You know, I like living in the UK. It’s great. Sure, the weather can be a bit miserable and Wilco seem to be avoiding us, but it’s got it’s positives. However, when I get an email about Sub Pop’s 20th Birthday music festival in Seattle, the jealousy starts to rise to unhealthy proportions.
If you’re in the US and can make this, further details below. If, like me, you’re stuck in the UK, turn away now…
