NON-STOP HIP-HOP: Confidence is key

Gangstas.  Hipsters.  B-Boys/Girls.  Juggalos.  The Skinny Pantsers?  Who knows?  There are so many different sub-genres and clicks stemming from hip-hop culture right now.  It's hard to keep up with who's who, and it's even more difficult to nail down the specific characteristics that accompany these newly emerging contingents in hip-hop.

AU is a band shrinking in the aftermath - having recently been hotly engorged. Ballooning from a solo bedroom pop act to a remarkable 20 members, the band became an experimental chamber pop collection that utilized every hand and voice in creating thickly orchestrated arrangements.

Gearing up

You probably know the drill. You may even be sharing in the contemporary-indie ritual with me Saturday morning; packing up functional, concert-tested clothing, saying a little prayer that your piece-of-crap car will make it over the pass one more time, and figuring out which nook of your backpack or crotch

TIKI LOGIC: Floater, The Den's great weekend

It's a new week, which means it's time for a new installment of Bobble Tiki's South Sound music news and notes column. Without further ado, let's get rolling.

WEDNESDAY READING: Part Two of Tacoma, 2005-'07

The doctor had some tests she'd need to do on Monday before she could find out if the cancer had spread. That is a very surreal sentence to hear someone directing at you. There was nothing else to do. They brought my wife in. I told her what they had

SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA: This just in

We live in stressful times. And stress is a creativity killer. I'm not talking about the economy or wars or crime. Sure, macro-madness adds to our stress levels - lends a sort of ambient, draining buzz, like the hum of fluorescent lights. But that kind of stress is easy to deal

Would you like to see why Jeremy Mangan won the 2009 Foundation of Art Award from The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation? A peek at his show at Fulcrum Gallery might provide a good clue. Mangan's paintings are inventive, thought provoking, humorous, technically marvelous and beautifully composed. What more can you ask

Nostalgic jukebox musical

I can question like: What is it? If you just chanted, "Verb, you're so demanding," then you're probably in your late 30s or early 40s.  I'm referring, of course, to a lyric from the most dynamic installment of Schoolhouse Rock!, a series of edu-taining cartoon shorts aired between Saturday morning commercials

While Tacoma is my homey, Gig Harbor will always have a place in my heart. If I didn't live in T-town, I'm pretty sure I would live across the bridge somewhere. I did occupy The Harbor once upon a time, and worked in Tacoma. There was something very special about
