Cruel Summer...Not Quite

Tom Waits' Summer Tour Does Not Come Anywhere Near Seattle

Neither does Lou Reed's

Nor does Portishead's.

Or My Bloody Valentine's, for that matter.

Stone Temple Pilots do not count

If it wasn't for Sub Pop's completely off-the-f'n-hook 20th Anniversary blowout (which not only includes the Vaselines reunion, but also Eric's Trip and Les Thugs and Comets on Fire, who were on hiatus not too long ago) I'd think we got the shaft.

In the end, however, I think Seattle's gonna make every other city jealous.
