  • Pop Culture: Seattle is so emo, or whatever…
    Emo music is a subgenre of punk rock that is characterized by emotional, often confessional lyrics, usually dealing with angst and social alienation. The music is sometimes raw, but almost always very melodic. Emo's heyday emerged after the year 2000, when it was popularized by bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! At The Disco. That era of emo is now strongly associated with the Millennial generation. These Millennial fans are likely feeling excited because these days, emo has taken over clubs in the Seattle area, and across the USA, with events like Emo Nite and Emo Night (two distinct emo parties), as well as “This Party Sucks! Emo Night,” and even “I’m Not OK. An Emo and Pop Punk Brunch” (hey, we did say it was strongly associated with Millennials, so there ya go). It's a funny thing, however, because as beloved as emo may be, there seems to be no consensus on what actually counts as emo music or an emo band. If you had asked our host Dyer Oxley before this episode, he would have pointed you to the 1990s for bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker, or Mineral. He was in for a big surprise. In this episode, Dyer speaks with three emo experts, KISW DJ Danny Vigill, Sub Pop's Michelle Fegahli, and KUOW's Teo Popescu, to discuss why emo nights are so popular and what qualifies as emo music in the first place. Upcoming Emo Night Events: Emo Nite at Neumos, May 2 Emo Night at El Corazon, May 3 Emo Night at The Airport Tavern, June 20 Other event recommendations from this week’s episode: Free Comic Book Day, May 3 Music Trivia at Easy Street in West Seattle, May 5/every other Monday Crypticon, May 2-4 Where’s your favorite place to meet up around arts and culture in the region?

  • Books: Meet Me At The Dystopian Mountaintop Getaway For Wealthy Elites
    “Pleasure can be a radical and a revolutionary act,” says author C Pam Zhang about her acclaimed novel “The Land of Milk and Honey.” Zhang discusses how living in Medina, WA during the pandemic inspired her dystopian and sapphic story about a chef working for the ultra-wealthy amid a global environmental collapse. We sift through food cultures, intergenerational conflict, finding joy and making meaning at the fictional end of the world. It’s a doozy!So, push this book to the front of your TBR pile because C Pam Zhang is on tour and she'll be at Town Hall Seattle on May 8th to discuss “The Land of Milk and Honey.”But wait! There's more! Here are some of Katie’s recommendations for what to do after you finish (and enjoy) The Land of Milk and Honey. “Build Your House Around My Body” by Violet Cooper Smith. This novel explores Vietnamese history, folklore, and colonial aftermath. It’s like a prequel to Zhang’s imagined world. Made in House… it’s not a book, it’s a restaurant, silly! This book will work your appetite. Settle your post-read bibimbap and banchan craving at this cafe in Seattle. They have locations in Fremont and Georgetown Other event recommendations from this week’s episode: Seattle Independent Bookstore Day (Saturday, April 26th) – Celebrate your favorite local bookstores like Ophelia’s in Fremont. Vanishing Seattle Variety Show (Wednesday, April 30th) - A truly one-of-a-kind even featuring local talent. Think: stand-up comedy, drag performances, and freaky film. All in tribute to Seattle’s past. Shhh! Unstreamble’s Secret Screening at SIFF Cinema Uptown (April 24th) - Join SIFF and Scarecrow for a mystery “unstreamable” film.

  • Art: Mastering Seattle's Art Walks, No MFA Required
    “Art walks humanize the viewing experience and create camaraderie, or at least, if not, create camaraderie, allow the opportunity for it.” That’s how local artist and art administrator Tommy Gregory describes art walks in Seattle. Our city is home to a dozen art walks and counting, including the longest-running art walk in the nation. Tommy loves this about Seattle - he usually goes to a handful of different art walks a month, often by himself. So he’s the perfect guide to tell us how to enjoy ourselves and connect with artists and other art walk participants. Tommy talks about the Pioneer Square Art Walk, which happens on the first Thursday of each month, and the Capitol Hill Art Walk, which happens on the second Thursday of each month. Here are some of Tommy’s recommendations for where to stop on each art walk. Pioneer Square: Stonington Gallery ArtX Contemporary Collins Pub The Meyer Pilchuck Glass School Seattle Office SOIL Art Gallery 4Culture Capitol Hill: Steve Gilbert Studio The Factory Vermillion Art Gallery & Bar Other Art Walks: Georgetown’s ART ATTACK on second Saturdays Edmonds Third Thursday Art Walk Olympia Art Walk, April 25-26 Tacoma Third Thursday Art Walk Bellingham First Friday Art Walk Other event recommendations from this week’s episode: The Great Gatsby, April 18-26 KEXP Phish Day Parties, April 18-19 Half-price tickets at Seattle Art Museum, April 1-30 Where’s your favorite place to meet up around arts and culture in the region?
