UPDATE. Jason Webley put on a fun, crowd-participation-filled performance. His music's a little boring, but the guy sure can engage a crowd. He probably won't become famous, but it was an entertaining way to spend an hour.

Hey Chris - great summary of the day, it made me feel like I was there! http://www.nadamucho.com/live/music/bumbershoot_report_-_monday_september_1st.html

Day 3: Monday, September 1
The last day of Bumbershoot - a pleasantly breezy day drifting from sunny to overcast. The crowds, while heavy in places, are sparse compared to earlier days, and everyone here has the mellow, slightly bleary good cheer that comes at the end of a long, debauched weekend. Photographer Jolie Bergman and I grab our credentials and head in.
Mark Pickerel and His Praying Hands
When original Screaming Trees drummer Mark Pickerel isn't jetting off to London or Spain to play drums for Truly, he's here in Seattle helming his local alt-country supergroup the Praying Hands, with occasional help from Steve Fisk, Heather Duby and the Sangster brothers. Today, we come upon Mark. . .

Basically inspired by Matt Ashworth's previous post, I'm curious as to what "hip young people" are listening to these days. It's also one of my favorite questions upon meeting someone for the first time, it can tell you a lot about them. . .
My top three right now:
1. Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky": Jeff Tweedy gets rid of artsy noise guy Jim O'Rourke and creates a beautiful, layed-back masterpiece. Makes me want to crack a beer and lay out in the sun. In serious contention for album of the year. . .
2. Thurston's "Trees Outside the Academy": Although I disagree with him only using his first name (who does he think he is Cher?) Sonic Youth's main man releases a quiet, surprisingly pretty record. Featuring mostly acoustic guitar in regular tuning, violin, and soft vocals, this is Thurston stripped down to his most innocent, introspective self.
3. Pinback's "Autumn of the Seraphs": Picking right up where they left off with 2004's "Summer in Abbadon," "Seraphs" finds Pinback in familiar indie-pop territory. Programmed drums, tasty vocal harmonization, and enough giant hooks to land a monster fish. Consider this the "feel-good-summertime-head-bobbing" soundtrack.

This year more than ever, Bumbershoot resembled Disneyland with clusterfucks of people everywhere. At times, it became difficult to move at all, and being claustrophobic, on a couple of occasions I began to get
