[...] just wanted to trump the other lame “blogger” who did the first round of recommended December shows (I kid, I kid). Keep an eye or an onion peeled for these bands [...]

Nice wrap-up/preview, Kev. Just a few oversights, though:
My additional upcoming and recommended shows:
Goon Moon with Twiggy Ramirez (NIN, Marilyn Manson, QOTSA, and A Perfect Circle) and Chris Goss (Desert Sessions) are playing next Thursday at the Chop Suey. Check out their myspace page for a preview.
In a related vein, Queens of the Stone Age will be rocking out with their cocks out Tuesday the 18th of December. Unknown to many, that band has roots here in the PNW. (Their first album was released on Loose Groove, Mark Lanegan has been a member for years, and Matt Cameron gigged with them in the early days.)

And last but not least, you missed mentioning VAN FUCKING HALEN playing the Key on Monday the 3rd. If I wasn’t out of town, ho boy oh boy, I’d be there.

One other note about that Thermals show on the 1st: not only are the headliner first-fucking-rate, but the entire bill is pretty rock solid. The show begins with local upstarts the Coconut Coolouts, and continues with indie-folkers Arthur & Yu (also from the Emerald City). Sweet licks all around.

And that Yule Benefit show looks like another Yule winner.
Yeasayer. Good. http://www.nwmusicblog.com/2007/10/26/nwmb-singles-of-the-week™-yeasayer-cribs/

Oh: Cribs at Neumos TOMORROW the 27th. Holy Fuck they’d be good to see. I’m salivating.

I’ve been *calling in* suggestions to Joe back there in Seattle to go to Les Savy Fav on the 30th. They are outstanding songwriters, and, from what I’ve read, pretty damn good live too. Three thumbs up on this one, kids.

Pick up “Inches” if you need something to listen to before you go.
