There’s not a mom, dad or child caretaker on earth that doesn’t sometimes feel that dealing with their little ones is sapping their ability to converse on sophisticated world topics like they used to. Kids need things simplified and unless you gave birth to Einstein, you probably find yourself talking to kids in a language …
Just because you can’t climb stairs well or are in a wheelchair doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your home, your friends or your family. To people with mobility issues, stairs can be their worst nightmare. You want to go upstairs to get something, but what an effort. You’d like to be downstairs to stay involved, …
Last Saturday at the KNBR Giants Fan Fest I walked onto the grass of AT&T Park for the first time. If anyone had told me beforehand that it would be one of the most frustrating experiences of my life, I would have thought that to be impossible. However, I will remove the suspense from this …
The world grows ever more complex with rising and declining populations in various regions. Much of the infrastructure that’s already in place wasn’t designed around the needs of modern people who face high gas prices and dwindling resources, and finding ways to efficiently and effectively use the land that’s available is going to be one …
A proper security plan for a warehouse includes many layers of protection, but one of the most important is securing the loading dock.

Ben Bloom’s band Polyrhythmics definitely deserves their opportunity to perform on KEXP on Feb. 19 and they are absolutely going to slay it. I caught them at a music festival this Summer and they are one of the tightest bands I’ve ever seen. They are working really hard and it’s nice to see a crew …
I just got off the phone with Jabrille AKA Jimmy James. There is no way for us talk for less than 75 minutes on the subject of SOUL. He does most of the talking because he’s one of the foremost experts on the classic era SOUL on planet earth. If you are playing guitar or …
Friday night February 8 took me once again to Darrell’s Tavern in Shoreline just north of Seattle. Darrell’s has become quite the happening place and is the ideal venue to see burgeoning local acts.

We were the Flintstones kids — ten million strong — the Pepsi Generation, born in the Age of Aquarius. For us, chia was a pet (as were rocks), not a food. We were going to manage the world better than our parents’ generation…. – Robert http://youtu.be/BzdHxqwTO-4
A year-and-a-half ago I walked into the legendary Berlin nightclub on Belmont Street in Chicago for the first time in probably two decades. A bit of expansion, some needed touch-ups to the restrooms, but for the most part the place retained the charm the key value that made me a straight regular at a mostly …
Saturday night in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood I attended one of the hottest shows in town — Ken Stringfellow with the Maldives. Both Friday’s and Saturday’s shows were sell outs and that says a lot seeing how many shows were happening those same nights. Ken Stringfellow was a founding member and half the driving force behind …
There is something drastically wrong with America’s prison system. It can be hard to put a finger on exactly what is wrong, especially when you read the differing opinions of so-called experts in the field. No matter the expert or the field that person represents, most agree on one thing: Things need to change. Here …
If you’ve ever gone online to find out more about a health symptom, you’re certainly not alone.

Thinking to get an early start to this Super Bowl post, I wrote the following two paragraphs prior to the game: The National Football League requires its fans to wait two full weeks after the conclusion of its conference playoffs for the Super Bowl to take place. This is an ungodly amount of time that …
Friday night was the start of a new month and the kickoff of what looks to be a very busy month in Seattle for great bands playing live music. And what a kickoff this was! This kick off runs rings around the kickoffs I will be avoiding on Super Bowl Sunday. Unfortunately I missed the …
Here’s a fantastic 26 minutes of latter day Roxy. The first tune is the fabulous “Dance Away,” with the immortal line “You’re dressed to kill and guess who’s dyin’?” The second tune is their Avalon-era cover of John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy.” Steve Stav, who viewed this particular tour in Vancouver, BC, called it, “awesome, mindblowing.”
In addition to youthful Carly’s full lips, porcelain teeth and shapely thigh, this delicious live clip features George Harrison talking with Art Garfunkel sotto voce about being overshadowed by bandmates.

I greatly appreciate hearing from folks on birthdays, and I suspect that my very favorite aspect of Facebook is the small cascade of good wishes that trickle in all day long.

The Big Wu have been around for more than 20 years. Based out of Minneapolis, they are one of the greatest live bands I’ve ever heard. I’ll bet that soon there will be all kinds of live sets on their website, so if you’re in the mood for something different, check these guys out. Yes, …
My PLAN: to sneak a 40 of Old English into Benaroya Hall and catch the Seattle Symphony. They will never be able to find the 40 because I’m going to wear a huge XXXL 90’s era Raiders Parka. I think I can score some tickets if I genuinely cover the event as a music journalist. …
