When you move to a city with your children, you are leaving all of their old haunts behind. Kids quickly develop a list of favorite things to do in and around town, and moving away from these activities can be stressful for your little ones. Finding things to do in your new city as soon …
“One of These Nights” is a hundred times better than everything else the Eagles ever produced, a delicious, irresistible groove with falsetto and funk, when the band was at the crossroads of disco and country rock. Disco is “the daughter of the Devil himself.” Of course, country rock is the namby pamby “angel in white.” …

It’s a chilly Saturday night in Seattle and I’ve headed south of downtown (SODO) to Studio Seven to catch a night of five northwest acts plus the legendary Koffin Kats from Detroit as headliners.

Nothing at all creepy about a father and daughter singing about incipient adultery. Yet the clavinet somehow takes the funkiness of the situation, makes it literal, and all moral queasiness is banished: Alchemy. – Tom Fredrickson is the proprietor of the unparalleled music blog, Lost Wax Method.

David Bowie is a staple on classic rock radio, and deservedly so. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (and my Rykodisc extended version) is clearly a four-star album. I am also quite fond of Outside (1995) and Earthling (2007), among other releases. Bowie has had duds. I listened to …
I have not been able to follow the logic of the government shutdown. Clearly, America has divided government. One faction(s) has sought repeatedly (>41 times by Congressional vote) to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which is approved legislation and upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Personally, I do not agree 100% with …
