Then a new monthly live music event at Doyle’s Public House (one of my favorite watering holes these days) is probably for you. Seattle Celtic band Ockham’s Razor will perform at the inaugural St. Practice Day celebration on Sunday, and then the 17th of every month after that leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, according to managing partner Russ Heaton. Guinness and Jameson are optional.
Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, Nelly Furtado, Pussycat Dolls and Danity Kane were the biggest names at this year’s installment of Kiss-FM’s holiday gala Jingle Bell Bash. The show just ended a couple of hours ago at the Tacoma Dome.
High point: Nelly Furtado’s set. I recently wrote a less than flattering column about the Victoria, BC native, but I’m a believer now. I’d written her off after seeing her deliver a patchwork, genre hopping set at the Paramount back in 2002. Who was she trying to appeal to? The Lilith Fair set? Britney Spears

I had a blast in the photo pit at KeyArena last night for the End’s Deck the Hall Ball. Gnarls Barkley rocked an Austin Powers motif, and sounded great with a full backing band; even had a brief run in with Danger Mouse as he checked out the Shins, who played "Phantom Limb" and a couple more songs from their new album, along with the always pleasing “New Slang” and “Caring is Creepy.”
Jet did their garagey AC/DC impression, thrilling with hits “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch.” Taking Back Sunday singer Adam Lazarra
