SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA: Branching out

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.

WEDNESDAY READING: One long weekend

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

NON-STOP HIP-HOP: Comedy champ

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

No frills rock

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

Nice "Flow"

Nice "Flow"

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

Checking into "Six Hotels"

"What's your deal?" one wounded character asks another in Israel Horovitz's Six Hotels, currently making its West Coast premiere at Harlequin Productions in Olympia.  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

How punk got mellow

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

After writing about Tacoma Boys a few weeks back, it dawned on me that I had neglected to mention it's younger and smaller sibling H & L Produce on the edge of Lakewood. It has a tendency to fall off my grocery shopping radar because it's a little further away
