Living the high life in a beautiful sprawling mansion, she wanders through the vacant space weaving between emotional highs and lows.

One of the benefits of arriving early at the ballpark is that sometimes you get treated to a little extra entertainment for the price of your ticket. Yesterday was Madison Bumgarner’s between-starts throwing day. There weren’t many fans in the park yet, but most of those who were crowded near the Giants bullpen to see …
Lately, the San Francisco Giants have followed their usual script of good pitching and weak hitting, as illustrated by the last three starts by Madison Bumgarner, losses by scores of 2-0, 1-0, and 3-2. They are doing much better in the standings than they should, mostly because they have owned the NL West-leading Los Angeles …
My favorite photo from our Washington, D.C. experience today was of a reflection. We caught this shadow on the back of the Lincoln memorial at sunset, as a dad was proudly taking a picture of his son, who had just graduated from college. The dad asked the son to take off his robe but to …

Former Judge on Norway’s version …
It’s Friday night in Seattle and there’s a lot going on. I chose to attend the 2015 Psychobilly Brawl. I don’t think I’ve missed the annual Psychobilly Brawl since 2007. This year’s brawl was brought to us by Zorchradio, the psychobilly program which airs on Thursday nights from seven to ten p.m. on realpunkradio.com Headlining …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HGuS3uUJP0 The reggae hits just keep on coming from comedian Eddie Murphy… The King of Comedy meets the King of Dancehall? Yes, you read that correctly. Eddie Murphy‘s latest foray into reggae is a collaboration with Beenie Man, entitled “Wonna Deez Nights.” Where Eddie’s “Red Light” and “Oh Jah Jah” were ruminative, roots-y tunes colored …
Tuesday June 16 was a day to remember. It marked the beginning of summer vacation for this Seattle teacher and also marked the illustrious return of UK Subs, one of the few original punk bands still recording and touring today.

Sad news arrived from Seattle today. Supersuckers were a favorite live band of mine in the 90s. The first concert I saw in Seattle in 1992 or 3 was Supersuckers with the Del Lagunas (Gas Huffer playing surf music). I wound up seeing them at least ten times over the years and enjoyed every show. …

On first glance, the above title requires a suspension of disbelief. Though the San Francisco Giants endured a longer journey in the wilderness than the Golden State Warriors, the Warriors were an even less likely prospect to arrive in the promised land. The Giants at least teased their fans occasionally with the possibility of a …
These “Aching” woods are lovely, moody, dark and deep, And I have moody promises to keep, And moody miles to go before I sleep… Just leave all your preconceptions behind and listen…
Check out “Manning Hill,” a sick and philthy video by aspiring Canadian geniuses Chastity where sounds and images work together like a Great White Northern suburban message for the ages.

Another Saturday night in Seattle and I have the esteemed privilege of seeing our very own Hollowpoints play the new Funhouse location with some phenomenal supporting acts to boot. The band just preceding The Hollowpoints were so wild I almost saw sparks fly off the stage. Besides being really adorable, this punk rock quartet churned …
I found this video while in a recent youtube vortex of Australian artists. It’s a lovely song and a nice little video issued last fall by Lanie Lane, a singer who had some chart success down under and even played a show with Sir Tom Jones. Alas, Lanie has decided, before ever becoming known on …

Graig Markel and the 88th St. Band are sharing a new tune and giving you specific listening instructions, “This new tune requires the windows rolled down,” says Markel. “Maybe a drive to Golden Gardens.

The Damian Marley produced song, which will also be accompanied with a new music video directed by Jamaica’s own Ras Kassa, is a …
The garlic scapes are curling, giving us an early teaser taste of garlic before the garlic bulbs are ready. Visiting my cousin at the top of Wisconsin, a farmer’s market vender had made an amazing garlic scape pesto by just blending the garlic scapes with a little olive oil, cheese and nuts. Creating a perfect …
If you have any open dirt odds are good you have lambs quarter. This is one I was slow to buy into, but I am a convert! I have added it to my breakfast egg bake and mixed it with pork in wontons. Pick the young leaves and use it anyway you would cooked spinach. …
