From Northwest Music Blog:

Break Mode Recordings is a collective of DJs and MCs that formed in Olympia, Washington last year, throwing house parties and shows around the North West area.

I love things like this. A band/collective/musician contacts us with some outstanding material, and we’ve never heard of them. Good work, Olympians.

Here's a sample:

As per the Olympian's editorial (9 July):

"Members of the public can gnaw on Olympia's proposed noise ordinance amendment and offer additional comment at a forum scheduled for 2 to 3:30 p.m. Aug. 6 at The Washington Center for the Performing Arts, 512 Washington St. S.E. It's scheduled during the afternoon because city officials want the forum to be available to bar employees, who work nights."

Tonight Lily Tomlin comes to Olympia! When my daughter heard this, she wanted to know: "why? Is her career hurting? She used to be really good!" I defended Oly, but it started me thinking.

Wouldn't it be GREAT if we could organize a regular series of events that would appeal to "women of a certain age..." To my mind that's over 25. There's alot going on for those under.

I'm tired of driving to Portland, Tacoma or Seattle for good, political, indie, spoken word, music, what have you... I know these things come and go with local interest over the years... so what about it? Do we have any others out there?
