DIRTY DISH: Eating crap

The Dirty Dish is really dirty today. Pieces of some sort of organic matter are clinging to the sides. I suppose it’s time for a good wash, but we should first examine what’s been messing up The Dish. It would appear that we have a generous array-o-crap that has been

Judging Olympia's CDs by their covers

Picking up an album and examining the cover is the first step when shopping for, listening to or contemplating music. Sometimes gazing at the cover, studying the inside jackets and analyzing the art is half the fun. Below, Weekly Volcano art critic Alec Clayton gives his impression of a handful of

Humble Cub's "Telegram From Your Future Life"

As a songwriter, Allan Boothe has always had a vulnerability about him. As a performer, he more frequently comes across as a bundle of nerves than a rock star. On record, he has a way of revealing so much of himself in such a melancholy way - even as he's

Smooch Knob

Smooch Knob, a Portland-based hybrid of pop punk and bare breasts with a sound surprisingly less suggestive than their name, will hit Hell’s Kitchen Friday, June 27. Though the band (presumably) takes great pride in their combination of well written pop songs and onstage eye candy — another way of

Monday, Dec. 31: Broken Oars

I have to admit, I'm a little sad that the first time I'm writing about Broken Oars, it's to announce their break-up and final show on New Year's Eve at The Loch's in Tacoma. The band did have a soft break-up back in April, but this is the real deal. Where

MUSIC CRITICS' PICKS: Glass Elevator, Seth Boyer, Campus MLK, New Frontier Lounge

>>> Friday, Dec. 28 GLASS ELEVATOR The opening song, "Life is Glorious," on Olympia's own Glass Elevator's most recent album, starts off sounding like '70s Italo-prog rock outfit P.F.M., and once all the jittery drums clear away it starts to sound like a long-lost Unicorns track. Song number two sounds like Ween

WHAT'S THE WORD?: Remembering Hilltop's Peter James

It is tough times out there. Just when there are some rays of hope like marijuana legalization and marriage equality; there are also ugly reminders about the unhealthiness of our planet and human culture. After the tragedy at Sandy Hook, our country argues over gun safety and the root causes

New Work by Devin Reynolds at Fulcrum Gallery

Burnished metal art is like glass art in this respect: It's natural beauty can be so enticing that the artist doesn't really have to do much of anything. It's so easy to get by with just a nice surface. Luckily for visitors to Fulcrum Gallery, artist Devin Reynolds brings a

Prevent future holiday dinner fails

Cooking for the holidays is complicated. And when you add a heaping quantity of family, friends and Martha Stewart-induced expectations of a perfectly prepared, heartwarming holiday feast, you could find yourself hiding in the pantry, guzzling cooking wine and wondering why you ever thought it was a good idea to

Dear Drink: Irish Handcuffs

Dear Irish Handcuffs, OK, I know what you're thinking. You think since last week I turned into the biggest crank-guy I'm going to use this column to grouse about the holidays again. You think I'm going to groan about my horrible holiday work schedule; how more gunfire erupted since the last week's

The Return of Roswell

Kind readers of the Weekly Volcano lend me your ears and allow me to describe to you a tragic scene in the Pacific Northwest. With the coming of winter and the departure of many fine local groups comes an ill point in the year in which great indie shows are
