Since this is a slow week, presale-wise, let’s take a look over at Google Analytics and see what they have to say about how you ended up here in the second quarter of 2008:

1) Radiohead (11% of searches)
2) Weezer (4% of searches)
3) Sasquatch: R.E.M. / The Cure
4) Judas Priest
5) Stevie Wonder
6) Duran Duran
7) Tom Petty / Steve Winwood
8) Summer Camp: Flogging Molly / Nada Surf / MGMT / Armor For Sleep
9) Motley Crue
10) Jack Johnson
11) The Dandy Warhols
12) Willie Nelson
13) New Kids On The Block
14) Mayhem Festival: Slipknot / Disturbed
15) Endfest
16) My Morning Jacket
17) Boston / Styx
18) Sigur Ros
19) Journey / Heart / Cheap Trick
20) The Police / Elvis Costello
21) Neil Diamond

A few random thoughts:

**Radiohead is the most popular band in Seattle.

**When Weezer actually schedules a concert here, it’s gonna be big.

**The surprise hit so far this year was definitely Duran Duran, and a number of classic touring workhorses still perform well in indie Seattle.

**Further down the list than expected, and I wouldn’t want to be the promoters right now for: The Beach Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, Dave Matthews, and George Michael.

**Virtually all of the traffic looking for Sub Pop 20 is coming this way via “Flight of the Conchords.” If that’s who you’re planning to see on sold-out Saturday (and you are), plan ahead. Good luck!
