The Head & The Heart for Austin City Limits Performance Airing This Weekend

Not too long ago, I discovered on late night weekends that PBS would air performances from Austin City Limits. Sometimes they were dated back to the 80’s, but some were as recent as 2011! This Saturday, PBS will be airing a very special performance from one of my favorite bands here in Seattle – The Head & The Heart. You can catch it on PBS at 11PM EST/PST.

If you miss it, you can catch the special in its entirety here beginning Sunday, January 8th.

For now, catch a sneak preview of “Down in the Valley” below:

First Listen: The Head & The Heart

When have I ever been able to stay away?

This was too good to pass up and way too good to wait until tomorrow…

This should wake you up on this gray Wednesday morning in Seattle.

In Seattle News…

There was so much Seattle news swirling around yesterday that I decided to just make a separate post for it away from the rest of the pop culture news going on in the world.

– During Bumbershoot weekend, Kevin informed me of a new car service named Uber that had just been brought to Seattle that I could use in place of taking a taxi or the bus. So how does it work exactly? Uber is an on-demand car service that will pick you up from wherever you are and take you anywhere you need to go in a sleek black car. Known as “everyone’s private driver,” Uber is a service that is all about convenience and style. If you’re a member of the service, then your payment is just charged to your credit card so no more fumbling at your dolla dolla bills! This service is great for a night out, but is also the safer bet in place of a taxi or bus – – as suggested by Kevin.

“In Seattle, pricing currently starts with a $7 base, plus $3.75/mile distance and $0.75/mile time fees with a $12 minimum and $50 set rate for Sea-Tac.

PBS is making a documentary that will highlight Seattle’s thriving music scene. The program titled “Seattle Music…something in the water” isn’t all that clever, but will feature some of your favorite local bands including The Head & the Heart, Shabazz Palaces, Pickwick, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and a few others. The show will air on October 21st.  [Source]

– Storefront installations will be returning to Broadway this fall/winter! The last time this happened was back when I was a freshman and back then I don’t think I was able to fully appreciate it. Storefronts Seattle will take over vacant store fronts on Capitol Hill stretching from Pine Street to Roy and will be decorating them with creative and visually pleasing installations. [Source]

– Food trucks are rolling up with a sweet surprise! Street Wheels, a new hot pink truck parked on 2nd and Pine, will be dishing out their treats every day from noon-6. Their menu features a number of ice cream sandwiches, chocolate dipped ice cream bars, and a handful of your favorite classic desserts. [Source]

– After one man stiffed a bartender last week at one of my favorite bars in Capitol Hill and then criticized her weight on the receipt, the locals went nuts. Something you should learn of the day: If you’re  going to stiff a bartender, don’t pay with a credit card. Capitol Hill locals harassed the guy via his Facebook to let him know that he is just not welcome back to our neighborhood ever again. This story got around so quick, I even found out on The Frisky shortly after the incident. Read more about what happened here and here.

Song of the Day

The Head & The Heart – Cats & Dogs

I can’t remember if I’ve featured this song before and I am way too lazy to check, but regardless – this is a great song! The Head & The Heart is a local band that I’ve been a fan of for some time and naturally since they are from here – I am a little biased with them and adore them so. They just released this video yesterday and it’s pretty stinkin’ cute.
