And the VS. ep's Internet date may be pushed back until Tuesday but Bellingham you can snag a physical copy Friday night and dance the night away with Mad Rad and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis at The Wild Buffalo. 9pm $5. For everyone else... I assure you its worth the wait.

While Friday's Digable Planets show at the Nectar has been cancelled you can still hit up the Holiday Bizarre: An Urban Art Show of Epic Proportions at the Greenwood Collective from 6-9pm and wrap up your holiday shopping while supporting local art and then pat yourself on the back and call it an early night with some cocoa and the kitty.

And don't forget you can catch Sonicsgate during its week long run at the SIFF Cinema from the 11th to the 17th. Free Sonicsgate dvd with every ticket purchase. Not in Seattle? You can stream the whole thing online at Sonicsgate.org.

Twin Cities!

Friday in one of my favorite venues, the Nomad, some of my Black Clover favorites, the brothers Soulcrate (+Absolute!) with Prof & Rahzwell, Kipp G and Big Zach. 9pm 18+ Bring back stories.

OR you could visit the Turf club for Bird+Wolf+Wolf. I'm very glad I'm not in town having to decide between these two shows... Yikes!

Saturday! All you need to know is right here:

And if like myself you're not lucky enough to be in the Twin Cities for the release show this weekend you can join me in purchasing the fancy package in the SFR store. THERE IS A STICKER! Payday fairy hurry plz.

On The Move

On The Move is on steroids this week. I'll make this quick, I have a flight to catch bright and early. See you in a few hours Twin Cities!

Seattle
Strangercrombie is here! Consumption and charitable giving at its finest. (and further proof that Mad Rad is everryyywhere.) God bless us Seattle, God bless us everyone!

Speaking of giving... Thursday night head to the Croc (get comfy you'll be here all weekend) and kick things off with the GIVE benefit concert presented by Caffe Vita featuring D. Black, Grand Archives, Grant Olsen, Kinski and Gabriel Mintz. Non locals can still purchase the GIVE compilation for just $7 (all proceeds going to Art Corps and local food banks) close your eyes, listen and pretend you're there.

Friday. I have two words: Go! Machine. I'm listening to Swervewon's Go! Machine mix as I type this, how can you not be amped up for this? And if that's not enough to convince you how about:
Champagne Champagne, Fresh Espresso, Spaceman, Grynch, The Physics, Thee Satisfaction and DJ Darwin all brought to you by the Crocodile and Out For Stardom. $30 in advance gets you in tonight and Saturday plus a t-shirt. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint people.

Saturday, do you really have to ask? Go! Machine part two with Mad Rad, They Live!, VS (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis), Fatal Lucciauno, Helladope, Katie Kate and DJ Swervewon. Crocodile, 8pm 21+. If there were ever a weekend I wish I could be in multiple places at once this is it. I'll be missing you Seattle.

If you have any get up and go left on Sunday you can catch Del the Funky Homosapien, Bukue One, Yirim Seck and Life Cycle at Neumos. Ooor Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Ripynt at my least favorite venue ever El Corazón.

San Diego
Join the other brother (we love you Ron!) we'd always wished we had, Derek, for Grayskul Friday at Access Music 6pm. And if you still haven't picked up last year's Gigantics album... get on that! More Grayskul dates have been announced for the month, peep and see if they're coming to your neck of the woods. We miss you Panda!
