Concert Reviews: Why you should live in Seattle

Lydia Sprague

Staff Writer

It's on nights like these that the scene kids come crawling out of Seattle's finest suburbs in massive sized packs. Wearing the identical tight black T-shirts, skintight jeans, skater shoes and the exact same studded belt. The kids, none looking old enough to be out of high school yet, line up outside of Seattle's El Corazon. The venue that has been hosting many of the city's worst shows ever since it sold out and changed its name from Graceland. Read More

Dan Gayle

Design Director

They see you. You with your little white headphones stuck in your ears. Don't think that your teachers don't notice that you're drowning them out with your iPod. Inside, they're laughing at you. "Ha Ha Ha, you fool! You have bitten into the forbidden fruit of DRM and now you will be stuck listening to your music on that device forever!" Wait a sec, DRM? What are you talking about? They're not upset because I'm wasting their time and my money? What about my brain cells? Why are they laughing at me because of DRM? What is DRM? Read More
