"Bacon Angel" courtesy of Seattlest Flickr contributor erik98122 In the circle we run in, the word/topic/obsession du jour is bacon. It seems everywhere we turn, someone is lauding the delicious versatility of this once-breakfast-only meat. Proving that bacon is not just for breakfast anymore, the Food Network visited Archie McPhees last week to discuss this veritable (and in the case of some of their products, literal) meat candy.The Central District News is covering the bane......

Dead Baby Bike Race after-party photo by Sea Kay My Ballard and Phinney Wood shared a post on the annual Dead Baby Bike Race. With the recent fear-mongering regarding bicyclists in the local media--the bike race could likely have not come at a worse time.

Midway through the first opening band's set the velvet curtain was lifted to allow the accumulated dirty rocking masses full access to the Neumos floor. The CD title is The Hands and we haven't gotten all the way through it yet, but it......

There's nothing particularly different about Ali Marcus' new CD Miles and Miles and Miles, other than the fact that she's clearly done the songwriter thing for a while. The songwriter thing, of course, involves driving miles and miles and miles, singing your songs in tiny little nowhere towns, playing for tips, sleeping in tepees when the opportunity arises, etc. Recorded by Bubba Jones (sounds like a made-up name to us), Miles and Miles and......

"Patty Griffin" and "Rock This Town" aren't generally two phrases that go together easily. But, as tree-hugger, festival-going folk fans, by "rock," we generally mean "musically woo," or "melodically enthrall."

There's no such thing as a free ride. This week in speaking happenings is bursting with free-for-alls, but beware the "hidden costs" lurking beneath. Wednesday, December 6 >>>DORKBOT, 7:30pm. We love the name, but saying that they plan to "discuss their innovative approach to immersive, participatory entertainment" doesn't hide the fact that this will be geeks talking about videogames. Free, but only if you know the secret code: 'Knock knock, who's there?' 'Um, dorks?' 'Come......
