When we talk about art, most of us mean visual art - painting, drawing, collage. But we have plenty of that stuff, folks. How about laser art, earth art, air art, sound art or fungus art? What about fiber art? Just kidding. Here's the point - let's mix it up.

I never got the chance to see Mother Love Bone. I met the bass player, Jeff (Ament), one time at the Alice in Chains Pain in the Grass show in the summer of 1989. Al Tompkins from my first band, Sledge, introduced us. We hung out for a second -

MEET DONNY VOMIT For nearly a decade Vomit has been performing acts of a strange, bizarre, odd and macabre nature. In 2003 he touched down in Coney Island to become the Master of Ceremonies of the Sideshow, but his skills don't just end with his good looks and devilish charm. He

The Puget Sound is not particularly known as a comedy haven, although Tacoma's Ralph Porter is a veteran of the laugh circuit. In terms of this column, the marriage of hip-hop and comedy has always been a necessary fixture, from the brilliant antics of The Fat Boys to Russell Simmons'

Spring warmth still in the air, people began to gather in the parking lot of the Labor Temple on the corner of Capitol Way and State Avenue in downtown Olympia. Children and bicycles took the place of cars, and DJ and information booths welcomed the crowd. Musicians, dancers and spoken

I want to be clear. I would never endorse judging a person by their ringtone or answer tone. For those who've never had the pleasure, an answer tone is just like a ringtone, only the person calling hears it instead of the customary dialing noise. I've seen a lot of

The show is called Flow, and the drawings by Andrea Erickson and Maureen McHugh at mineral do present a nice flow of contrasting and blending styles. Their art is billed as calligraphic, which is highly descriptive of Erickson's sumi paintings, but McHugh's abstractions in ink are not so much calligraphic

It's an apt tag line for Six Hotels, a disparate collection of one-act plays. If this anthology has any single uniting theme, it's the exposure of

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. What a week. As you probably didn't notice, Bobble Tiki took last week off. He spent some time untangling his

SWEATSHOP UNION >>> Thursday, May 13 Working class, gritty and grimy hip-hop rears its beautiful head with the arrival of Sweatshop Union in the South Puget Sound tonight. A mighty contingent of Canadian DJs and MCs prepare to wreck shop with one of the dopest live shows you will see.

The I's are Portland glam-garage by way of Austin punk, and when they land in Olympia they'll be playing bluesy folk-rock, informed though it may be by a good chunk of musical history. Fronted by S.I.D. Need, AKA Jona Napier, the I's is a collection of musicians who met while perpetually
