Creating art that reflects who you are - your soul's uniqueness and unique expression - is hard these days. We're overwhelmed and overloaded with imagery and sound. Ad chatter and

Olympia Family Theater's "Jungalbook"

In 1893, when Rudyard Kipling wrote his first Mowgli the "man cub" story, his work was shaped by a dozen years on the Indian subcontinent, but also by a warm view of English imperialism.  Sociopolitical relics aside, the two Jungle Book anthologies remain popular with schoolchildren; indeed, the Mowgli narrative

WORLD'S GREATEST GHOSTS >>> Friday, April 2 Remember in the movie Casper when Winona Ryder asks the titular friendly ghost what his spectral body is made of? He replies that he thinks it's made of the same stuff that makes your feet tingle when they fall asleep. That's kind of how I

Tacoma's Ben Union owns Jazzbones. Though I write such a sentence with a Tacoma wink and a smirk, as "owning" Jazzbones isn't exactly the sort of thing that gets you a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - the statement is nonetheless true. Over the course of Union's short, locally

WEDNESDAY READING: I'm in a Nirvana video

In 1991 I was working in Lynnwood, living in the U-District, and thoroughly wrapped up in the local music comings and goings, or at least as much as I could be while playing in a band(s) that had - for the most part - missed the first train leaving Grunge Station headed
