Mount St. Helens: 30 Years Ago
On May 18th, 1980, the ground shook beneath Mount St. Helens in Washington state as a magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck, setting off one of the largest landslides in recorded history - the entire north slope of the volcano slid away. As the land moved, it exposed the superheated core of the volcano setting off gigantic explosions and eruptions of steam, ash and rock debris. The blast was heard hundreds of miles away, the pressure wave flattened entire forests, the heat melted glaciers and set off destructive mudflows, and 57 people lost their lives. The erupting ash column shot up 80,000 feet into the atmosphere for over 10 hours, depositing ash across Eastern Washington and 10 other states. See more photos HERE.

White Light 22 & 23
WHITE LIGHT 22: WAX ROMEO
"I've been a big fan of the White Light series since very early on after its inception, so naturally, I was pretty excited to get cracking on my contribution. The hard part was whittling it down to something that wouldn't have you in your golden years before the halfway point. In the end, I would up with a couple of classics, some newer stuff, a couple weird dollar-bin finds from Recordland in Calgary, and even a couple that I made. I tried to do a mix that would sound as good in your white Miata as it would at your next séance. At any rate, I hope it's something you can get down to. So lick your lips and have a listen 'cause I like you a lot'." Download HERE and be sure to mark your calendars for Wax Romeo at Fortune on Friday June 4!
WHITE LIGHT 23: MOUILLINEX
"There's something magical happening right before the end of a summer day... that golden hour just before sunset, when things are tired, shadows become longest and the world is laid back, waiting for the night to come. These tracks belong to this very hour." Download HERE.
SNFU Re-cap
SNFU was re-united with original drummer Jon Card last Tuesday at Fortune Sound. See more photos by Mark Gutknecht HERE.
Eleven & The Dude
"I'm a big Devin The Dude fan! He's the perfect combination of an exceptionally talented musician, a great MC and a hilarious & charismatic guy. Just before the first of the year, I sat down and started going through everything he's ever been on, to unearth all my personal favourites. While doing that, I got to thinking on how similar Devin was to another Dude character. Months later, the unholy combination of Devin Copeland + Jeffrey Lebowski + Joe Eleven emerged from the laboratory. And with that..." -DJ Eleven
