The SunBreak’s Comic Book & Pop Culture Convention Correspondent, Bosco, spent the weekend traipsing the confines of the Convention Center, where the Emerald City Comicon 2013 was being held. Herewith, his photographic essay on this unique intersection of nerd-dom, DIY costuming, and mostly good-humored celebrities trucked in for the occasion.

If you have an indie-music-playing device, you’re most likely familiar with Noah and the Whale’s “5 Years Time,” and, more recently, off the new album Last Night on Earth, the single “L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.” Does Fink’s deadpan baritone remind you a little of Beat Happening’s more basso Calvin Johnson? How about The Nails? The lyrics tend to have a touch of Lou Reed and Tom Waits. As it turns out, Fink will back me up on those influences, and list a few more.

You never know quite what you’re going to get when you start perusing our Flickr pool. With over 5,600 photos from some of Seattle’s most talented Flickr-ites, it’s usually something good. This time, we drop the word “penguin” into the mix and see what develops. Sure, a trip to the zoo, but also a few other encounters you may not have been expecting. That’s Jeff Blucher’s hungry little guy in the thumbnail. Continue reading Glimpses: 5 Ways of Looking at a Penguin

How lively and primed—though yes, aged—original members Matt Cameron, Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, and Ben Shepherd looked from this close. And their sound? Ditto.
The band was as solid and on as it is on Live on I-5, this spring’s primer from its 1996 tour. Actually, the 2011 Soundgarden was better, tighter, as if the lengthy break only made the guys hungry for another stage.

The Sondre Lerche show began a little early on Saturday night, when Nightlands invited a hoodied Lerche out to the Crocodile stage to help with an uptempo cover of Lindsey Buckingham’s “Trouble.” At 28, he’s written his first adult album, to hear him tell it. He played seven (out of the ten) tracks on his the self-titled album, along with Lerche standards such as “Airport Taxi Reception,” “Two Way Monologue,” and “Phantom Punch.” Continue reading Sondre Lerche Rocks the Croc [Slideshow]
