The Line-up, with those I’d chop my arm off to see- in bold:

Macklemore | Stay at Home Dad

Macklemore is a man of his word. Today he released, as promised, a new song that didn’t quite make the cut for his VS. EP.

It is pretty hilarious and definitely worth a listen:

Macklemore- Stay at Home Dad

Macklemore x Ryan Lewis: The VS. EP

Macklemore‘s EP finally hit the internet today. Click the image to get yours, free. Hailing from the 206, he released an album back in 2005 and a mixtape earlier this year. I’d say he’s got a pretty decent following up north- and  although I may have a little bit of that Seattle bias,  I really think this guy is about to do some big things. Macklemore in 2010. Look out.
