Grand Duchy at Siren Music Festival (07/18/09) Photos : Jon Klemm Looks like Frank Black / Black Francis / Charles Thompson is the Grand Duke of Early Indie Rock. His latest project, Grand Duchy , keeps him busy while the Pixies futz around with reissues, more reunion shows and not making new music. It’s not much of a stretch from his previous work, the difference being the trading of vocals with his wife Violet Clark. While the electronic parts gives the duo a little fun pop edge, the

While we were snapping photos of Seafood Fest… Like the excellent Raggedy Anns here on the music stage in Old Ballard… And a young aspiring football player trying on a Ballard helmet… Seattle Times artist Gabriel Campanario was sketching it. That’s right, he drew scenes from Seafood Fest and posted them here in his blog . We’ll be back out at the Fest on Sunday, and remember, bring your sunscreen — forecasters say it will be in the upper 80s. For more photos (and video) from Sa

Concern about the H1N1 virus grew after it spread quickly around the globe earlier this year.

Dan M asked: My dad and I are diehard Sox fans, but we’ve lived in Chicago for the last 8 years. This summer, we’re moving back to Boston, so we wanted to see what tickets were available.

In the last PhD update I outlined a change to tack. I’ve moved from working on chapter 2 (the lit review) to working on chapter 4. Chapter 4 is the first of two chapters, each describing one iteration of the 2 action research cycles that make up the core contribution of the thesis. Chapter 4 focuses on the period from 1996 through to 1999 and is titled “Build it and they will come”. The following is the introduction and first part of the first major section of that chapter.
