Apples and orphanages

They say you shouldn't compare apples and oranges. Why not? They're both round, they're both fruit - let's face it, they have more in common than not.  I suggest we change this illogical proverb to "Don't compare apples and orphanages," two things that really have nothing in common. Food for

Music as dominoes

Have you longed for the quirky emotionalism of Jonathan Richman to careen headlong into noise-rock? Sure you have. You just never knew it. Now, once those two sounds have been precariously welded together, how would you prefer them to be thrown at your head? If you said, "By way of a

Wild discovery

Mere weeks after their last Tacoma appearance, Seattle's Wild Orchid Children are set to return to town, where, presumably, they'll dole out mind-melting jams with typically persuasive pizzazz. The six-member band has perfected a recipe for psychedelic rock that's wholly unique - and derives, at least in part, from the

NON-STOP HIP-HOP: Hip-hop radio conundrum

I've been involved with hip-hop radio since 1989 when I was invited to visit KAOS 89.3 FM in Olympia - where I host a show to this very day.  I was intrigued by the smooth voice of hip-hop radio pioneer Nancy G. Plus, I never forgot about KDAY in Los

Lord of storytelling

This is a woman with presence. Her mere smile or scowl can send a shockwave through a room of people; her voice carries like a kite that hits the wind just right, and her words can swell an emotion as good as any full moon. Her name - Elizabeth Lord

Bite Us: Blessing Burger, The Den Tea Bar

A blessing A&W Burger Drive-In on Pacific Avenue South became Blessing Burger in late 2009. I fondly remember A&W; there was one in Logan, Utah where I was born. It had a round, interior fireplace and it was here that I discovered dunking fries (and later my burger) directly into

WEDNESDAY READING: Fuckin' Rush, dude!

I found a 2112 cassette tape in my P.E. locker midway through seventh-grade. I got home and put it in my mom's shoebox-sized player recorder - the kind with the little toggle switch.  Just play, stop and forward. The tape was already rewound to the beginning of side one.  "Overture/Temple of

How to read a shelf tag

This week's grocery musing is not focused on any particular store, however it's more about educating you on how to navigate around the store for the best deals. I will use Fred Meyer as an example because that is where I do the bulk of my shopping. Most grocery stores
