SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA: Rules for the road

Don't despair. There is hope for the artist who wants to sell art without giving up their sovereignty, their uniqueness, their artistic soul. Sure it's true the machine manages to absorb, transform and reproduce every trend, innovation and movement within the aesthetic realm. And yes, there seems to be no

Shuffling, difficultly, toward death - and a little laughter

"Nothing is funnier than unhappiness ... It's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't

It used to be that California was what people dreamt of. Something about its distance and impossibility bewitched young men and trapped adults, beckoning to them while simultaneously mocking them for their hope. No one, it seemed, ever made it to California. Oh, but if you did. ... In California, a man

MUSIC PICKS: Valis, James And The Express, Tim Reynolds Trio, Josh Rizeberg

VALIS >>> Friday, April 9 Correct me if I'm wrong: Valis is a band made up of leather-clad, rock ‘n' roll Satan worshippers who live together in a giant interstellar vessel powered only by pure, gutturally wailing psychedelic metal and capable of leaping across time and space. Is that right? How goddamn

Steampunk goes Northwestern

Imagine it's 1879, and the American Civil War refuses to end. Imagine the technological advancement that comes from protracted wartime, the same thing that produced the first iron-plated battleships, stretching 15 years longer than our own history allowed. Imagine an industrial mining experiment gone terribly awry, releasing a mysterious undead

  If you've ever acted, directed or "teched" for a play (or even wanted to do any of those things), Tacoma Little Theatre's production of Noises Off is the play to see. In three acts that seem to take far less time than their two hours, the audience watches as the

Fifty-five gritty years ... and then some

I can't count the number of times I've written stories like this about Bob's Java Jive - the Tacoma legend. I've urged readers to save the Jive, honor the Jive, pay tribute to the Jive, and come spill cheap beer and be mildly grossed out by the bathrooms at the Jive. I've

NON-STOP HIP-HOP: Flowing is half the battle

Since its birth and nurturing period, hip-hop culture has served as an alternative path to the lifestyle that awaited youngsters in the Bronx - and New York's early heroin and gang-dominated era in the mid '70s.  For the founding generation, hip-hop became a powerful outlet for the type of expression

WEDNESDAY READING: Homecoming five years in the making

The first time I moved away from Southern California I was 7 years old. It was the middle of second-grade, Christmas break 1975.  Up until then I was a resident of Huntington Beach, Calif. Ed Reading was an editor, and when the cushy gig at Road & Track evaporated, the next gig

OK, I finally gave into the pressure. For weeks people have asked me why I haven't written about Metropolitan Market. Honestly, the reason is really simple: it's just too easy.
