On October 1st, KEXP is putting on a benefit* with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Math and Physics Club, The National, M83, and John Vanderslice. The whole shebang will be taking place at Neumo’s in Seattle, with a tentative kick-off around 5pm. It’s 21+, sadly, but those of you who are of age can snag tickets here. For those of you who, like myself, aren’t able to booze it up, they’ll be doing live radio sets through the whole day, so hit up KEXP’s studio time table for more details.

Also, donate to KEXP and they might send you to see Beck, The Arcade Fire, The Flaming Lips and The Shins. Way to encourage charity, fellas. (link)

*after a little digging around KEXP’s site, it turns out the “benefit” will be giving money to *drumroll* KEXP! Haha. Not that this is dishonest or anything, but I just found it a little silly to call it a “benefit” when you’re just funding yourself.
