Pornos, Spoon, Animal Collective on Sonic Boom Comp Seattle's Sonic Boom Records will celebrate its 10th anniversary this month with the release of a two-disc compilation featuring the likes of Spoon, Animal Collective, the New Pornographers, Built to Spill, Band of Horses, Feist, Talib Kweli, the National, Dungen, the Black Lips, Figurines, Pinback, St. Vincent, Rilo Kiley, and more.

While supplies last, the compilation will come free to Sonic Boom's in-store and online customers starting September 15.

What's more, Sonic Boom has already started selling a limited-edition commemorative t-shirt designed by Yo La Tengo's James McNew. McNew's design is pictured above.

On September 23, the store will sponsor a team of runners for the Fremont Oktoberfest Brew-HA-HA 5K Run/Walk. After the race, there will be a private party at the War Room hosted by entertainer Matt Olsen and featuring DJs El Toro and Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney, the Jicks) on the wheels of steel. The party will also feature the debut of a short play featuring the Coconut Coolouts.

Sonic Boom founders and co-owners Jason Hughes and Nabil Ayers will continue the celebration on September 30 by taking over KNDD's "The Young & the Restless" show to play two hours of their favorite music to come out of the Pacific Northwest over the last 10 years.

Throughout the month, Sonic Boom's Capitol Hill and Ballard locations will host in-stores by A.C. Newman, the Lucksmiths, Vampire Weekend, Oakley Hall, and others.
