This is a very good week for Seattle cinema. It's not the best, but as we carry on deeper into the 21st Century and the perilous unknown, it's of the utmost importance that we appreciate what we have. more ›

We never really got into Pink Floyd, but not for lack of trying. In high school we actively endeavored to enjoy the band by any means necessary. We listened to Wish You Were Here under the influence of homemade acid and moonshine, we viewed The Wall whilst freebasing peyote, we played Dark Side of the Moon simultaneous with Sister Act, and still--nothing. We gave up and found Radiohead instead. more ›

Answers will be forthcoming this afternoon, along with final standings and any other information we feel like we can cram into a post. In the meantime, entertain yourself with the questions from last night's quiz at the Old Pequliar: more ›

What better way to kick off Pride Weekend than with a parable about the gay recruitment agenda -- incidentally we hear David Bowie modeled his Goblin King performance after Johnny Depp -- and another one another one about Republican oilmen clashing with Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon? more ›

Currently enjoying premium real estate in the coveted "Best New Music" space on Pitchfork, Danielson (aka Daniel Smith) allegedly rocks - in italics - "with blaring trumpets signaling snares to exact their force beneath sweeping multitracked vocal choruses that simply won't stop crescendoing." The same article also claims that Sufjan Stevens serves as Danielson's "acolyte," which conjures up all kinds of unrelated and unfortunate images. more ›

Londonist prepares a Happy Birthday bath for Buddah this week and then things get all cliched. A madman goes on a rampage while axe-wiedling and London's mayor warns an American diplomat to avoid the kitchen if the heat bothers him so much. more ›

Okay, okay, we know that this year’s Bumbershoot lineup will leave you wondering what year it is, since we wouldn’t really call most of the acts especially current or relevant, but there are some things worth checking out. more ›

Another day, another great opening at the Northwest Film Forum. This time it's The Nomi Song, a documentary by Andrew Horn, opening tomorrow night. The subject of Horn's film is Klaus Nomi, an interesting dude, to make a vast understatement. Klaus wasn't "normal" by any means, and this film charts his journey from Berlin opera usher to androgynous robot/alien/New Wave cult icon. more ›
