The Weekly Volcano never sleeps. It's true ... or very close to true. We average only a few hours of shut-eye a night, be it because we're compulsive insomniacs who stay up long hours practicing our karaoke chops (Rev. Adam McKinney), or simply because there's just so much to do.
Included in all this doing? As always, another shining installment of the Weekly Volcano music section.
We wouldn't lie. You better believe we managed to pump out another stellar Weekly Volcano music section - your every Thursday chance at the best in local music coverage.
Here's a look at the sonic goodness coming at you in print and online in this week's Volcano ...
For how orchestrated Really Old Airplanes is, it's an interesting moment when the band incorporates more lo-fi techniques. For instance, there are a couple songs on the band's debut LP, Forgotten Sadly, and Broken Ends, where songs are led by a simple line of percussion likely produced by a Casio.

HIP-HOP: SECOND FAMILY, HAVI BLAZE AND OTHERS
I guess all the major artists are laying it on heavy right now. Havi Blaze, one of the best lyricists from Tacoma at the moment, recently released a new single, "I'm On It". YouTube it, although brace yourself for the visual that comes with the song. Ha! It's nothing ya want to see right after ya eat. The song is a little more fun and upbeat than Havi's usual thoughtful, cerebral songs. It's still wordy though, with enough wordplay to keep the truest of heads listening. ... -- Josh Rizeberg
The last thing I thought I'd be doing when I first put on a Bodybox song is begin to marvel at the unexpected vocal similarities between Bodybox frontman Kurt Lindsay and late cult singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley. "Supernova," in particular, shares qualities with Buckley's slash-and-burn classic, "Grace." Both songs cascade on waves of drama, building up to inscrutably fervent climaxes. Lindsay's voice, like Buckley's (though, of course, no one can truly touch Jeff Buckley, vocally), is simultaneously full of bravado and wounded timidity. ... -- Rev. AM
