Women in Music: Sleater-Kinney
July 15th, 2008 by Eric Atienza
Musically speaking, conversation regarding Washington State is usually reduced to a certain pair of grunge bands that made somewhat of a splash in the early 90s. Less (if anything) is said about three women from Olympia who invaded the rock and roll boys club to deliver some of the most biting, acerbic, and gritty music to spring from the American indie scene.

What’s the Big Deal with Amy Winehouse?
July 11th, 2008 by Kimberlee Morrison
Since her 2007 break out album Back to Black, Amy Winehouse has become a tabloid queen. The world watches with pity and fascination as she plays out a classic tale of the drug addicted songstress on a downward spiral. Winehouse may have thwarted the sophomore slump with Back to Black - winning Winehouse critical acclaim and five Grammys in February, including Best New Artist - however, Winehouse’s success has been plagued with the dark cloud of her drug and alcohol addiction causing sloppy and/or canceled performances, as well as a cornucopia of health and legal problems.

Listening In Live: Tom Waits in Columbus, 6/28/08
June 30th, 2008 by Mykola Bilokonsky
This past weekend I had the rare opportunity to witness a performance by the one and only Tom Waits. From the venue (the deliciously gaudy art-deco miasma known as the Ohio Theater) to the merchandise stand (CDs, a pamphlet containing Waits’s interview with himself, and T-Shirts made from “real oil-slick photographs taken by Tom himself”) to the audience comprised of every social group you can imagine (the punk kids getting into it with the WWII vets, two seats down from the lesbian soccer moms), the show was a performance long before Waits even showed up on stage.

What’s The Big Deal With Wilco?
June 26th, 2008 by Steve Mock
“Jeff Tweedy is a twat,” one former major-label president told me at the height of the singer’s travails with Reprise. Though acknowledging the enduring merit of Wilco’s music, the executive–who didn’t even work for Warner Brothers–marveled at Wilco’s desire to make “indulgent albums” for what had become the music industry’s largest corporation. “It’s unacceptable at this time for any artist to behave the way he does. Who does he think he is? Neil Young?”
