Happy Sunday!

I just moved to Seattle from Bloomington, IN. In Indiana it is illegal to purchase alcohol on Sunday. In Washington it is not. Sundays are fun again!

Badass Agalloch Poster

I went to Bumbershoot yesterday and had an awesome time. Highlights were Thee Oh Sees, Doug Loves Movies, and The Kills. I also came away with this badass Agalloch West Coast tour poster (despite the lack of metal bands playing that day) -
Badass Agalloch Poster

The artist’s name is David V. D’Andrea and he is based in Portland. Here is his site. I was immediately drawn to his style, and I realized I had actually bought a shirt from him a few years ago at the Pitchfork festival. He has done posters for plenty of fantastic bands including Black Mountain, Graveyard, Grails, and Wovenhand. If I had more money I would buy all of these.

Also, if you haven’t listened to Agalloch’s Marrow of the Spirit, which was Decibel Magazine’s #1 metal album of 2010, you should probably do that now
