In the summer, sitting on my patio drinking a cocktail is the adult equivalent of hanging out at the Oakbrook pool as a kid. The first sip always gives me the same delicious feeling I had when lifeguard Jack Connelly (yup, that one) screamed, "Adult swim is over! Kids can

Fresh from reincarnating Courtney Love and Hole for Night of the Living Tribute Bands 2014, Oly's all-grrl rock trio Full Moon Radio will blow the roof off the Midnight Sun Friday night. (That's a shame, as Theater Artists Olympia just repaired and repainted the joint.) Even better, the event is

When I call Doug Stanhope, I catch him swimming in a pool somewhere. "Let me dry off my head," he says, "crack open a warm beer and light a cigarette." For those not immediately familiar with Stanhope, you may remember him as the co-host (along with Joe Rogan) of the ill-fated reboot

Drum n bass currently enjoys not nearly as much of the fawning media attention lavished on it in the mid-‘90s, when magazines anointed Roni Size and Goldie the kings of rapid-fire jungle. Then the R&B-flavored two-step genre has proved more commercially viable, at least in the U.K. And with that,

His Musicians Exchange buys, sells, trades and consigns on South Tacoma Way. Richholt, who
