Music Video of the Day

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PLifPUIuic&feature=youtu.be]

Readers!

I am currently right in the middle of the biggest move of my life so I hope you’ll be patient with me as there won’t be very many posts for the next couple of weeks. Regardless, you don’t have to worry about Yow Yow! going anywhere, we just might not be “on top” of the news as we are used to. Today Macklemore & Ryan Lewis released their latest music video for their single “White Walls” and we’re huge fans because

a) it features Hollis Wong-Wear and we pretty much love her here at Yow Yow!

b) it was filmed in Capitol Hill – granted people were at this shoot for hours and less than a minute of it was featured, but it’s still cool because… city pride, right?

c) the group highlighted Dick’s – my favorite burger joint that I will miss moving down the coast.

I feel so lucky and privileged to have worked with all four of these individuals in the past, but mainly Hollis through Yow Yow! and Schoolboy Q through my work in the music industry. It’s amazing to see the four of them together in one video.

Quadstock – and why you should go

We’re just two days away from Quadstock 2010 and this year is sure to be much more “epic” than last year’s. Nearly every student at Seattle University knows that there are two Quadstocks. One is the actual event. The other is an event not put on or associated by SEAC at all and is basically a party for the masses. Both are great and both cater to types of people with different needs. I’d also like to let you know that you will be missing out if you choose not to attend this year’s Quadstock.

This year our Quadstock Chair has truly outdone himself. He has put together the best lineup that has ever come to Seattle University in the history of Quadstocks. Our main stage will include performances by Beehive, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Hey Marseilles, Dan Deacon, and

Tokyo Police Club!

We have touched based with a variety of genres including pop, hip hop, indie, local etc and each are bringing something new and fresh to the table. Hey Marseilles is a well-known local band from the Seattle area. Dan Deacon puts on the most incredible performances and this year Tokyo Police Club performed at Coachella and will perform at Bonnaroo– two very big music festivals [that you should know of]

Also, you should know that it isn’t easy planning a music festival. It has spanned over the entire school year and that it is also difficult to book musicians and artists because there is such a thing as tour dates, recordings in the studio, and contract bindings. It is not a job that anyone can do. And despite what you might think about us being a private school, we do not have infinite amounts of money.

Our chair has done a fantastic job! This year we are offering food from local vendors including Ezell’s, Dicks, Pita Pit, Jimmy Johns, and Mighty-O Donuts. Tickets are only $10! A ticket for a normal Tokyo Police Club show is $20+ but for this $10 price you are getting amazing food (lots of it!) and four other bands as well as being able to catch our wonderfully talented student performers.

Last reminders:

– If you don’t buy your tickets soon, they will probably sell out.

– We are not associated with the “other Quadstock,” but we are tempted to sell you one of our shirts for $20 when you ask us.

– Quadstock is for Seattle University students and is not open to the public.

Dicks takes a hit

At 9:20 PM last night, a car crashed into the Dicks drive in building at the Lake City Way location during business hours. Luckily, no one was injured, but the driver who appeared to be under the influence was arrested by police. Because of the accident, the restaurant is closed today and will be through Sunday.

Sadness. Why do people have to go drink and drive? You’re taking burgers away from the community!

I Love New York Deli coming to Capitol Hill!

Capitol Hill is on the verge of a major breakthrough. First Po Dog, Seattle University’s numerous remodelings, renovations of old buildings, Elliott Bay Book Company’s moving, and now we can add I Love New York Deli to the list.

The new I Love New York Deli location will be right off Broadway between Pike and Pine (of course.) Everyone get ready for amazing sandwiches and … get ready for this… they might be open 24 hours! Seattle University students, you now have one more late night eatery option to add to your list of “places to eat after a night out on the hill.” All this time, you’ve had the street meat, Pita Pit, Dicks, etc, but now you can sink your teeth into a nice delicous sandwich. Competition beware.
