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!

Last week was my birthday, and I celebrated by going vinyl-crazy. Most of these I bought myself but my lovely girlfriend purchased me the Deer Tick album. Descriptions after the jump.
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) -

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
