Bumbershoot vs. Burning Man…The Final Round
Or like, Round III if your keeping track Jack-O…and I know you are…
The theme this year at Burning Man is “Green“. Which is good ’cause we all need a little more green in our lives. Obvious references aside, Burning Man leaves one mammoth carbon footprint once it’s all said and done…so there’s that bloated factoid and the fact that “the” man is set to burn (the same “the” man who was prematurely burned two days ago by this dude) for real this weekend…
So I gotta give this final round to Burning Man because burning stuff while ‘outa your tits in the middle of the desert RULES…although it was really close. Bumbershoot’s Monday lineup is completely worthy of that Tuesday-after-Labor-Day hangover. If you show up for work at all…which, if I had a “job” (whatever that is) I would so not be going to whatever that job was on Tuesday. The downside of all this is that you have a job. So Cherrybombed suggests you start cooking up some sort of excuse soup now…but please leave anything that involves your Gramp’s out of it…that’s just bad Karma…
AND of all the days, Cherrybombed thinks Monday has the best Northwest music lineup of the weekend long festival. What that means is the likes of The Blakes, Viva Voce, The Whore Moans (!) and Das Llamas will rock you like KLF…watch out…
Monday - September 3rd:
2:15 PM - The Blakes
Sound Transit Stage
*Another local love of Cherrybombed. The boys have been playing all around Seattle lately but if you missed ‘em somehow…well…see you at the Sound Transit Stage at 2:15. Plus you’ll get to hear songs from the new EP “Light in the Attic”…sweet*
3:30 PM - Blood Squad
Vera Stage
*Bloody, blood-blood LIVE improv from Jet City*
4:00 PM - Viva Voce

8:30 PM Steve Earl
Starbucks Stage
*Steve Earle is on at 8:30…if I need to tell you more there is something very wrong with your musical priorities*
**Cherrybombed thinks that it’s reasonable to dream that you could see Steve Earle, hit the beer garden and also catch The Whore Moans. Although I’ve never thought much of being reasonable…except in the name of Beer & Roll of course…**
9:15 PM - The Whore Moans
Sky Church (EMP)
*TWM possess a high level of excellentness…and they sweat a lot…*
9:30 PM - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

*Very well worth a trip on Sound Transit…I mean to the Sound Transit Stage*

You gave Round III to TBM…what are you? Out of your fuckin’ mind???? Anyone can burn shit in the name of “the man.” It’s so overdone!
Steve Earle, Lyrics Born, the best of the PNW (but where are the Earaches?)…and you gave the round to TBM. Sista I am mad!
On a side note, I flew to Reno last Wednesday for a business trip and the plane was filled with the smell patchouli…not nice at 7 in the morning.
