Just discovered this fantastic blog that covers Seattle history.

At 38th and Densmore, in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. Here, the plants and flowers reach in, into and over the sidewalk, and it turns into something fun — a cozy vegetal carnival ride. For pedestrians.

Fascinating little post from my friend Ian about Jack London’s mother: http://newpsalmanazar.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/flora-wellman/

Here are a few songs I’ve found particularly enjoyable over the past few months.

Thanks Doug for the introduction to The Dodos.
