These guys are not friends. They should just beat each other with sticks and stop pretending that they’re on good terms. It gets worse with each episode.

The Heavy
September 12th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Music
My favorite band of the day.
The Heavy, a dirty sounding “Experimental/Blues/Funk” act from Bath, England are planning to release their debut album – Great Vengeance & Furious Fire – in November ‘07. For now there’s just the three songs on their MySpace page and this video.
They’re starting to get some radio play on KEXP, so I hope we see them tour on this side of the planet at some point.

This Seattle Times article is the first story from a local paper I’ve seen that doesn’t firmly stick to the “Seattle is special” real estate mantra. I appreciate the Times’ smooth transition from their previous stance of “things are just different here than they are in the rest of the country” to today’s reference to an “inevitable correction”.
Key points:
- Higher interest rates on jumbo loans – those larger than $417,000.
- “Nearly half of the single-family houses for sale in King County, plus 21 percent of the condos, have sales prices high enough to require jumbo loans — and that’s if buyers reduce their loan amount by putting 20 percent down.”
