		<title>Great Scott!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What better way to break a months-long unintentional blogging hiatus than a few quick, spoiler-free thoughts on the film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim? So for starters, as we&#8217;ve been repeatedly warned, it is different from the books. Significantly different? Maybe in some ways. The plot is pretty condensed, eliminating a lot of side stories and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arrivals &amp; Departures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I know, I never update this site&#8230;.and yes, I know I keep promising to. Well, I may soon. No promises. Until then, heres what&#8217;s been keeping me so busy: my debut full length as Miniature Airlines. Go download it! It&#8217;s free, and it&#8217;s good (at least I hope it is).]]></description>

		<title>Last Minute</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why yes, I have been a shitty blogger lately, thank you for noticing! I&#8217;ve let this hypertext field lie fallow for months now, and for that I apologize. I will do my best to make amends, and coax this tender earth to bring forth new shoots of content for the nourishment and enjoyment of all. But [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decimated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I&#8217;ve moved to Seattle, there&#8217;s one event that is invariably one of the highlights of my year, and that&#8217;s Decibel Festival. The 4-day electronic music and media festival brings artists and fans from around the world to the city of Seattle, for a weekend filled with music that pushes boundaries, rewires brains, and shakes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loopy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been watching a little bit of the first season of The West Wingon DVD recently, and while it&#8217;s an enjoyable show, there&#8217;s something about the idealism of it all that prevents me from really loving it. The show is witty, fast-paced, and compelling, but it&#8217;s run through with a streak of sunny moderate optimism [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jega @ Oscillate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[IDM doesn&#8217;t have the clout it used to. Once a nexus a of innovation, it seems to have been eclipsed by newer styles in the hearts of many electronic music enthusiasts. The revival of disco-derived styles and their crossover into indie/pop consciousness, and the spread of UK bass music (dubstep, etc.) have left little room for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Posting here just because I&#8217;ve been meaning to mention it: &#8220;Two Weeks&#8221;, from Grizzly Bear&#8217;s new album, Veckatimest (Warp Records 2009), which has been ruling my ears for at least two weeks so far. The video is intriguing and mildly creepy, but the song itself is a glorious, lush post-Pet Sounds gem. For some reason, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Playtime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, that was a perfectly timed epic weekend. Perfectly timed as it coincided nicely with the 6 month anniversary of me and the Girl. On Friday night, I came home to find a champagne bottle and sushi waiting, followed by a ridiculously decadent dessert. Can&#8217;t complain about that. Then we hit up several of the 80+ [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Field @ Nectar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of seemingly negative words you could use to describe The Field&#8217;s music; droning, repetitive, simplistic. There&#8217;s one word you can&#8217;t use: boring. The Field is music stripped down to basic elements, then blown out, expanded, overexposed and pushed to extremes. Minimalism without restraint. You can describe a typical Field song as such: [...]]]></description>

Emerald City Supporters Seattle has definitely welcomed it&#8217;s newest sporting institution, the Seattle Sounders MLS team, with open arms and sold-out games, but no one has welcomed them with more cheering, singing, drinking, and tifo-making than the ECS.
