Wild Waves

As I pull into the Wild Waves parking lot, girls in bikinis bounce toward the park's entrance. A group of shirtless guys chug energy drinks on the hood of a car. The sun breaks through the clouds and Jay-Z can be heard blasting inside the park. From the parking lot, Wild

It must be the water

Three Air Force combat controllers had been left behind. In May 1968, two North Vietnamese Army (NVA) regiments attacked the Army's Special Forces camp at Kham Duc in South Vietnam. The base had a 6,000-foot asphalt runway; wooded hills surrounded the area. In early May, the NVA occupied the hills and began to

A long time ago (meh, a few years back), in a place far, far away (Shanghai), a man entered a flea market and purchased a DVD, assuming it was one of the prequels to a certain sci-fi American franchise. It turned out to be an actual work

THE DAMAGE REPORT: Be the scene

Summer is here (finally) and in the heat the other night I had a great discussion with my dear friends DJ Aaron Mack and Metal God of Shred Shug Lewis. Over some icy drinks and blaring N.W.A. and Merciful Fate we talked about "the scene" when we all started in

Boy or a girl

Are you a boy or a girl? It seems like a simple enough question for most people. But what if your gender identity is not so obvious? What if you are transgendered or intersex or a girl with short hair and small breasts who wears gender-neutral clothing? And what if

Dark pop concepts

Concept albums have existed for decades, utilizing a record's full length and capabilities to tell one unifying story. Usually, though, these albums function like short stories: a band or artist gets a bug of an idea and crafts a narrative through 40 or 80 minutes of music. At their most

When walking into the art gallery at South Puget Sound Community College, the first thing to greet the eye is a curtain of hanging white porcelain shapes suspended by clear monofilament line. It is like a bead curtain, but it is not beads. It is a representation of genome sequencing.

Almost Paradise

I enjoyed opening night of Footloose at Tacoma Musical Playhouse. It's a rocking good, high-energy show with great music and dancing. The music is mostly up-tempos rock and roll blended with a touch of gospel and show tunes, and an occasional sweet love song such as the beautiful "Almost Paradise,"

Noise and effects. Noise and effects. Phil Elverum - as The Microphones, or Mount Eerie, or just about any other name in the book, I'd presume - is all about noise and effects. It's lo-fi, and repetitive, and uber-artistic, and the kind of thing that's about as
