Kingfish Out of Water

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

As if being pummeled by a succession of devastating storms weren't enough, Louisiana has now apparently aroused the ire of Intiman, which takes aim at the home state of David Duke and Ray Nagin for the second time in a season. Having pinioned the family with its largely satisfying production of <...

PICK "Men in Dance": They're Not Just for Lifting Anymore

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

In its seventh year, this equal-opportunity showcase is a real grab bag, ranging from seasoned artists at the top of their careers to young enthusiasts just starting out.

One of the biggest pleasures this year is the appearance of skilled artists who aren't seen often enough on local stages...

Carved to the Bone

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

This stage resurrection of George A. Romero's 1968 horror classic proves more sanitary than sanguine. With a running time that's barely more than an hour, it's a campy distraction that will remind parents of Carol Burnett–style sketch comedy. Teens accustomed to gorefests like Saw ...

The Bard and the Ballot Box

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

I've been on vacation this past week, visiting family in small-town New Hampshire, with the greatest excitement of the whole trip being a drive up to the White Mountains to see the leaves change color. (It was worth it—every mountainside covered with a stunning calico of red, orange, yellow...

Beautiful Plastic

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

One of the most striking pieces in "Gimme: From Inspiration to Appropriation," an exhibit curated by Suzanne Beal at Cornish, is a plastic water bottle. The bottle looks crystalline, almost as though the plastic had been heated, melted, and allowed to bubble and cool, forming delicate, evenly spa...

Factoria's Taste of India

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Even in the midst of the Wall Street meltdown, I kick myself for not scraping together every penny I owned to buy a few shares of Google stock when it went public in 2004. Not only because I would have been a multi-thousandaire by now, but because the damn thing pract...

Amontillado: Symphony in Amber

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Outside of serving as a fiendish prop in a great Edgar Allen Poe story, sherry has suffered a horrible rap. If the humiliation of Harvey's Bristol Cream, that old bottle you used to catch Grandma sipping from, counts as the first dent in sherry's reputation, the final blow was rung by its favored...

So Who Do You Think Should Pay for Dinner?

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Re: "The War on Error" by Jesse Froehling (September 17)

In your story about Mark Powell and his dispute with the P-I, you allowed him to say unchallenged that our film reviewer, Bill Arnold, is a "fraud" with "desperate ethical problems." I think ...

The Lost Cats of Poverty Gulch

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Pete Morisseau is a burly man with an intimidating face. His head is square; his grip firm; his shoulders broad. He looks like the type of guy you'd want on the front lines of a barroom brawl, on the football field, or in a Middle Eastern firefight. He does not, however, look like the sort of guy...

My House Ain’t That Nice!

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

It's probably safe to say that Dorothy Strand Gorman doesn't normally call attention to the rundown aspects of her house, situated in a tony part of Belle-vue called Somerset. But when she got a notice from the King County Assessor's office valuing her home at $588,00...

Not Satire: Do You Want to Live Under the Viaduct?

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Lost in the recent public announcement of House Speaker Frank Chopp's vision for the Alaskan Way Viaduct was the fact that, in addition to the retail and office space that could be stashed under the wall of highway (with a park on top, to boot), planners are also considering putting residential s...

Eyman's Edicts

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Tim Eyman's allegedly traffic-reducing Initiative 985 is guaranteed to pass this November 4. How do we know? Eyman is already issuing directives to the state's Department of Transportation.

In an e-mail addressed to Gov. Chris Gregoire that he also sent to press last month, Eyman demanded: ...

The War on the War on Drugs Hits Kirkland

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Containing parts of Kirkland, Redmond, Woodinville, and points east, the 45th Legislative District is hardly a hotbed of radicalism. But the two candidates for one of the district's two House seats share a position well out of the political mainstream: They both advocate wholesale changes to the ...

Thyme Bandits

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

One day last month, as she was preparing to make a cake from the Italian plums that had ripened in the tree growing in front of her Beacon Hill home, Hazel Singer discovered she was too late. Her tree had been picked clean, sometime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., she says.

Though she'd had tul...

New Music From T.I. and Growing

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

T.I. Paper Trail (Atlantic)

T.I.'s previous album, T.I. vs. T.I.P., focused on the uninteresting duality of being both a menacing street dude and a successful pop star. A commercial and critical disappointment, it was nothing if not prescient: A few months...

Stephen John Kalinich's LP With Brian Wilson Gets Rescued

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Stephen John Kalinich wrote a poem in the late '60s called "Be Still" that was set to music by his friend Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. It was intended for a spoken-word album of Kalinich's that Wilson produced. I explained to Kalinich that "Be Still" is the only so...

Every Tuesday’s a Friday

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Lee's Unleaded Blues is a bar located in Chicago's South Side, along a foreboding stretch of asphalt where about the only signs of life at night are a handful of package stores. When a friend and I visited about a year ago, Lee's began filling up with nattily-dressed black folks and a blues band ...

Highlights From REVERBfest 2008

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

I've probably been to more music festivals in 2008 than in any other year of my adult life. Most were entirely worth enduring porta-potty purgatory (Pitchfork in Chicago), and some were historical and deeply moving events (All Tomorrow's Parties in New York), but none of them had...

Friends Without Benefits

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Dear Dategirl,

I started a friends-with-benefits relationship a few years back with a guy I'd known for a while. He always had girlfriends when we hooked up, and I knew it. (I never had a boyfriend, not that that makes me lily-white here.) Everything was going fin...

This Week's Horoscopes

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22)

Forget being efficient and getting a lot done this week. Ignore the Virgos, who work as though they have four arms and two heads and can do 12 things at once. Multitasking is just not your friend right now. In order to get anything accomplished, be single-mi...

Please Excuse the Clip Episode

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Dear Readers,

I don't like to rerun columns 'cause it makes me look like a lazy Mexican, but I realize that as my column invades foreign terrain (Chattanooga! Columbia, South Carolina! Steamboat Springs, Colorado!), new readers might not understand some of my commandments. Following, then...

Your Hair, Your Neighbors, and a Tip for Tippers

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Dear Uptight Seattleite,

I changed my name to "Warrior," but I can't get anyone to call me that. What should I do?
Ex-Steven

Dear Ex-Steven,

You've made a painful discovery: At the end of a journey of transfo...

Body of Lies: The War on Terror Hits Leo!

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

A new kind of war movie for a new kind of war, Body of Lies is about the War on Terror as it is being waged on the ground, in the air, but most of all in cyberspace. Directed with terrific verve by Ridley Scott (coming after the listless American Gangster) from ...

Call + Response: Slavery Is Bigger Than Illegal Downloading?

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Somebody's got to pick up where Bono left off, right? A Bay Area musician and Live Aid baby, Justin Dillon recently discovered human trafficking, then decided to make a movie about it. Performance excerpts from what will presumably be the companion music DVD (the "Concert to End Slavery") are ann...

The Express: A Spot of Glory Amid Our Current Terrible Football Season

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

The story of Syracuse running back Ernie Davis—the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy, in 1961, two years before he succumbed to leukemia—is absolutely worthy of a big-screen retelling. Davis, who died before ever playing a down alongside Jim Brown for the Cleveland Brow...

The Grocer's Son: A Red State-Blue State Divide in France

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Director Eric Guirado's The Grocer's Son is a small, self-assured film that moves at its own pace, always staying one graceful step ahead of its reluctant protagonist. City boy Antoine (Nicolas Cazalé) has a built-in curl to his lip and a sleek, dark velvet brow; resentment is the...

Rachel Getting Married: Anne Hathaway Has a Filthy Mouth

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Those who believe that Jonathan Demme went all soft with Philadelphia and never recovered may not be reassured by his latest movie, an ensemble tale of family pathology gussied up with handheld vérité camera work, world music, and improvising actors both trained and not. Yo...

PICK Secrecy: More Bad News About Our Government

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Few Americans would argue with Winston Churchill's dictum: "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies." But the culture of secrecy that has developed within the Bush/Cheney White House has taken that admonition to dangerous extremes. The inherent t...

What We Do Is Secret: The Germs Are Resurrected

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

In my day, you had to visit a dozen Blockbusters to find a ratty copy of The Decline of Western Civilization. Now the story of Darby Crash and the Germs has been pruned into the same formulaic Great Man narrative you'd expect to see applied to, say, Babe Ruth. Crash, the frontman of one ...

Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story: The Guy Who Brought You Willie Horton

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Just about everyone interviewed for Stefan Forbes’ fascinating documentary about Lee Atwater—whether Democrat or Republican pols, African-American bluesmen or hardened reporters—ends anecdotes about the Republican strategist’s dirty tricks with a titter that’s either ne...

America’s Test Kitchen

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Hosted by Christopher Kimball (you know, the guy in the bow tie), America’s Test Kitchen is a cross-media phenomenon. Having grown out of the venerable Cook’s Illustrated magazine, this popular PBS cooking show is now in its seventh season. With its culinary-nerd chic, ATK...

Weezer

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Much like Aerosmith when the band was all on drugs, or Elton John when he was still bi, the general consensus is that Weezer reached its creative peak while Rivers Cuomo was at his all-time personal low. But the band has persevered, releasing its sixth album, Weezer (just call it “the red album...

The Godfather

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
The best movie opening this weekend is 36 years old. Completely restored for its multi-disc DVD box-set release (Paramount, $72.99), Francis Ford Coppola’s Oscar-winning The Godfather may look better now than it did in 1972. The famously thick chiaroscuro lighting of cinematographer Gord...

Richard Misrach: On the Beach

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Bay Area photographer Richard Misrach is best known for his decades-long Desert Cantos series, which deals with the vastness and scale of the American West. The environment is a political construct for him, something humans shape by their choices and policies. This new traveling show of 20 la...

Stars

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
On their latest record, the EP Sad Robot, Montreal’s Stars have dropped most of their Anglophile pretensions and Smiths aspirations to craft a dreamy parachute for the downward slope of an Ecstasy trip. This is to say they basically let Amy Millan’s sultry monotone wash over the ent...

April Brimer: Portraits of Curiosity

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Looking at April Brimer’s portraits, you can’t help but wonder what is happening. Why is that girl’s popcorn flying out of its box? Does that foxy lady know there’s a fox under her bed? And who is that hunk in the sexy horn-rimmed glasses? Is it me? Unfortunately there aren’...

Dennis Lehane

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Race, unions, the Spanish flu, God, and baseball—these are not the staples one associates with the acclaimed crime novels of Dennis Lehane (Mystic River; Gone, Baby, Gone). In The Given Day (Morrow, $27.95), he takes those ingredients and adds a dash of Boston political int...

Art Spiegelman

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
With a Pulitzer Prize behind him for Maus, and the trauma of 9/11 transformed into In the Shadow of No Towers, what horrifying subject does Art Spiegelman tackle next? His own childhood, of course, and coming of age. Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*! (Pantheon,...

Pulp Fiction

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
We have just one question for you: How do we know which wallet belongs to Jules Winnfield? There’s no excuse for missing Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 Oscar-winner with its big talented cast and wonderfully elliptical storytelling. How can you go wrong with John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim...

The Exiles

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
This forgotten 1961 indie is set largely in L.A.’s working-class Bunker Hill district, since razed for office towers. It’s a lost film in a lost neighborhood full of lost people; you can’t get much more forlorn than that. Shot over three years without location sound by Kent MacKenzie,...

Metro Classics

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
This nine-title repertory series begins with a picture shot in the very rubble of WWII. Roberto Rossellini’s 1945 neorealist classic Rome, Open City builds upon actual events and characters from the underground Resistance, which battled Nazi occupiers by using priests, women, and even ch...

Anatomy of a Murder

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
James Stewart defends the innocent again in this oft-overrated 1959 Otto Preminger legal drama, which continues to catch audiences napping with its frank testimony about rape and human sexuality. That boldness of approach--combined with a fresh score by Duke Ellington and electrifying performances b...

Shakespeare on Film

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Stephanie Shine, George Mount, and other members of the Seattle Shakespeare Company will provide introductions for these seven film adaptations (plus one documentary). Titles range from vintage, like Orson Welles' 1948 Macbeth, to more recent, such as Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet...

David Macaulay

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Ever wanted to know how you pass kidney stones? Of course you did. In The Way We Work: Getting to Know the Amazing Human Body, Macaulay answers all those questions and more about anatomy. Previously the author of The Way Things Work, he brings a similarly analytical bent to our basic p...

Group Reading

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Susan Orlean

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Staff writer for The New Yorker, played by none other than Meryl Streep in the film adaptation of The Orchid Thief, she's turned her hand to children's literature with Lazy Little Loafers. For kids of reading age, the book addresses why babies (i.e., those younger, resented new ...

Brent Amaker & the Rodeo, Panda & Angel, the Hands

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
West Seattle isn't exactly one of the city's live music hubs (I know, I live there), but that's changing, and here's a big reason why: the Admiral Theater has begun scheduling live shows, to be held in a space that can fit up to 400 people. They're applying for a liquor license. And best of all, the...

Spring Awakening

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Franz Wedekind wasn’t exactly a hit playwright back in his day—though he might have been one of the more notorious. His 1891 play Spring Awakening wasn’t even produced until 1906, and wasn’t produced in English till 1917, when the New York production closed a...

God’s Ear

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
A new play about a husband and wife coming to terms with the death of their child—sounds like a miserable evening of theater. But, strange to say, Jenny Schwartz’s God’s Ear is actually a lot of fun. It’s an inventive, unpredictable fairy tale in which drag queens, ...

The Esoterics

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Thought to be the oldest surviving monotheistic texts in the world, the gathas, or hymns, of Zoroastrianism can be roughly dated to 4,000 B.C. Esoterics conductor Eric Banks has woven these ancient melodies into Daman, his evening-length choral opera (scored for 40 solo v...

Air Supply

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
I'd love to report that there's an Air Supply hipster revival kinda thing underway, but alas, there isn't. At least none that I've caught wind of. Perhaps the Aussie-British group's infamous soft-rock is too toxic for even ironic appreciation or a "Yacht Rock" spoof--after all, they were the antithe...

Ill Bill

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Ill Bill grabbed the title of his new release The Hour of Reprisal from a Slayer song, and then devoted a track to a rhyming timeline of the group's career. Add cameo appearances from Killswitch Engage singer Howard Jones, Bad Brains and Soulfly growler Max Cavalera, and raprock-phobes might ...

Amorphis

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Amorphis shows play like a Finnish literary tutorial, with the group borrowing liberally from the country's national epic the Kalevala. It's prime progressive-metal fodder, depicting heroic feats (a character must bridle the Demon's horse and shoot the swan of the underworld) and hideous vill...

Joan Osborne

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Mock "One of Us" all you want, but Joan Osborne actually makes other songs, too, and some of those other songs are very good. When I was ten, I "borrowed" my dad's copy of Relish (the album on which the infamous song was released originally). I usually skipped over "One Of Us"; I preferred ...

Giant Sand

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
It's been about 25 years since Tucson, Arizona singer/multi-instrumentalist Howe Gelb slapped his Giant Sand moniker on a piece of vinyl and launched a career of atmospheric, sun-baked, Neil Young-inspired roots-rock, one that's delivered nearly two dozen high-quality recordings and directly influen...

House of Thee Unholy #2

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
The music of Led Zeppelin, the thrill of burlesque, Broadway-level talent...what more could you want? The latest brainchild from Seattle's Swedish Housewife production company, "House of Thee Unholy #2" picks up right where last year's burlesque Zeppelin tribute left off. Featuring a mouth-watering ...

Marcella Hazan

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
One of the most beloved Italian cooks of our day, Marcella Hazan comes to Chateau Ste. Michelle to celebrate the release of her memoir, Amarcord: Marcella Remembers. Hazan has been graced with lifetime achievement awards from both the James Beard Foundation and the International Association o...

MC Chris

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Forget the Gorillaz--MC Chris is the real cartoon character of hip-hop, and not just because he plays them on Cartoon Network. His voice has a shrill quality that sounds like the squeal ejected by those animated creatures in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, who, if you'll recall, were dispatched by b...

The Pica Beats (CD release)

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Hearing a band which has seasoned a record with peculiar instrumentation can cause one of two reactions in rock 'n roll purists: 1) Immediate seizure of the opportunity to cite every musician that has ever employed a theremin, vibraphone, or kazoo since the beginning of recorded sound, or 2) exagger...

Cut Copy

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
If you're tired of laptop-based hipster DJ's being billed as "the biggest dance party of the year," (ahem! Girltalk), then prepare yourself for the real thing as Cut Copy takes over the Showbox for some guaranteed roof-raising. After putting in their requisite time as openers for uber-acts such as B...

Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band came charging out of the gates surrounded by a cloud of self-made hype so thick and intoxicating that Seattle's music community got completely swept up in it before anyone even heard the band's music. Which was the idea (specifically, guitarist Benjamin Verdoes' idea). An...

Black Kids

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Despite Pitchfork's sad puppy dog review of Partie Traumatic, Black Kids have met with success and adoration on the band's nonstop tour circuit. They've hit festivals like Glastonbury and Lollapalooza and toured with the likes of Cut Copy, Sons and Daughters, Kate Nash and a slew of others. N...

Thee Oh Sees

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
There are about nine zillion excellent shows in Rocktober, but having so many impressive underground acts on one bill just might be the best thing on the agenda, at least for music fans who like their art punk served straight from the garage or viewed through a kaleidoscope. Thee Oh Sees are a vital...

The War Party

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Vincent Delaney’s politically driven play is wonderfully atypical of political theater. While so many of his contemporaries have taken on the simple task of Bush-bashing, Delaney has written a much more complex story, providing insights into politics as both folly and inspiration. After losing ...

Sex in Seattle, Episode 16

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
“The Space In-Between,” which easily could have been renamed “Who’s Your Daddy?”, maintains playwright Kathy Hsieh’s tradition of deliciously scandalous plot development, as the damsels of the newest installment in this long-running stage serial again effortlessly flatt...

Cynthia Consentino and Buddy Bunting: Stalemate

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
In her sculptures, Massachusetts-based Cynthia Consentino pairs diminutive girls’ torsos with snarling wolf heads and grafts impish boy faces onto docile rabbits’ bodies. These figures offer a provocative (and totally creepy) exploration of what influences children’s notions of gender...

Black Sun

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
As the most touched, caressed, and fondled piece of public art in Seattle, I would nominate Black Sun, installed at the old SAM (now SAAM) on Capitol Hill back in 1969. Hard to remember now, but American-born sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was once considered a rather daring modernis...

Seattle Seahawks versus Green Bay Packers

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
In some cars, you have to put all your weight on the gas pedal just to keep up with traffic. In others, a light tap will place you in the fast lane. Qwest Field is in that second category. State-of-the-art acoustic design maximizes the noise that rabid Seahawks fans already generate in abundance. An...

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Not all of us can embrace the steampunk movement, not if it means wooden computers and carrying our flash drives on gold watch chains, though Paul DiFilippo might argue otherwise. The Rhode Island writer of Cosmocopia (Payseur & Schmidt, $65) will appear with local artist Jim Woodring to disc...
