Late last year, Sean and Robin Wright Penn filed the paperwork necessary to put their marriage the way of yesterday's hangover. Tuesday night, the couple attended Eddie Vedder's Berkeley, Calfornia show at the Zellerbach Theatre—together. The Into the Wild director apparently even hopped on stage to dedicate one of Eddie's songs to his wife; a special birthday surprise. (We're guessing he didn't choose "Better Man.") Turns out the near-divorcees asked that their dissolution proceeding......

Well, it's been a month, and that can only mean one thing: time for the next free edgy youth culture documentary, care of Scion. Last time around, the topic was blood diamonds in hip hop; this time it's all about nightclubbing in the late '80s NYC queer community. Paris is Burning is all about New York fashion houses, but not the ones you may think you know. African American and Latino gay men and......

Seattlest left Cooper's Alehouse at 10:40 last night with a brand new bucket, part of our team's prize for coming in 5th place. And we wondered why we'd never managed to check out their trivia night when we lived within walking distance. It was a good quiz. Cooper's quiz is scheduled for 8:45 Tuesday nights, though last night's kicked off at 9:00. It's 40 questions, uncategorized. Teams trade answer sheets for scoring. After about......

Pearl Jam’s singer and most frequent songwriter will be releasing a solo album bunch of songs later this year. Without the four guys who, surrounding him, comprise the one band that survived the grunge explosion/implosion and still rocks today. It seems he and Sean Penn think so much alike (politically? Madonna-ly?) that Vedder recorded a near-recordful of songs for Penn’s latest directorial effort, Into the Wild. (Eddie contributed to previous Penn projects I Am Sam......

In the early '90s, we never guessed that "Groove Is in the Heart" would cross generations. But when DJ Derek Mazzone pumped the peppy sounds of Dee-Lite through the speakers shortly after we arrived at Baby Loves Disco, Little Miss Seattlest channeled Lady Miss Kier, shaking her diapered booty with a vengeance. Baby Loves Disco is a cross-country phenomenon, at least among parents. The line outside Chop Suey at 11:10 Sunday morning testified to......

In the final show of its second season, the Washington Ensemble Theatre tackles a question for the ages: What is Sexy? The answer is not so much a play as a series of ruminations, borne of an open-ended actor's game in which several of WET's founding members (amongst other UW theater students) participated. The ensemble developed it further over the past year into the work as it now stands, buoyantly directed by Marc Kenison......

We want to see you naked: Do you love to express yourself in a Madonna-esque fashion? Have you seen a burlesque show and said "that should be me on that stage!" Do you have your sexy stage name picked out? The lovely ladies of Glitzkrieg Burlesque Bombshells want to hear from you. They want to hire some new performers for their troupe. Full details and some sexy photos are on their website. We may not......

During the telecast of the Mariners' 6-2 win over Oakland last night, the TV cameras captured an activity we haven't seen much of in the Mariner dugout recently--laughter. The Mariners are having fun, and with good reason. They're two games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2003 season, they've gotten two solid performances from the two biggest questions on the pitching staff, and the young guys--Jeremy Reed (with seven total......

For those of us compulsive channel-changers whose dials aren't permanently affixed to KEXP or NPR, finding good stuff on the radio can be maddening. Consider KBSG, the moldy oldies station at 97.3 FM. Upon its 1988 inception, "oldies" seemed to mean Top-40 hits from the mid-'50s to late '60s, emphasizing seminal artists (Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis) as well as Motown and the British Invasion. Then, sometime in the '90s, KBSG introduced '70s rock (the......
