Dead Man’s Attic

Before Chopstix, Fender’s or The Offbeat, the corner of Sixth Avenue and South Oakes was home to a unique antique shop called Dead Man’s Attic. The shop had a good two-year run from 1996 to 1997, but was seriously ahead of its time in that area. Dead Man’s, owned

A matter of Martins

There are few comedians who can keep my attention for more than about half an hour. Robin Williams, for example, is one funny dude in short spurts, but his high-energy, scatterbrained shtick gets older than Nina Hartley flicks after about 20 minutes. Sure, he gets flashed in the limelight much

Thirty and nerdy

This Sunday, Nov 9, Tacoma based jazz musician Cliff Colon will celebrate the release of a new CD — a CD that’s not your average disc. Made up of the music from the video game Contra, Colon’s ContraBand (get it?) is something for jazz purists and aging video game nerds

Four years ago I wrote a music column for the Weekly Volcano on a Tuesday night while my thoughts were elsewhere — Ohio to be exact. The fate of our nation was at stake, or so it truly felt that night, and there was no official word yet about whether
