Space camp

Space camp

It took Susan Sontag over six thousand words to describe "camp," so I probably shouldn't even try.  She viewed it as a "disengaged, depoliticized" aesthetic "sensibility" skewed toward "artifice and exaggeration," with a "spirit of extravagance" and "glorification of [exaggerated] ‘character.'"  Even in 1964, she recognized that homosexuals "constitute

Sweet Water

A few weeks ago I wrote a bit on Green Apple Quick Step, and the place they occupied in my own musical development. Living in a very similar place is Sweet Water. As yet another Seattle band signed to a major label in 1992-Nirvana's Nevermind was released in late

The McTuff Quartet

Concert Alert

The McTuff Quartet

With a lineup featuring accomplished jazz organist Joe Doria and saxophone legend Skerik, "The McTuff Quartet," as the group formally calls itself, promises some world-class virtuosity. Volume 1 delivers. The songs average about eight minutes each, and every song is, unsurprisingly, mostly soloing. But it's thanks to Doria's composition that

Low Limit vs. Lando Kal

If Ultraman decided to take a stab at the rap game, his beats would probably sound something like this. The Golden Handshake is an EP of tracks made separately by electronic music producers Lando Kal and Low Limit, who usually work together under the name Lazer Sword. Though futuristic,

TIKI LOGIC: Smile For Diamonds, ICK, Nymph ...

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. ... Wow. Just wow. Bobble Tiki long ago established himself as a self-promoting whore, so this pitch should come as no surprise, but

SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA: Turn on, tune in, drop out

Dear Tacoma. I've spoken to a lot of artists lately who feel a little underappreciated. Well, underappreciated is the wrong word.  More like taken advantage of. I know Tacoma sells itself as an arts town. We have several "world class" museums, whatever that means; one hard-working arts council; a few struggling non-profits

WEDNESDAY READING: California Dreaming (Part Two)

We woke up at Shelly's place. The boy wanted to go swimming - again - and his Godmother's daughter lived two blocks away with an amazing pool. He got even more daring this time out, doing bobs in water just over his head with little to no assistance. The

A guy from Canada

In the 1970s, a Canadian folk-rocker named Bruce Cockburn released almost an album a year for the entire decade. He missed 1977, but this was most likely due to a shortage of notebook paper he suffered after penning seven albums worth of material - so get off his back. My

Retrograde

When I asked Lisa Fruichantie what the word "retrograde" meant, she didn't know. The word was delivered to her in a horoscope, she tells me, in regard to some business with the planet Saturn. Upon discovering the meaning of the term, the complexity delighted me. You see, "Retrograde" is the name

What a wonderful find! An unheralded and untrained artist with innate talent, guts and sincerity is discovered, and you can see his paintings and sculptures at Tacoma Art Supply. Don't miss this. Tyrone Patkoski is half Polish and half Native American. He has survived homelessness and mental illness, has never studied
