• Posted Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater @ the Paramount This Weekend to Seattlest
  Tonight's show starts at 8pm and Sunday's matinee is at 2pm. Tickets are available online or at the Paramount's box office before the show. Programs for both performances are available on the Ailey site. As the curtains parted at the Paramount last night to reveal an undulating gray mass of dancers at center stage, it was immediately obvious that we were in for an evening of dance vastly difference from the usual Seattle repertoire. When...
• Posted Because Washington Matters This Year: Your 2008 Caucus Guide to Seattlest
  Are you guys watching this race? Incredible! Super Tuesday has officially come and gone, delegates divided, $250 million in campaign money spent, and still no Democratic frontrunner in sight.

Neither do we.). We're feeling equally ambivalent about "Geography," the latest piece from local choreographer/composer duo Scott/Powell Production, premiering this weekend at On the Boards....
• Posted PB&J at the Showbox to Seattlest
  Remember a few years back when "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" came out and the Flaming Lips were suddenly everywhere? Mitsubishi started using "Do You Realize" to hawk their cars and Justin Timberlake was dressing up in a dolphin suit and jumping on stage during Lips shows? For a few glorious moments the hipsters and frat boys were humming the same tune, and no one seemed to mind. Flash forward to early 2007 and...
• Posted Spoon at the Showbox: We're Old? to Seattlest
  Our sophomore year boyfriend was mid-grope when we heard our first Spoon song and stopped paying attention to him entirely. While the relationship proved futile (shocking!) our love for "Change My Life" remains as solid as ever. Is it hormone-fueled nostalgia that keeps our Spoon flame burning? Or is it just Britt Daniel? It's Britt Daniel. And eight incredible albums. It's like a 49/51 split, really. We're not even going to try and write about...
