I haven’t been to a concert since January. As much as I hate holding my phone / camera during these events, right now I’m truly grateful that I did. • @nadasurf_official at @showbox celebrating #barsuk15 - 11.07.13 • • #seattle #savetheshowbox #nadasurf #barsuk15 #barsuk #showbox #showboxmarket #matthewcaws #barsukrecords #wheniwasyoung #thestarsareindifferenttoastronomy #livemusic #concert (at Showbox Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAjgvz7g-3N/?igshid=1b981j5fryebx

Menomena at Barsuk's 15th Anniversary
#30 The Long Winters, David Bazan, etc
Barsuk 15th Anniversary, Night Two
HOW EXCITED WAS I FOR THIS SHOW?! Beyond.
The Neptune Theatre (still consistently my favorite venue, if you're keeping score) was a magical time machine to the early 2000's. I arrived early, swigged a quick cocktail, and made my way to front and center where I put in my time for the night. Worth it.
Bands:
Sunset Valley- Really great time machine material, these guys sounded fantastic and totally took me back to delicious Seattle garage rock circa the dawn of the 21st century. Fun fun. And John Roderick milling about in the crowd didn't hurt (fangirl alert). They closed with a song called "Jackass Crusher" and won my heart forever.
Minor Alps- This one was a bit of torture. I was soooo bored. It was the guy from Nada Surf and, oh geez, some girl who I'm too disinterested to look up who she was. She's someone. Acoustic guitars and predictable harmonies. I just wanted this part to end.
David Bazan and the Passenger String Quartet- Now we're talking! Oh Pedro the Lion! So sad, who hurt you?! Dave is a delightful human and so funny when he chats between songs. But oh the songs! I love this melancholy shit, and with a hipster string section? BLISS.
The Long Winters- THE GODDAMN LONG WINTERS PLAYING WHEN I PRETEND TO FALL FROM START TO FINISH OH MY GOD YES. Glorious. Hilarious. The John Roderick - Sean Nelson Comedy Hour interspersed with some of my favorite songs of all times. Does life get better? DOES IT?
Two shows down and I'm beat you guys. Tonite's show is at Neumos so I'm gonna need all the earplugs. If I survive (big if) I will be rewarded with Sunday's show at the lovely Tractor. Last night's show with the Long Winters was so so so worth it. Bliss.
I'm about to go see The Long Winters and Pedro the Lion. What year is it?!

Twice you burned your life's work: Once to start a new life, And once just to start a fire.

Happy birthday, Barsuk Records!
Of all the records (digital, CD and vinyl) in my collection, a heckuva lot of them are from just one indie label: Barsuk Records.
Just as I've come to trust a handful of friends for good music recommendations, I've come to trust that I'm going to like almost everything that Barsuk releases. Their records were always the most fun to work on while I was at Paste, helped by the wonderful people working behind the label.
This week marks the 15th anniversary of the Seattle indie, so I put together a playlist of my 10 favorite Barsuk tunes.
Thanks for all the good music, guys, and cheers on your anniversary.
1. "Cinnamon" - The Long Winters 2. "Portions for Foxes" - Rilo Kiley 3. "Don't Move" - Phantogram 4. "Exodus Damage" - John Vanderslice 5. "Hellodrama" - What Made Milwaukee Famous 6. "For the Actor" - Mates of State 7. "White Daisy Passing" - Rocky Votolato 8. "Boy" - Ra Ra Riot 9. "Five Star Day" - Aqueduct 10. "Transatlanticism" - Death Cab for Cutie
