Vanishing Seattle is at The Crocodile.

Nov 16, 2020

After nearly 30 yrs, the iconic The Crocodile on 2nd & Blanchard in #Belltown is closing & moving.... Luckily #TheCrocodile will be staying in the same neighborhood: moving to the building on 1st Ave that until recently housed El Gaucho steakhouse, Pampas Room & Big Picture theatre – which is fitting, as it used to be the hall of Sailors Union of the Pacific (1954-1996), where @thePosies, Bikini Kill, Radiohead, @maryloulord & more played.... Part of a culture-rich block anchored by the landmarked Wayne Apartments yet slated for luxury #redevelopment that’s already displaced Mama’s Mexican Kitchen, Shorty’s, Rocco’s & Tula’s. Also home to Lava Lounge, Neon Boots, Funky Studios, Rabbit Hole & Mr. Darcy.

In The Rock 4/27/1993: The Posies release their defining album, ‘Frosting On The Beater’. It’s a perfect blend of power pop and more muscular grunge. Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow nailed it. #ThePosies #rockhonorroll

Luxury Mane - Gold Standard⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ @luxurymaneband #luxurymane #luxurymaneband #theposies #alternative #psych #powerpop #newwave⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ It's bittersweet that this is the 4th and final album from Florida band Luxury Mane that I'll be covering here (until, of course, they put out a new record!). I first connected with them last year when they sent me their discography minus the first album and I ended up liking it so much that I bought a copy of the first one too, just to make sure I had the whole run. This band is a beautiful project from some dudes in Florida that love the Posies as much as they love themselves, and they definitely have a hilarious (and earned!) sense of self-esteem...poke around on their Facebook page to see what I mean. They're super talented, they're funny, and they seem to be about something bigger, nay funner (!), than just being a pop band. It's one part psych, two parts power pop, a half dash of Modern English, and one big garnish of their idols, The Posies. ⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Perhaps my favorite part of this band isn't just the music itself but the earnest and sincere people behind it. It's easy for me to get jaded by the big names that sometimes grace this page but so often the hardworking bands you've never heard of are the most down-to-earth and focused on their art. Not too awfully long ago, the "devastatingly handsome" Billly Summer thanked me for the coverage and for taking time to listen to what they were all about. I said it then and I'll say it now in front of a jury of their peers, It's absolutely my pleasure. Thank YOU for making music that evokes simpler, happier, and more enjoyable times in my life, Luxury Mane. Thanks for the new memories. :)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ #vinylrecords #vinylcollectionpost #records #nowplaying #vinyls #recordcollector #vinyladdict #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinyligclub #vinyllovers #vinylclub #vinylrecords #music #picoftheday #vinylcollectionpost #vinylcollective #vinylexams #vinyl #vinylporn #vinylcollector⁠ (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JaHUcpej5/?igshid=1v252ncp6hwg5

#basketballdiaries #originalmotionpicturesoundtrack #jimcarroll #pearljam #pjharvey #soundgarden #thedoors #greenapplequickstep #theposies #massiveinternalcomplications #rockershifi #thejimcarrollband #graemerevell #flea #thecult a brilliant soundtrack of an equally brilliant movie! The song #catholicboy featuring Jim Carroll with Pearl Jam is worth the price of admission It does feature #peoplewhodied as this film feats Jim Carroll’s drug infused teenage lifestyle as what the movie is all about. What a great job from Karyn Rachtman Liz Heller & Scott Kalvert for this wonderful record Enjoy (at Hollywood Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbJXevUFdIx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Vanishing Seattle

April 13, 2017

#TBT: Sit & Spin! Ah, where to begin on this greatly-missed, legendary ‘90s #Belltown joint on 4th Ave…It was a laundromat/music club/art gallery/bar/café/diner – where folks could wash their dirty draws, see a punk show, play arcade and board games, and eat a big ass slice of $2 pizza - often all at once. The Sit & Spin embodied the spirit of so many old “only in Seattle” establishments, and was a favorite hangout for neighborhood locals, musicians, artists, students, street folks, whoever. So many great bands played small shows here, like #Mudhoney, #TheWhiteStripes, #ThePosies, #ModestMouse - to name a few. I had one of my worst dates of all time here (involving extreme inebriation/drug use and very unsportsmanlike behavior over a game of Space Invaders), but I still get hearts in my eyes when I think of this place. The Sit & Spin closed sometime around 2003

Part 2: It was more than any die-hard #ThePosies fan could haves dreamed and hoped for. It will be hard to sleep tonight. FYI - vinyl reissues of their early albums, including Dear You, Frosting on the Beater, and Amazing Disgrace are coming out this year on @omnivorerecordings and will include bonus tracks and other goodies. ❤️❤️ @theposies (at Bootleg Theater)

A TON of great stuff has come out in the last few weeks (and some ol' standbys never hurt). We all know the new @queensofthestoneage is gold, but DO NOT sleep on @granderoyaleofficial! Holy cow, I can't stop listening to it. #granderoyale#qotsa #deadlord #theeohsess #adoredelano #alexchilton #theposies #thesoftboys #bobmould

Last night in London, 'Thirteen' by @bigstarband performed by @jonauer of @theposies Hugely underrated music and artists, I urge you all to check out their catalogues, I've been a fan since '94, incredibly powerful songs, melody and lyrics, classic in every sense. Oui! #jonauer #theposies #bigstar #thirteen #flavourofthemonth #dreamallday #sundown #youusedtodrivemearound #greeneys #seattle #geffenrecords #subpoprecords (at thousand island)
