SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA: Make connections personal

Tacoma love songs

I'd like to preface this list by saying that I totally wussed out. Love songs are a personal thing, you know? I couldn't assign numbers to these songs, no matter how hard I tried. I know some people would have chosen different songs - songs that tug at their

It seems to me that, this far along in the history of music, the only boundary left to be broken is  listenability. With people destructing nearly every sound and mashing them up, all you can really do to distinguish yourself is make your product unpalatable. Believe me, plenty of bands

Harlequin's "Rabbit Hole"

In his notes for Harlequin's production of Rabbit Hole, director Brian Tyrrell mentions his fondness for "well written plays."  His phrasing leaped out at me - not just because playwright David Lindsay-Abaire is good at his job, which he clearly is, but because it echoes a phrase from my theater

BITE US: Burgerama, biscuits and gravy

Burgerama The history of the hamburger is fairly mythical. The Menches family of Ohio claims to have invented the hamburger at an 1885 fair in Hamburg, New York, when heat and humidity forced them to stop butchering pigs. In all probability, the hamburger was a good idea waiting to happen,
