Concrete - You Ain't Kidding

Great photo of concrete building in Concrete Washington from 1bluecanoe on Flickr.
Though those clouds don't look too welcoming.

Fremont Troll - Seattle

Maktub - Just Like Murder

In my opinion the most talented band to grace the Seattle scene in my 11 years as a resident.  Those are fighting words for some and certainly some days my feelings lean elsewhere but when i think of the hours I spent grooving to Reggie crooning, and the heights their tunes could propel my brainwaves towards there is no question that I miss them.  Of course Reggie is in New York these days making a name for himself as one of the most innovative comedians/performers and while we wish he were back in the Emerald City our love will follow him always.  

Bill Russell - Happy Birthday Big Man

With the possible exception of Dave Matthews, Bill Russell is most likely the celebrity I see the most around Seattle, Washington should be proud that the greatest basketball big man of all time chose to settle in Mercer Island after retirement.  Though I could hardly call the man retired as he seems to pop up everywhere both here and afar.  Perhaps he simply stands out because he towers over everyone in any room he is in?  Regardless I've found myself a wee bit starstruck the 5-6 times I have seen him around, hey he is a legend. Happy Birthday Bill.
