Can't Miss It: Tuesday
IN A WU TANG WAY: Not being of the hip-hop persuasion ourselves, Seattlest asked our resident hip-hop guru Katelyn how relevant it may be to people that Gza of Wu Tang Clan fame is playing at Neumo's tonight. She basically said it was relevant "in a Wu Tang way." We don't know what that means, but if you do, then Neumo's is your place to be.
8 p.m. doors // Neumo's // $20
YOUR BRAIN ON MUSIC: We're aware of Native American creation myths that have the world being sung into existence—something we like the idea of. Scientist, musician, and author extraordinaire Daniel J. Levitin has now written a book sort of about that. The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature sounds like something we must put on our to-read list ASAP. He'll be reading from it tonight at Elliott Bay.
7:30 p.m. // Elliott Bay Books // Free
KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE: It hasn't been an amazing season for our hometown ballplayers, but it's still fun to go watch them play. They'll be at home again tonight versus the Twins. Go have a beer and a hot dog (or one of those delicious BBQ pork sandwiches) and enjoy what's predicted to be a nice, cool, late summer evening at the ballpark.
7:10 p.m. // Safeco Field // $15-68
