After an intentionally slow Saturday – besides Beck there were no absolute must sees – we headed back to Bumbershoot Sunday for a whammy of an evening. Everything we planned to see was packed into the last five hours of the day.

This weekend I'll be traveling with my partner in crime to Seattle for the sold out Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival. Just looking at the breadth of this festival strikes fatigue in my bones.

I'm probably going to get slammed for this one. Here's the thing: I don't get Stone Temple Pilots. I never did. Here's a band that rode the coattails of grunge into 17.5 million album sales (and counting).

Libertad is the sophomore effort from the hard rock band Velvet Revolver. Their first album, Contraband, was released in June 2004. Velvet Revolver is comprised of Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum formally from Guns N Roses.
